Yes, that would help.

I usually try to put notice on the list 2 weeks ahead of time, because it tends to take about that long before details of an event are relatively firmed up. But perhaps we should try for more longer-term planning- would that help more people to be able to attend?
I think Marc is also going to look into our inclusion on some google calendars of related events.

I believe if we knew at the beginning of each month what the activates
were
it would help us plan and adhere to schedule better. Further, receiving
the
schedule each month at the same time, such as Dec.1 or Jan. 1 would also help.

We need to try to set up a general calendar of some sort for related NYC activities to try to avoid conflicts like this, but there will be increasingly be so much going that it will be sometimes unavoidable.
Ideas?

Richard:
I am so sorry that I can not attend the meeting today. I have been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about Wikimedia NYC. Unfortunately
my
first invite comes on the last day of WordCamp NYC. I would have
skipped
this last day for Wikimedia, except Matt Mullenweg the founder of WordPress, is the closing speaker. I hope to attend the next meeting of
Wikimedia
NYC.
Thank you, Velma McKenzie-Orr

Come one, come all!
Our next meeting for Wikimedia NYC is Sunday November 15 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 ongoing 'Wikipedia at the Library' classes in planning for the Wireless Harlem nonprofit (Spanish-speaking volunteers could help here!) and at the Brooklyn Public Library.
Other topics will include the particular problems posed by Wikipedia articles about racist and anti-semitic people and movements such as the article 'Controversies related to prevalence of Jews in
leadership
roles in Hollywood', 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 either the Chinese restaurant Columbia Cottage, or the Kosher Moroccan restaurant Cafe Nana (help us decide!).

You can officially 'sign up' at that page, and please add your ideas to the agenda!
