I am Wikimedia DC's Cultural Partnerships Coordinator, and I have
experience with this sort of event. I would be happy to assist. I am also
planning to attend the March editathon, so I will be seeing you then. I
would be interested in meeting with you and any other staff not just to
plan for this event, but also to talk about the bigger picture and how I
can help you with future Wikimedia–GW Libraries collaborative projects.
