I joined Wikipedia but am unsure how to get involved. You appear to have a handle on this. Regards, Gary Gerstenfield.

> A reminder: This Sunday is the wikimeetup at Columbia University. A pleasant and informative session as usual. I'm not online now and can't reach Wikipedia but the New York City Astronomy Seminars got kicked out of the basement of West 22nd Street Lutheran Church this month (someone else wanted the hall) and found a new home for twice monthly meetings at the ground floor conference room McBurney YMCA, across West 14th from Salvation Army's New York Citadel. The fellow who made the arrangements is John Pazmino, john.pazmino(a)ferc.gov who I am confident will be eager to tell you about it, if we need a meeting place. ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210

Wikimedia NYC Meeting Sunday March 21
by Pharos 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Come one, come all! Our next meeting for Wikimedia NYC is Sunday March 21 at Columbia University. This is a meeting for volunteers to the projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, and everyone else too, who has ever looked at Wikipedia and wondered what's going on behind it. One big topic of discussion, out of many, will be preparing for our bid to host the international Wikimania 2011 conference. Other topics will include the particular problems posed by Wikipedia articles of such varying degrees of eclectic scientific controversy as "climate change, alternative medicine, UFOs and Transcendental Meditation", and discussing other issues relevant to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. We welcome all guests. If you support open education and free culture, we are your people. If you have a project you want to work on with us, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted. If you want someone to give a talk or teach a class with an inside view of Wikipedia, meet your volunteers. And if you just have any questions, we'd be glad to try to answer them. Remember, the agenda here is up to you! I encourage anyone who is interested to sign up to give a presentation or suggest a topic for general discussion at our wikimeetup page (given below). ---Meeting details--- 2:30 PM - 5:00PM: Room 1402 Pupin Hall, Columbia University. Take the elevator to the 13th floor and then walk up one flight of stairs. Meeting to be held in the library at the east end of the hall. 5:00 PM onwards: Meetup at Pupin Hall, and then walk together to a local neighborhood restaurant (help us decide!). After dinner, we can return to Pupin Hall for an observing session with the telescopes on the roof, weather permitting. Page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC You can officially 'sign up' at that page, and please add your ideas to the agenda! Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_New_York_City

Richard, It was great to see you at the recent dotNeighborhoods meeting. I'll be sending along a draft report on the meeting shortly. At the meeting's conclusion we briefly talked about using the lessons of Wikimedia as part of the .nyc TLD's development. I look forward to discussing that further. Best, Tom Lowenhaupt

I'm guessing the question pertains to the NYC chapter in particular rather than Wikimedia in general. ~ Eli, [[User:Elipongo]] ------Original Message------ From: Jon Liechty Sender: wikimedia_nyc-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org To: New York City Wikimedians ReplyTo: frenezulo(a)yahoo.com ReplyTo: New York City Wikimedians Subject: Re: [Wikimedia NYC] mailing address Sent: Dec 20, 2009 18:25 Check this link for a mailing address: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Ways_to_Give/en#Via_regular_mail Jon Liechty http://jon-liechty.com --- On Sun, 12/20/09, raccoon1(a)sutv.com <raccoon1(a)sutv.com> wrote: > From: raccoon1(a)sutv.com <raccoon1(a)sutv.com> > Subject: [Wikimedia NYC] mailing address > To: wikimedia_nyc(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Date: Sunday, December 20, 2009, 5:46 PM > Is there a mailing address to which I > may send a donation?

2009 A Tough Year For All of us
by Ed Pinnella 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Ladies and Gentlemen, With 2009 coming to an end I am aware of the call for donations to Wikimedia from the general public. As a regular user of various WIKI sites I wish I could help. Nonetheless, 2010 comes as a year with goals and new opportunities for those who make the choice; I am one of them. While I am unable to help at this time I am willing to make Wikimedia and PBS my first priority. In 2010 your organization and the NY Chapter are welcome to periodically contact me by e-mail soliciting donations. I look forward to better days to come for all of us. This includes returning to New York and calling it home again. Sincerely, Ed Pinnella
