Hi Wiki Yorkers,
You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our next evening
"WikiWednesday" salon and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery
by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan.
This month will also feature on our agenda: recent and upcoming editathons,
the organization's Annual Meeting, and Chapter board elections.
We also hope for the participation of our friends from the Free Culture
movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in
developing free knowledge projects. We will also follow up on plans for
recent and upcoming editathons, and other outreach activities.
After the main meeting, pizza and refreshments and video games in the
gallery!
