Denny from the Wikidata team will be in Boston in November.
If folks are interested in having a meetup or something with him, you can let me and/or Lydia (cc-ed) know or reply on the Wikipedia talk page here:

Hey everyone, On October 25th, the UMass Amherst library system will be hosting a Wikipedia Loves Libraries event at the W. E. B. DuBois Library. We will be holding the event between nine and five, with a training session between nine and ten-thirty. It will be held on the 26th floor, in a library known for its spectacular views of the Connecticut River Valley. Below, are links which will give you more of an idea of what is going on. Have a great weekend everyone, and let us know if you’ll be attending! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/UMassAmherst/1 http://scholarworks.umass.edu/oa/2012/oct25/1/ Kevin Rutherford

Please confirm the date. The link you supplied lists the day as Thursday October 22nd. The 22nd is a Monday. Is this happening Monday the 22nd or Thursday the 25th?
Additionally, can you supply suggestions as to the best way to get to Amherst from Boston proper?
Finally, with three WLL events in four weeks (this, GW's Dorchester/Roxbury WLL on November 10, and my Cambridge WLL on the 17th) I do believe that it would be of great benefit it the coordinators of the WLL events, as well as other interested parties, held some sort of meeting (in person or, more likely, over IRC) to swap ideas and resources. Thoughts?
