Meeting this Weekend! - Sunday November 16 at Columbia University
by Pharos 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

It's less than a week away, folks. Come one, come all! Our next meeting for Wikimedia NYC is this Sunday November 16 at Columbia University. This is a meeting for volunteers to the projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, and everyone else too, who has ever looked at Wikipedia and wondered what's going on behind it. One big topic of discussion, out of many, will be a look back at our October 'Wikis Take Manhattan' event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Manhattan See the cool video here: http://www.streetfilms.org/archives/wikis-take-manhattan/ The agenda will also include the formation of the Wikimedia New York City chapter. And our new project with the Brooklyn Museum and possibly the Met Museum as well, scheduled for February: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Art As well as discussion of issues important to the Wikipedia and Wikimedia community, including an adminship discussion, and a GFDL 1.3 discussion with guests from the Software Freedom Law Center and Creative Commons. We welcome all guests. If you support open education and free culture, we are your people. If you have a project you want to work on with us, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted. If you want someone to give a talk or teach a class with an inside view of Wikipedia, meet your volunteers. And if you just have any questions, we'd be glad to try to answer them. Remember, the agenda here is up to you! I encourage anyone who is interested to sign up to give a presentation or suggest a topic for general discussion at our wikimeetup page (given below). ---Meeting details--- 2:30 PM - 5:00PM: Room 1402 Pupin Hall, Columbia University. Take the elevator to the 13th floor and then walk up one flight of stairs. Meeting to be held in the library at the east end of the hall. 5:00 PM onwards: Meetup at Pupin Hall, and then walk together to The Symposium, a local Greek restaurant with an oddly appropriate name.. Page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC You can officially 'sign up' at that page, and please add your ideas to the agenda! Thanks, Pharos

Wikis Take Manhattan uploading party tonight
by Pharos 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

We're having an uploading party at TOPP at 7:30 PM tonight for anyone who still has Wikis Take Manhattan photos on hand (we've still only got about half of the photos online as of yet). So, bring your laptops (if you have) and your files, and be ready to tag! The event will be mostly Free Culture Columbia students; who are canceling their regular meeting tonight to come downtown for the uploading fun; there will be pizza and everything also, like at Wikis Take Manhattan. TOPP is located at 349 West 12th Street, Floor 3. Sorry, folks, for the late notice on this (we just confirmed it last night). Thanks, Pharos
