Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-boston] Wikimedia New England founding meeting in April?
In the interest of getting the ball rolling, I have gone ahead and created a meetup page
and selected Saturday, April 22 as our target date. Please see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/New_England
The idea here is that we haven't a well-attended event (like NYC's Wikipedia Day
mini-conference) in Boston in a long time. It would be good to get as many people together
as we can, and try to create momentum for the future. For example, do we want to hold a
Wiknic in two months' time (from the meetup date)? What can we do to make sure New
England is active in this year's US Wiki Loves Monuments campaign? And we want to
raise awareness among the community about ongoing initiatives like the education program
and GLAM, and about the upcoming Wikimania in DC this summer.
We'll need a venue. It sounds like the kind of event where we want a conference room
at a college or library, and I would suggest somewhere in Boston proper is probably better
than Cambridge. I can work on this, but if anyone else has a good idea, please chime in.

I'll try hard to make it as long as it's not during the first week of April, when
I'll be in California for work :-)

Hi Wiki-Pilgrims,
I was talking with Dominic, and how about we pull together a Wikimedia
New England founding meeting sometime in April?

We could also send a bit of a delegation from Wikimedia NYC chapter,
and perhaps Wikimedia DC too, to share our experiences.
Also, the next WALRUS online meeting on irc will be on April 11:

And of course all New Englanders are invited to join their fellow
Wiki-Americans at this special event at Wikimania in DC:
