[Wikimediaus-l] The Great American Wiknic

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.
