Hi all,
Please CC in anyone that I forgot, I'm missing several email addresses.
We're trying to rapidly plan a Wikimeetup #11, which would coincide with a WMF public policy initiative meeting, some time around August 10th. Pete Forsyth is CC'd in on this, and can correct me on the time/date/venue, but basically the gist of it is that the initiative will be having a dinner with some academic types, and we would host the meetup at the same location immediately afterwards. This, of course, cuts down on a lot of the planning we would have to do involving setting the time/date/location -- the biggest thing for us would simply be notifying people and getting them all out there.
Also, and I'll let Pete elaborate further on this, a certain number of attendees would be welcome to attend the dinner before the meetup and enjoy the free dinner while also getting to mingle with some academics and WMF staff.
So, what are our first steps that we need to do to get this started? Here's what I see (in no particular order)
*Create the meetup page.
*Get BrownBot to notify people
*Figure out attendees to the dinner
*Figure out an agenda for the meetup
