The following is a message I have been asked to pass on to solicit local Bostonians to serve as volunteers for the Wikipedia in Higher Education Summit. This is a really exciting event, and it's a great chance to get to know some of the other Wikipedians and our allies across the country who have been up to some cool stuff this past year (one of which being David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, who I've almost confirmed as a speaker). And if you know anyone else who might be interested, not just Wikipedians, please let them know. You can find out a little more about the conference at <http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_in_Higher_Education_Summit>. Thanks! Dominic ---- The first Wikipedia in Higher Education Summit is being held on the Simmons campus on July 7-9. The Summit will be aimed at helping share (and create!) best practices regarding Wikipedia in the classroom, as well as share stories about previous experiences, network with other interested parties, and provide feedback about the future of Wikimedia's university programs. More than 100 professors, Wikipedia Ambassadors, and students will be on-hand to talk about Wikipedia in universities. We need a few volunteers to help out with the registration table and running assorted errands on all three days. Would you be willing to help for two hours or more? We need volunteers Thursday night (6-10pm), most of the day Friday (8-5:30pm), and all day Saturday (8am-10pm). We'd provide you with food and Wikipedia swag for your time. If you would be available to help out at any point, please drop Mishelle (mgonzales(a)wikimedia.org <mailto:mgonzales@wikimedia.org>) a line with the times you'd be available. Please feel free to forward this to potentially interested people -- the more the merrier!
