Was there a conclusion about Boulder area carpooling to Arvada? I either need a ride or can give a ride if someone will help with gas. I'm in Longmont. Thanks!

Carpool to wiknic
by Isarra Yos 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hey guys, I don't know if this would be feasible, but by any chance would anyone going to the wiknic who happens to have legal access to a vehicle be able to start a carpool in the Boulder area? I may be able to get to the wikinic without it, but this would probably be a preferable option, especially since as I understand it there may be a couple others who lack reliable/legal transportation as well. Basically a carpool would be great but I can't start it and I feel bad for asking like this but if anyone could, please? Or something. Thanks, Kim

You can read it (or, even better, improve it) at https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/December_2013/Contents/… Heather: I hope you don't mind that I referred to you by name in my writeup! If you do, let me know and I'll delete it. Let me know if you'd me to link it to your homepage! Everybody else: if you have a better photograph than the ones I've used, please upload them to the Commons in the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedians_at_the_CUMNH_2013 category -- I'll be uploading all the photos I have at our next meetup, whenever and wherever that be! cheers, Gaurav

Fwd: [Taxacom] History of the Denver Museum of Natural History
by Gaurav Vaidya 05 Jan '14

05 Jan '14

Hi everybody, If anybody's working on Denver articles, check out this new publication from the DMNS on its own history! I've never been to the DMNS, but if you think it's worth organising a trip to or to see if we could get backstage access, we could give it a shot! New article: http://www.dmns.org/media/1955224/c1-summative-historyprintrevwebred.pdf Available online at: http://www.dmns.org/science/museum-publications/ (in Annals 4) Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Museum_of_Nature_and_Science cheers, Gaurav Begin forwarded message: > From: <Frank.Krell(a)dmns.org> > Subject: [Taxacom] History of the Denver Museum of Natural History > Date: 5 January, 2014 5:46:01 AM GMT+05:30 > To: <taxacom(a)mailman.nhm.ku.edu> > > To those interested in the history of natural history museums: > > On 31 December 2013 a comprehensive history of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science has been published. Thirty-two authors have contributed to the 427 pages of the volume that contains a summative history of the whole institution from the very beginning in 1897, and detailed, comprehensive histories of Exhibits, Education, and the Research and Collections departments Zoology, Geology, Paleontology, Anthropology, Space Sciences, and Health Sciences. It is illustrated with uncountable historical photos and illustrations, many of them in color. This will be *the* reference on the Museum's history for a long time, it looks nice, and it reads pretty well (I can say that since as the Editor-in-Chief, I had to read the whole thing). The volume is number 4 of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science Annals and available for free download at http://www.dmns.org/science/museum-publications/. > It can be purchased at lulu.com, in hardbound and paperback (links given on the publications webpage).

National Western Stock Show
by Gaurav Vaidya 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hullo from India! Is anybody going for the National Western Stock Show in Denver starting in a week? It'd be particularly great to get some photographs of the longhorn cattle being driven down 17th Street on January 9, particularly since Wikipedia's one photo of this event was uploaded seven years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Western_Stock_Show I can't make it, since I don't get back to Boulder until January 11, but the details are available at http://www.denver.org/national-western-stock-show cheers, Gaurav

Wiki Loves Libraries Boulder 2013
by Gaurav Vaidya 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hey everybody, How does Saturday, November 9, sound like for a date for Wiki Loves Libraries? That gives us two weeks to get the news out, which is more time than we had for the last meetup :P. An event page is up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/November_2013 We could book a meeting room at the Boulder Public Library (1001 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder -- map available at http://goo.gl/maps/NZFbc), 1. We've never been, and we'd have a chance to talk to librarians there who might be interested in Wikipedia things, and 2. The Commons does not have a photograph of Boulder Public Library, how can this be? Both libraries close at 6pm, at which point we could walk to downtown Boulder and get dinner together maybe. Unless you want to meet for lunch at the Boulder Farmers' Market (http://www.boulderfarmers.org/hourslocation.html) instead? I know that two weeks in advance is a long time to know whether you can make it or not, but I'd love to know if you definitely can't (in which case we might reschedule), or if you'd prefer us to meet further south like last time. cheers, Gaurav

I will have to sit this one out. I have a busy schedule in November (but December doesn't look much better).

Fwd: [libraries] Another idea for Wikipedia Loves Libraries
by Gaurav Vaidya 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

I like this idea! We could take some great photos of the Denver Public Library, the Boulder Public, or Norlin. Relatedly, how does everybody feel about having our next meet up on Saturday, October 26? My friend Andy might be able to make it then! Cheers, Gaurav Typed on a tiny keyboard.
