I'd highly encourage everyone attending to submit a talk proposal of some
kind - if you are reading this, there is very likely a corner of Wikipedia
of which you are the secret expert!
Hope to see you there!

Calling all interested university educators and participants for the
Wikipedia Education Program in the NYC area during the Fall 2015
semester!
Together, these programs help students to learn about important and
undercovered topics while simultaneously sharing their knowledge in
writing Wikipedia articles and improving a common public resource.
New this year, we are offering specialized thematic programs with
additional in-person support from Wikipedians working with partner
institutions in these areas: (1) Public health / medicine, (2) the
African diaspora and (3) the Guggenheim Museum collections and
exhibitions, as well as their Women in Architecture edit-a-thon on Oct
15.
Please share with colleagues and friends at NYC area universities, and
feel free to ask questions in the 'Other thoughts from you' box!
