Hi Georgiapedians,
There are some opportunities coming up for local usergroups, both online and offline, one is participating in the WMF Board election:
And the offline opportunity is Wikimania in August, for which you can get a grant to hold a local wiki-picnic or other event.
Our USA online call is Monday at 9pm Eastern, and might be a good way to catch up with the continental community on all sorts of issues:
Thanks,
Richard
