The next Wikimedia NYC Meetup will be held on Sunday December 15, 2013 at
New York Law School in Lower Manhattan, located by the Franklin Street stop
on the 1 train.
We'll meet in the lobby of the NYLS building at *185 West Broadway* at 1pm,
check in with the law school (please bring your IDs!), and then gather for
the Wikimedia NYC meeting in one of the conference rooms.
We will have two special guests this meeting, from Wikimedia Deutschland's
"Chapters Dialogue" World Tour! The German chapter is the largest and most
successful in the Wikimedia-verse.
Discussion will also include projects with education, museums, libraries,
and planning WikiConference USA, and in general supporting Wikipedia
outreach in the wider metropolitan area.
And after the official meeting, we'll likely walk to a dinner together at a
neighborhood joint.
