I will be attending a family reunion in New Hampshire July 24-July 31. That 2 1/2 months from now, so I am thinking that we have time to organize a Wikipedia meeting there, fashioned after the meetings we will be having in Europe this summer, i.e. informal gatherings spontaneously organized.
I think that for most people the weekends are best, and so I tentatively nominate July 25th, Sunday, as the best time for a meeting. I think that the best location would be Boston, since that's closer to New York than New Hampshire is, and a big enough city on it's own of course.

Please sign up, volunteer to organize, make suggestions, etc.

You do realize that's the week of the Democratic National Convention, I hope.
No, I didn't know that. I should study the dates carefully and make an adjustment. My wife thinks that Sunday is a bad day anyway, since that's her father's birthday, which is the whole point of the trip.
Now I think that the following Saturday will be better, but let's check the dates of the Democratic convention, because I'm sure the town will be a zoo at that time.
