Hi folks,
"Wikipedia Day NYC" will be held on Sunday January 24, 2010 (date awaiting final confirmation) at New York University
The event is in commemoration of Wikipedia Day and the 9th anniversary (!) of the founding of the site.
We are especially happy to welcome newcomers and the interested public to the "Wikipedia world" with this event!
We will include several sessions specifically for newcomers, such as "Welcome to Wikipedia: A tutorial for newcomers" and "Wikipedia and Your Project: Educational and content partnerships", and people at all levels of wiki-experience and coming from all fields are very welcome to join us.
Read all about it, and please sign up for a lightning talk or open space:
