Hello, all--
Exciting news! Next Wednesday is the re-instatement of our monthly meetup.
All are welcome -- you do not need to be an experienced Wikipedian to
attend:
http://www.meetup.com/wikipedia-5/events/220616428/
And if that's not enough for you, we've also had a wonderful series of
edit-a-thons in February and still have several more coming up in March. So
if you've been slowly going mad from cabin fever, there may be a
Wikipedia-related event near you to herald the start of Spring. (These snow
piles have to melt sometime, right?)

Hello -
It has been great to see the series of editathons and workshops over the

If anyone is considering attending the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin in
May, eligibility to attend depends on regular reports of activity, by the
end of this week: see below.
Warmly,
Sam

To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
We would like to refer to our call for registration for the Wikimedia
Conference from February 13, 2015. As we thoroughly hope that a lot of
Wikimedians will come to Berlin to actively participate in the conference,
we would like to point out that the eligibility deadline ends in two days
(February 28).
Please carefully check the overview of eligibility statuses before
registering. It is important to note that the criteria have changed
compared to last year. Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups
must have shown signs of recent activity AND be up-to-date on their
reporting by the eligibility deadline of February 28th. This means that
there are only two days left to follow-up on the aforementioned.
Please be kindly reminded to register until Monday, March 16, 2015. You
have less than three weeks left! For visa applicants we strongly recommend
to register as soon as possible and to check the amount of time needed for
applications to Schengen states.

deadline February 28):

Dear all:
AfroCROWD's next event will be HaitiCROWD on March 14th at the
Brooklyn Public Library's Info Commons from 12:30 to 3:30PM. The event
will showcase and invite engagement by attendees with the Haitian
Kreyòl, French and English Wikipedias and with our Haiti and its
diaspora suggested articles list.
It would be great to have interested NY Wikipedians there to help
onboard and generally guide both new people and returnees from our
February kickoff.
Here is the wikipage for the event:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/AfroCrowd/Events#HaitiCR…
If you plan to attend, please also sign up on the eventbrite to
facilitate communication leading up to the event:

Also, those who are curious about what was discussed at our kickoff
events can check out our AfroCROWD Kickoff Storify page:

Hi,
I hope everyone is doing okay with the endless snow. I'm wondering if
there's interest in resuming monthly meetups. Perhaps a location near Park
Street/Downtown Crossing would work ok for people on both sides of the
river.
Best,
Gabe
