(CCing PA and NY Wikimedians; please come!)
As you are hopefully aware by now, since it is in the geonotice and I have
spammed talk pages, this Saturday, the National Archives will be hosting us
for a backstage pass tour and editathon. We have lots of space, and we could
have up to 40 people! So far, only 2 people have signed up as sure yeses,
which is a bit sad. :-( If you can possibly come, please do! Don't feel like
you need to come for the whole day if you can't/don't want to. If you are
afraid you may have trouble getting to College Park without a car, we can
make arrangements to make sure you get here, too.
There's a bit of a conflict here. When you say "If you are afraid you may
have trouble getting to College Park without a car, we can make arrangements
to make sure you get here, too," it looks as if there is no public
transportation to the place and you're thinking "carpool." But in that
case,
I'd be tied to the schedule of whoever is operating the car I'd be riding
in, and my schedule would be a lot more rigidly constrained than is implied
by "Don't feel like you need to come for the whole day if you
can't/don't
want to." So, unless there is a regular public bus (or train), operated by
Metro or The Bus, I would have to beg off.
The National Archives has a shuttle bus that operates regularly (each hour)
between the Prince George's Plaza metro station and their College Park
facility.
I think it can also be arranged to pick up / drop off people at the metro
station.
Cheers,
Katie
