We would invite people to one or two representatives from each usergroup to
share on the national livestream in the first hour, and you can optionally
host a Zoom or similar meeting for your region in the second hour.
Thanks,

I wanted to share the basic plan for Sunday, which is a national Wiknic
broadcast on Youtube etc at 3pm Eastern, regional community breakouts on
Zoom and other platforms at 4pm Eastern (where chapters and
usergroups might be interested in hosting them), and perhaps an optional
global text chat at the end of that:

Hi Wiki-Americans,
I've added some ideas for the virtual Wiknic here, for Sunday August 16::
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic
*Community history of the Great American Wiknic
*A cultural exploration of picnics, knowledge and society
*Food and cooking demonstrations, share your own local specialties
*Introduction to regional Wikimedia chapters and usergroups
*Breakout sessions for different regions and cities
*Call in from from a local park or natural site and share it on the video
stream
*Pub-style quiz
And here is the proposal for the centralnotice banner, if you'd like to
chime in there:
