As of now, forecasts for Sunday are for heavy rain in the morning, but
clearing up by afternoon, which sounds promising for this event:

I don't know about everyone else, but my schedule is just not flexible
enough to turn on a dime. I can't be available on April 23 and I have
already blocked out April 17 for this, so I will probably just be out
there this Sunday to shoot. If any of y'all wish to join me, I will be
glad for it. :-)

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
