Re: [Wikimedia-boston] Upcoming WP events & request for law edit-a-thon facilitator

Hey everyone, Just wanted you to be aware of the following upcoming Wikipedia events in Massachusetts over the next month. Hope to see you all at our organizational meeting on the 19th! **Wed, April 16** Law edit-a-thon at Harvard Law School, Cambridge, MA. The organizers, Kendra Albert and Sam Feldman, are requesting a facilitator (interest in law topics ideal but by no means necessary): "We'd love to have some members of the local Wikimedia community attend and help guide us, and if this edit-a-thon is successful, we'd love to make a semi-regular event." If you'd be up for volunteering, please contact Kendra at kalbert(a)cyber.law.harvard.edu or Sam via his talk page. 2-7PM. **Sat, April 19** New England Wikimedians general meeting, Cambridge, MA. Agenda: Meet-and-greet for all new and returning members; Brief recap of local WP events held so far this yr (will also include a report from Berlin Wikimedia mtg, to which we are sending representatives); Attendees recount any interesting Wiki projects that they are proud to have worked on recently; Brainstorm spring events such as a potential trip to Cape Cod for a photobombing expedition for Commons and a trip to WikiConference USA in NYC; Brainstorm ideas for NE Wikimedians swag. (T-shirt, buttons, etc.); Any other business you would like to bring up. 1-3PM. **Sat, May 3** Native American & Chinese Art edit-a-thon at the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA. "Come and join the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) for our very first Wikipedia edit-a-thon! PEM is committed to making information about its collections available to a global audience. At this first edit-a-thon, we'll be editing Wikipedia articles and uploading images on our Native American and Asian collections using the resources and expertise provided by the PEM curators and staff." 9AM-5PM. cheers, Maia maiaw.com | WPuser:Girona7 | @20tauri _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-boston mailing list Wikimedia-boston(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-boston
