Hi Richard,
If you have the list of "partner organization" online for us to look
at, it would be easier for us to look at whether particiipation is
possible. Who knows, some of this partner organzization probably
already overlap with someone that we already worked with, or better,
we know who to work with in the future.
And glad to see some of the ex-WMHK emerge again...

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

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun! Would it work better the other way
round - Smithsonian staff set out a range of dates they can be in each
place, then local Wikimedians sign up to meet them?

Hi Wikimedia Asia chapters and usergroups,
I wanted to share with you details of the upcoming Smithsonian Asian
American editathon campaign for September 2015, which is also being joined
by Wikimedia Thailand and hopefully others in Asia (following a discussion
at Wikimania):

The Smithsonian folks have a pretty significant publicity effort they can
put out, and I think the Smithsonian is a well-known name globally (and also
Museum of Modern Art in NYC too), so it would be great if we could promote
participation among the different members of the Wikimedia Asia Project as
well.
The Smithsonian people plan to hold events at museums in about 5-10 US
cities (and also has ties to art spaces in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, etc), so
pairing that with international events could be mutually beneficial (as we
did with the Art+Feminism campaign).
If your chapter or usergroup is interested , we'd be very glad to put you
in touch with the Smithsonian folks who can share their own contacts in
these cities.
Thanks,
Pharos
