Hello NC Wiki* friends!
We're just a week away from the end of the Wiki Pix campaign and it seems
to be going really well! There are 345 photos uploaded so far, which you
can see here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uploaded_via_Campaign:WikiPixNC>.
I'm loving the photos from the Chinese lantern festival in Cary and this albino
alligator from the Fort Fisher Aquarium

.
If you've been meaning to upload a photo but haven't yet, you've got until
next Wednesday, June 22.
Let's plan to discuss the campaign at our next meeting... which we still
need to schedule. I know folks may have summer travel plans. If you'd like
to attend our next meeting, *send me a quick note and let me know which of
the following Thursday evenings would be possible for you:*
- June 30
- July 7
- July 14
- July 21
I also wanted to make sure folks had seen the message copied below from
Ziski about joining a conversation hour with the Global Advocacy and Public
Policy team on July 1. Please feel free to attend if you're interested!

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
