I'm considering attending, but I have other commitments later that day. Is there an anticipated duration for the meeting?

I would anticipate 1-2 hours, but that's really just a guess.
The meeting will also be broadcast by conference call (see http://wikidc.org/wiki/Meetings for the numbers), so that's an alternative for anyone with schedule constraints.

Attached are two PNG versions of the proposed logo. They're not meant to be separate logos, just two versions of the same one, where the use of either would depend on the context. One version has the text of the name, designed for situations where the text would be large enough to read (i.e. banners, posters, large promotional materials, etc.). The non-text version is for use in social media, postcards, notepads etc., where the text otherwise would be too small to read. Let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggetions
Sincerely,

The Script on the one with words is too complicated, you can use something stylish but it needs to be immediately readable. Also I think the tilt on the W in both is a little too much, doesn't feel quite right. I am not much of an artist so I don't know how to fix those particular issues, but those are my thoughts.

As far as I know, all Wikimedia chapters use the same basic logo. (Basically, the Wikimedia Foundation logo http://wikimediafoundation.org with "PLACE" instead of "FOUNDATION".)
I don't know if you guys really want to be spending energy coming up with a new logo if you won't actually be able to use it as a formal chapter. If you guys were just planning on using this until you were an official chapter, then never mind. :-)

That's the primary intent, since it's unclear when we might be recognized as a chapter.
(There could be, I suppose, circumstances in which a chapter might need to use a non-Wikimedia logo -- it really depends on how the phrase "related activities" in the chapter agreement is interpreted -- but that's a theoretical subtlety that may be of limited practical applicability.)

Should we become an official Wikimedia chapter, we can use the Wikimedia logo in conjunction with the Wiki Society of DC logo. They can be used alongside each other, divided by a vertical line, for example.
Sincerely,

From a legal standpoint, yes.
From a marketing standpoint, however, we'd be needlessly weakening our own
branding. The average reader, seeing two logos shown, will assume that there are two separate organisations involved in some manner of partnership.
