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.
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:
