There is lots going on in the DC area for Wikimedia and enough things to
discuss that I think we should do more regular meetups. I propose we try
doing monthly meetups, and rotate between weeknights (w/ talks, discussions)
and weekends (at a restaurant, socializing only).
I propose the next meetup be on November 17th, in the evening (~7-9pm) at
some place near the metro (I'm looking into it). If this goes well, we can
make it a regularly thing, supplementing our social meetups.
Topics for discussion or as short presentations can include:
* Smithsonian collaboration
* Wikimedia public policy initiative
* Discuss how to move forward with formalizing Wikimedia DC. (as a local,
separate chapter or local affiliate of a regional chapter? pros/cons, next
steps)
* Wikimedia fundraiser
* your topic ...

If people want, we can migrate after the meetup to a pub or some place.
Cheers,
