Hey NC Wikipedians! Last night's meeting was a fun one -- we got to connect remotely to a biergarden hangout with members of the NYC chapter. Mark your calendars: Our next meeting will take place on *Thursday, August 25, at 7pm.* This will also be a fun one: We'll use it as a working session to review the photos that were submitted during WikiPixNC and take care of some other event follow-ups (including sending user page messages to photo submitters). If you love editing with groups of people, this one's for you! Zoom link to come. Emily

Meeting this Thursday AND Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election
by E.S. Jack 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

Dear NC Wiki friends, First, this is your reminder that we'll meet this Thursday at 7pm at this Zoom link: https://unc.zoom.us/j/91409562683 Before then, in the next few days, I'm supposed to cast a vote on behalf of our user group for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, which is bringing on two new members. You can read about the *2022 Board of Trustees candidates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…> *here. The candidates have also responded to a set of questions here <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/affiliate-questions-selected-for-the-…>. Please send me any input, endorsements, or concerns about any of the candidates *by Wednesday (6/14) at 7pm*. (On- or off-list, whichever your preference) My deadline for casting a vote is Thursday, 6/15, at 8pm. (So I will be voting before our Thursday meeting.) The election uses a ranked-choice system called single transferable vote <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Single_Trans…>. Affiliate representatives (that's me, voting on behalf of our user group) will vote to select 6 of the 12 candidates to continue on to the Board of Trustees Community Voting period, during which we'll each have an opportunity to vote as individuals. The community voting period will take place from Aug. 15 to 19. For more information, please visit the *2022 Board of Trustees page on Meta-wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…>* . Thanks, Emily

Wiki Pix check-in
by E.S. Jack 08 Jul '22

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: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uploaded_via_Campaign:WikiPixNC 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
