*Dear New York City Wikimedians and Free Culture Supporters, *
It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to join us at the next *Wikimedia
NYC <http://nyc.wikimedia.org/wiki/Home> Skillshare/Meetup* on *December
4th, 2014* from *6:30-8pm *at Babycastles, a co-working space and gallery
in a great location, at *137 W. 14th St. *in Manhattan, just off Union
Square. (We have the space 6-8pm if you want to come early).
Afterwards, we will walk to a social wiki-dinner together somewhere TBA
nearby.
*The agenda for the Meetup includes:*
- *Local Wikipedia free culture projects and announcements *
- *Past, present, and future institutional partnerships with Wikipedia*
- *Recent image donations to Wikipedia*
- *WikiConference USA reporting and lessons learned*
- *Chapter planning and chapter roles*
- *WMNYC financial reporting*
- *Edit-a-thons past, present, future + metrics*
- *Spring 2015 Education Program classes*
- *Art+Feminism Campaign (March, 2014 )*
We will plan to reserve at least 30 minutes during the meetup for a
*Skillshare*, open to *anyone* who wants to present on a project or idea,
or start a roundtable discussion to share their ideas with the rest of the
group. For example- I'd love to see someone present on WikiData and
WikiData projects if anyone has knowledge on that subject!
Please RSVP on the Wikipedia page here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/December_2014 and let me
know if you have any more questions or agenda items to add, leading up to
the meeting. I’ve attached a few pictures of the space for your reference.
It has fast wi-fi, at least 50 chairs for all of us, and should be quite
comfortable.
I look forward to seeing all of you very soon.
Best wishes,
*Dorothy Howard *

Hi All,
I propose that we schedule a Wikimedia NYC Skillshare and Christmas party
at the Jefferson Market Library and/or somewhere with good Wifi, in the
coming weeks to get together as a group and also to discuss outstanding
Chapter engagements and big picture stuff. Do we have funds to spend on a
room, like we did last time, or does anyone have other ideas of venues with
good wifi that can host?
The meeting agenda could be as follows:
1. Introductions - What Wikipedia/Wikimedia projects have you been working
on or are interested in?
2. Skill Share and demos - does anyone have any projects they want to
present?
3. Big picture items - what do we want out of the chapter and our
relationship with other Wikimedia groups, how do we communicate with each
other, do we want more social events, more edit-a-thons, how can we assist
other Wikipedia projects going on in local GLAMs/the community..
4. Outstanding chapter engagements - where are we on WikiConference USA2014
wrap-up / lessons learned
5. Future chapter engagements/ future WikiConferences
6. Wrap-up and other announcements/break-out groups
Then afterwards, we could plan to go out to a meal together nearby.
I'm thinking sometime in late November, or early December.
What do you all think?
Yours,
Dorothy Howard
