Hi all,
Current forecasts predict a 70-80% chance of rain on Sunday in Boston. If
the chance of rain is still above 50% as of Friday morning, let's move the
date of Wikipedia Takes Boston to next Saturday, 4/23. If folks could send
a quick note on their interest/available for next Saturday, that would be
great. Suggestions for other possible rain dates are welcome.
In other news, we're still looking for a venue for the uploading party.
Attempts to get space at MIT and BU haven't worked out thus far, and Boston
Public Library is closed on Sunday per holiday observance. Being able to
get space at a university seems a bit unlikely for this Sunday. But if
anyone has connections to local universities and would be willing to look
into reserving space for next Saturday, please let me know.
If we don't end up getting a meeting room somewhere, then maybe we can head
to a local restaurant that has free WiFi? Wikipedia Takes Over Boston WiFi
Hotspots?
I'm also going to look into reserving space at BPL for next Saturday. BPL
closes at 5:00 PM on Saturdays. So if we can space there and the rain date
kicks in, then we'll probably need to begin the uploading party at 4ish. In
this case we would probably shift the start time to 11:30 AM instead of
12:30 PM.
Best,
Eric
