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 ...
