Pharos,
I'll be in Hong Kong for about two weeks in September, so I might be
able to attend or organise something, but I can't speak for WMHK... Anyway
put me in touch.

Hi Deryck and all,
The Smithsonian folks aren't actually going on a tour of all of these
locations, but they do have partner museums and art spaces around the
world, and they would help getting these in touch with Wikimedia Asia
chapters and usergroups for the upcoming editathons.
So if your chapter or usergroup would like to participate, please just
say so, and I will put you in touch with the Smithsonian and their regional
partners.
Thanks,
Pharos
