Hi Adam, 

I wasn't aware of the plans for an October or November meeting, but let's set those wheels in motion!

I'll look into venue and dates. At this time, are there any dates that i should NOT schedule a meeting? I will try my best not to schedule anything for Monday or any other observed holidays so that everyone that wants to attend can be present. 

Thanks, 

Dorothy

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.

Subject: [Wikimedia-US-NYC-Discuss] Wikimedia NYC Board and/or Chapter meeting

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
