Dear WikiYorkers,
The Wikimedia NYC Board invites its members to [edit] the future of the
chapter by joining one of its five organizing committees! Each committee
will meet in person a few times a year, and hold regularly scheduled
conversations via the Wikimedia NYC Slack channel. The board member
chairing the committee will then be charged with communicating your
activities and needs to the Board at its monthly meeting.
To volunteer, first review the committee descriptions at

and then complete the form at http://bit.ly/WikiVolunteers. And, of course,
don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the
committee structure or responsibilities. We look forward to working with
you in the new year!
Best,

Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York
hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn
hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics,
practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an
opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more
robust account of history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/2017-07_Action=History
For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and
develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of
different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community.
Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local
groups.
Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel
Date: Sunday July 30
Time: 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Location: Ace Hotel New York. 20 West 29th Street, Manhattan.
RSVP: on Meetup.com or on Wikipedia
http://www.meetup.com/WikimediaNYC/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/2017-07_Action=History
