Hi wiki-yorkers,
The next Wiki-Workshop will be on Tuesday August 9, 7pm @ New Work
City (412 Broadway at Canal St) in Lower Manhattan.
The special focus of session this will be the Wikipedia Campus
Ambassador program (getting ready to kick off the Fall 2011 term):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ambassadors
(This will be a "getting started" session for all students, professors
and faculty interested in the Wikipedia Campus Ambassador program; but
not the full-on official Campus Ambassador training, which will be
held over two days in late August or early September.)
Please bring your questions on wiki basics and educational outreach
programs, and we'll shape the agenda to your interests.
No previous wiki-knowledge required :)

Hi wiki-friends,
I'd like to invite folks to join our four new volunteer 'Teams'
(Education, Financial, Media, and Tech), each focused on a different
broad area of Wikipedia/Wikimedia outreach in the NYC-Northeast area.
We will probably have discussion forums and a bit more structure for
each of the 'Teams' in future.
Sign up for one or two Wikimedia NYC 'Teams' today on our new chapter wiki:
http://nyc.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer
You are also encouraged to join the discussion mailing list for
'Teams' and in-depth planning (this is separate from the events
announcement mailing list):
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-nyc-discuss
Let me know if you have any questions about the volunteering, the
'Teams', or related issues, I'll be glad to help catch you up :)
Thanks,
Richard

Hi wiki-newbies and wiki-oldies, and free culture friends too,
Bring a friend this weekend!
The NYC "Wiknic" is a Wiki-Picnic to be celebrated in Central Park on
this Saturday June 25, 2011, as part of the 'Great American Wiknic'
celebrations being held across the USA.
The picnicking area will be "Norman's Landscape" just inside the park
at Central Park West between 86th & 90th, going from 1 PM - 8 PM. It
is best to come into the park at the W 86th entrance.
Remember it's a wiki-picnic, which means potluck :)

Hi wiki-friends and wiki-newbies alike,
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is Saturday May 21, 2011 at Symposium
Greek Restaurant @ 544 W 113th St (in the back room), on the Upper
West Side in the Columbia University area., starting at 6 PM.
This month we will be joined by a number of awesome out-of-towner wiki
folk attending the GLAMcamp NYC conference that weekend (see more
below!)
See details here for the May 21 meetup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC
****And, that's not all!****
GLAMcamp, devoted of course to *Galleries, *Libraries, *Archives &
*Museums and their growing place in the wiki-verse, is starting off
with a bang the day before the meetup with a May 20 Friday morning
free workshop at the New York Public Library Science, Industry and
Business Library, starting at 9 AM.
This is open to all professionals and students in the cultural sector
(galleries, libraries, etc), and also to everyone from academia.
This two hour workshop is designed for those interested in learning
more about how their community can collaborate with the Wikimedia
projects - notably Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
Sign up here, and tell your colleagues:

And remember the #GLAMWIKI hashtag too :)
Thanks,
