Hello again all... for what it's worth, I do know Ginnie Cooper, the D.C.
Public Library Director.
I saw past threads about looking for folks to collaborate with in D.C. - I'd
be happy to introduce anyone to her if that is helpful.

You might find out if the D.C. PL  have similar thoughts and might be
interested in hosting a lab.

The most central need is either an existing space that we could use
for the summer - say if they had a building with rooms that already
handle digitzation and could be built out - or a new somewhat unused
space.  Preferably run by an organization that has its own ideas along
these lines, since we would want to include them as a central partner
and leave the lab there once built as the first of its kind.

Bonus for them: some free hardware and expertise, and a spotlight and
some new activity over the summer.
Bonus for liblabs: basic plant and logistics taken care of, and an
existing stream of potential users/participants coming to the
building.

I reached out to Ginnie yesterday and she responded with enthusiasm!  DCPL
definitely sounds like a potential host/partner.
I just sent an email introduction to her and SJ.
Hopefully something will come of this!

Pay heed, citizens!

The D.C. branch of the Great American Wiknic will be on Saturday, June
25 at the Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Park) in Arlington, by
the Rosslyn metro on the orange and blue lines!

This is the picnic assembled by its attendees. What will YOU bring?

I won't be at the picnic, sadly. However, if someone has a means of
obtaining some video footage, might they capture some video of the
attendees, particularly asking them the question "what does Wikipedia mean
to you?" and "what are the best things that DC has to offer"? If we get some
good responses, I may be able to stitch stuff together into a mini
promotional video for Wikimania.

Also, please take lots of pictures!

Sincerely,

Nicholas Michael Bashour
