Meeting on the 26th of this month sounds like a great plan. I haven't gotten much together for the next Wikipedia Loves Libraries, so it would good to regroup soon and see what we might come up with.
It looks like next week should see the temperature in Boulder float back up in the 50s and even the 60s. I propose we ignore Wiki Loves Libraries and go outdoors somewhere before winter comes. Maybe just downtown Boulder, ending for dinner somewhere on Pearl? Does anybody have other suggestions? Bonus marks for incorporating libraries, and car rides to places far from public transport will be repaid with dinner!
On another note, someone decided to nominate my picture of the Cannabis Station sign for deletion, claiming it is a derivative work. I don't see how that picture is different from any other picture of store signs to be found on Commons. Please voice your support: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Cannabis_S...
Ugh :-( I agree with Isarra that I don't think it's original enough to have a copyright, although I suppose you could argue that it's a very tall, weird statue, in which case it _would_ be protected against derivative works. Worst case, I have a photo of the same sign from further away [1], so we could definitely get that one in under de minimus [2], but I don't think it'll come to that.
cheers, Gaurav
