In one of the previous conference calls, we had suggested having a Board Meeting in late October then a general chapter meeting in early November.
Somehow we never put anything together.

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
