Hey NC Wikipedia friends!
We're ten days into the photo campaign and it seems like it's going well!
There are 200 photos uploaded, from all over the state, and there are a lot
of great ones! You can see them all here:

There's a local photography group meeting tonight and I think they're going
to mention the campaign at their meeting. I also submitted PSAs to four
college radio stations (WNCU, WXYC, WXDU, and WKNC) and sent a message to
the historic sites directors for the eastern and western parts of the
state. But honestly, I think the banner is doing a lot of work, so thanks
again to Richard for making that happen!
I'm inclined to schedule our next meeting as a wrap-up, sometime after June
22 when the campaign ends, unless anyone thinks we should meet before then.
OR unless anyone is feeling motivated to work on a grant for a Wikimania
meet-up... but I just realized those grant applications
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2022/Scholarships> are due on
Friday. If anyone wants to discuss, email is probably the best way to go...
and soon!
Cheers,
Emily
Hey former Triangle Wikipedians,
I'm Ziski from the Global Advocacy & Public Policy team. I wanted to personally invite you to our first-ever monthly conversation hours. The call is on July 1 at 16h EST. All information you need to participate is on this Meta page [1].
The agenda is split between a dedicated theme for the month and whatever items you wish to cover. This month we will share some of our work on disinformation. There is no set agenda for the second half of the call - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad [2]. Come and talk to us! Ask us anything, or tell us anything, related to public policy and advocacy initiatives for free knowledge online. For example:
* You want to learn more about our team and our current initiatives
* You would like to share a policy development or advocacy campaign idea and would like to get feedback or support
* You have questions about a specific WMF policy priority or development
Hope to see you there... or at the next one!
Ziski, on behalf of the Global Advocacy team
