Hello everyone :-)

My name is Sydney Poore, User:FloNight at WMF wikis. I live in Saint Augustine, Florida now after living in Kentucky for 25 years.

Last weekend, I attended DC GLAMcamp where we discussed how to better reach out to cultural organizations in the US. While there I heard that you all had a great library event in Atlanta fairly recently. :-) :-)

I volunteered to help cultivate contacts with GLAMs (Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) in each state. So, I would love to hear from you all about which cultural organizations and institutions are currently actively working with Wikipedia or who would be good for us to approach.

Since I live in Florida, I have a special interest in reaching out to people in the Southeastern part of the US. Would be great to hold some regional events.

I'm planning to work with the Saint Augustine 450 Commemoration, a 4 year long initiative to create legacy projects in honor of the founding of Saint Augustine, and Florida. Would welcome anyone to make a trip down to our fine city to participate in an event.

I plan to organize local events around the US Wiki Love Monuments project. I have experience taking pictures of locations on the US National Register of Historical Places (the focus of the US event) and would be glad to give advice to anyone who would like assistance setting up an event in their local areas.

Look forward to hearing about what is happening in Georgia,

Regards,
