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):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Wikipedia_APA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Wikipedia_APA#Global_Campaign...
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 Wikimedia NYC
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 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 Wikimedia NYC

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.

I've sent Deryck an email putting him in touch with the Smithsonian folks, can also include anyone else who plans to be active in Hong Kong next month.
Also, I've written to the Smithsonian folks asking specifically about their other partners in the countries who expressed interest here.

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...
