A friend of mine in NY pointed me at the ten.wikipedia.org event going on later this month to celebrate Wikipedia's 10th Birthday, and specifically the DC event [1].
Did this come up at the meeting on Sunday?
Yes, we discussed it
Also, we are thinking about doing a GLAM Wiki DC conference in the late spring or summer (may or june) to focus on how libraries, museums, etc can collaborate with wikipedia. There were similar events in London and Paris a month ago.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. I did sign up to do a lightning talk though.
Excellent! :)
It would be great to get the word out about this event, I see that Kat got it added to the DC-TechEvents [2] calendar, which is good. I wonder if there's any way we can spread the word a bit more?
Please help spread the word. Now the holidays are over, it's a good time to tweet, post on facebook, etc.
We will do our usual "spam" on wikipedia user talk pages maybe later today
We will also have site-wide notices on wikipedia shortly once we take down Jimmy's thank you banner
