by Pharos 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

My fellow Wiki-Americans, Just a reminder that the Great American Wiknic is almost upon us, coming up on the weekend after this (Saturday June 25). Now with over a dozen confirmed cities, from Boston to St Louis! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic And we'll have extra publicity coming on tomorrow, so make sure you're Wiknic-ready :) Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC

The Great American Wiknic
by Pharos 15 May '11

15 May '11

HI fellow USians, I'd like to propose The Great American Wiknic, a Wiki-Picnic to be held in cities across the United States on the same day (maybe Saturday June 18?) in Summer 2011. I think this could be a great way of building up some of the grassroots activist energy we'll need to really cement Wikipedia/Wikimedia as a strong on-the-ground movement throughout the varied regions of the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic PS Welcome to everyone who's a member of or interested in the 'Wikimedians Active in Local Regions of the United States' (WALRUS) committee: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_United_States_Chapters_Council#WAL… Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC

Please join Oct 23 DC Meetup & Hack-A-Ton DC
by aude 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

If you are in DC or need an excuse to come visit Washington DC, please join us for the next DC Wikimedia meetup on October 23, 6pm at Bertucci's in Foggy Bottom. (21st & I St / Penn Ave NW) The date/time are all definite! Come and discuss about collaboration activities with the Smithsonian, hang out with other Wikipedians and "geek out". :) For more details and to RSVP, see the meetup page: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC_12 The meetup coincides with the MediaWiki Hack-A-Ton DC (err... it will be out in Tysons Corner, but there will be car pools & probably a shuttle between the metro and the venue) that is taking place that weekend, thus we will have developers, Wikimedia CTO Danese Cooper and other Wikimedia staff joining us! If you feel like fixing some MediaWiki bugs, feel free to also join the Hack-A-Ton: * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hack-A-Ton_DC Cheers, Katie (user:aude)

Hey, I'm all for Wiki-Conferences in NYC, San Francisco, Boston, and Chattanooga! If anyone wants planning assistance with an event of this kind anywhere in the country, I'd be glad to help and to share the NYC experience.

The Wikiconference in New York was lovely -- thanks to Pharos and the WM-NYC team for pulling it off for a second year. The tone was so friendly and productive that I expect we could expand the scope of such events to include more non-wikipedians, readers and professors and others. Is there any interest in making something like this happen as part of Recent Changes Camp next spring? (It will be held in Boston; we are finalizing the venue now). SJ

Hi Wikimedia USAians, Our 2nd annual Wiki-Conference NYC will be held over the weekend of August 28-29 2010, hosted by ITP at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and also supported by Free Culture @ NYU and Wikimedia New York City. There's still plenty of time to join a panel, or to propose a lightning talk or an open space session. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wiki-Conference Register for the Wiki-Conference here: http://bit.ly/wikinyc An opportunity to discuss US chapters stuff? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_United_States_Chapters_Council Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia New York City http://nyc.wikimedia.org

Re: [Wikimediaus-l] Is this list still useful?

FWIW: This was the first message I remember receiving from this mailing list in a very long time. (Perhaps that was the point?) It was a digest with 12 messages going back to 2008. I would imagine that a Wikimedia page (and/or talk page) could serve the same (centralized) function. ----- Original Message ---- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2010 23:17:16 -0400 From: Tim McCormack <cortex(a)brainonfire.net> Subject: [Wikimediaus-l] Is this list still useful? To: Wikimedia US <wikimediaus-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <4C144DBC.9030208(a)brainonfire.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I haven't seen any new messages on this list for a very long time; all I get at the owner address is copious spam. I think the list should probably be mothballed. If not, I'd be interested in giving up ownership. - Tim McCormack ------------------------------*****
