meeting up tonight
by Sven Manguard 10 Jul '12

I just got on the mailing list, so I'm sorry for the blunt force trauma way of getting into this thread, but I also just got in and am down for anything. If my computer is on I'll be in IRC in #wikimania (among other rooms). That might be a good way to talk as well. Real time and stuff. Cheers, Sven

Hi All, I am a Community Manager for Wikia and excited to announce that we will be hosting a Pizza Party Friday July 13th at 6pm to celebrate Wikimania. Please join us at Famous Luigi's after Friday's sessions for some pizza and drinks, to chat about wikis, community and what the future holds. RSVP here! <http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3726879196> Famous Luigi's Pizza is located within walking distance of both the conference location and the conference hotel. If you are among the first 100 attendees, you'll even get a free WIkia t-shirt. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with me (or find me during the conference). We hope to see you there! Cheers, Sarah -- Sarah Manley Community Manager http://www.wikia.com

Tours!

09 Jul '12

We have some tours going on tomorrow around DC, including the Capitol, National Archives, and Congressional Cemetery. (please RSVP for these) http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tours Time permitting, we can walk around the National Mall and take you to the sculpture garden at the National Gallery of Art (or any other requests?). The weather is supposed to be a lovely with a high temperature of ~30 C (~86 F). On Friday night, after the education meetup, I'm happy to take people around the Georgetown neighborhood on an informal walking tour. :) Feel free to make additional sections on the tour page for self organizing groups to go sightseeing places. Cheers, Katie -- Board member, Wikimedia District of Columbia http://wikimediadc.org @wikimediadc / @wikimania2012

Are you staying at HI in NYC and taking the wikibus?
by Thomas Dalton 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Sorry to keep sending NYC specific emails to the general wikimania list. We all go to DC tomorrow, so there won't be many more! If you are staying at the HI hostel in NYC and are taking the wikibus, meet in the hostel lobby at 8:15. Please don't be late, or you will get us all in trouble!
