Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community on August 17 for our
monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing
workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan.
Featuring special guest presentations on 'WikiVerse' and 'Bringing
Wikipedia to the Last Mile'.
We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter,
and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new
participants.
We welcome 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 (UN Women!) and upcoming
edit-a-thons, and other outreach activities.
After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video
games in the gallery!
