Come one, come all!
Our next meeting for Wikimedia NYC is Sunday March 29 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 signing incorporation papers for our Wikimedia NYC chapter.
Other topics will be a review of our recent 'Wikipedia Loves Art' events at several museums in our city, our representation at the WMF Chapters meeting (and the possibility of applying for WMF grants) and Open Everything NYC in April, classes at the New York Public Library in May, and discussing 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 The Symposium, a local Greek restaurant with an oddly appropriate name..
