Dear Wikifiends,
Joseph Reagle and Mako and I are discussing starting a reading group about Wikipedia and institutions of learning this term. Details haven't been finalized yet, but I'd like to bounce ideas off of anyone who is interested and available. It would be hosted at the Berkman Center, and build on some of the current work there and at the Center for Collective Intelligence @ MIT, but would also be for sharing projects and ideas of the participants, and developing a good reading list of outstanding papers in collaboration from many different disciplines, from operational strategy to political science to sociology to the history of science and creativity.
There are also some guests from out of town visiting late next week, from the French Wikipedia and from Wikimedia, and there's a chance that we could get them to join for a Wednesday meeting.
I know this is short notice, but if we have enough interest I'll arrange for light food and a room at Berkman - so please rsvp to the list if interested with when you would be free after 6pm on Wed.
Warmly, SJ
OK, this is definitely on.
Current guests will include Zach Exley, Wikimedia's new chief community officer, and Adam Holt, OLPC's long-time community manager. Timing is still being finalized - I want to host it at Berkman at a time when some of the fellows and students there can attend, but please pencil in Wed evening from 5:30 to 8...
