On Saturday, Dec 3 at the MLK Jr Library, there will be a hackathon with
focus on open data, including anything related to wiki data.
http://opendatahackdc.eventbrite.com/
Some wiki-related ideas could include:
* working on a way to get the 2000 census data, in so many articles, updated
* making use of data sources like data.worldbank.org or from the federal
government (e.g. BLS) to make maps, populate infoboxes, etc.
* working with the National Register of Historic Places data, possibly in
preparation for doing more Wikis Take DC / Baltimore events or Wiki Loves
Monuments here
* working with the Smithsonian Art Inventories data -
http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ for WikiProject Public Art
* importing DC GIS data (more buildings) into OpenStreetMap -- no technical
skills required
* do you have any additional suggestions?
Not all projects need to be wiki-related or uber-technical, though we also
need skilled hackers and designers on Saturday.
Cheers,
Katie

Hi everyone,
I'm hosting a fine art edit-a-thon and meetup on December 17, Saturday. The
edit-a-thon will be at the Library Lab at DC's Martin Luther King, Jr.
Memorial Library in Chinatown, DC. The event will be followed with a meetup
at a nearby Irish pub (all ages welcome).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC_26
I do hope you'll register and share it with friends. This is following in
the foot steps of the very successful "GLAM Meetup" that I hosted a few
months ago. (Not to toot my own horn, but a lot of people came!!)
Have friends or colleagues who are not Wikimedians who might have interest?
Feel free to share this meetup Eventbrite invite with them:

Subject: [WikiDC] Board of Directors appointments and departures

Everyone,
Today, the Board of Directors appointed Kristin Anderson to fill the seat
previously held by Dan Rosenthal. Many of you will no doubt know Kristin
from her work with the Wikimania planning process, where she has held an
active role since the time of our initial bid. Kristin will serve on the
Board until the next scheduled election, which will take place in September.
Separately, the Board has, with great regret, accepted the resignation of
Robert Platt. We are grateful to Bob for all the assistance he has
provided to our chapter, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
Because of Bob's departure, there is again a vacancy on the Board, and we
would like to appoint someone to fill it in the near future. Anyone
interested in serving is invited to submit their name for consideration.
