Hey everyone,
Just wanted you to be aware of the following upcoming Wikipedia events in
Massachusetts over the next month. Hope to see you all at our
organizational meeting on the 19th!
**Wed, April 16**
Law edit-a-thon at Harvard Law
School<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/HLS_edit-a-…on>,
Cambridge, MA. The organizers, Kendra Albert and Sam Feldman, are
requesting a facilitator (interest in law topics ideal but by no means
necessary): "We'd love to have some members of the local Wikimedia
community attend and help guide us, and if this edit-a-thon is successful,
we'd love to make a semi-regular event." If you'd be up for volunteering,
please contact Kendra at kalbert(a)cyber.law.harvard.edu or Sam via his talk
page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hallmark>. 2-7PM.
**Sat, April 19**

Brief recap of local WP events held so far this yr (will also include a
report from Berlin Wikimedia mtg, to which we are sending representatives);

worked on recently; Brainstorm spring events such as a potential trip to
Cape Cod for a photobombing expedition for Commons and a trip to
WikiConference USA in NYC; Brainstorm ideas for NE Wikimedians swag.
(T-shirt, buttons, etc.); Any other business you would like to bring up.

our very first Wikipedia edit-a-thon! PEM is committed to making
information about its collections available to a global audience. At this
first edit-a-thon, we'll be editing Wikipedia articles and uploading images
on our Native American and Asian collections using the resources and
expertise provided by the PEM curators and staff." 9AM-5PM.
cheers,
Maia
