This sounds great. I bet we could get some city support for making
these part of a "city awareness" day in many places.
I will be in Buenos Aires for the Iberocoop meeting, but maybe we can
have a sympathetic wicnic down south...

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.
