My role as a Campus Ambassador is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors
The specific course that I am CA to is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Pol…
Basically, I go to a 2nd year graduate level course at Boston University
where I function as a Teaching Assistant. I introduced the students to
Wikipedia, including the principals of Wikipedia, how to edit, how to
create sandboxes, etc. I have been to the class three times (including
today) and assist the professor and students along the way.
As for me, I have been editing Wikipedia for *several* years. I have two
Good Articles to my credit and have experience in new page patrolling,
anti-vandalism, copy editing and other areas.
I would like to create a formal Boston/New England Wikimedia Chapter and
would be happy to do a bit of the legwork in getting it off the ground.
Who is interested?

I think many of us would like to hear about the
ambassadorship program.
Maybe we could have a meetup with an agenda instead of a generic meet
and greet.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-boston] Chapter?
Hello Baruch,
We are currently a regional meetup group, not a chapter; currently
planning a few events in the area. Our events to date have not
required incorporating (though it might have been handy when we hosted
Wikimania). There is some interest in starting one - talk of a Boston
or New England chapter was on the agenda at the recent
recentchangescamp.
Feel free to share any specific ideas you have. We should definitely
get the local campus ambassadors to pool their thoughts about how
things are going on their campuses.
