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.

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

Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! 

Thanks,

Richard
