My fellow Wiki-Americans,

We are entering Great American Wiknic season!


This year, we are encouraging usergroups and other informal groups to participate in the Wikimedia movement's Strategy Salon process, and Wikimedia NYC has microgrants of up to $250 available for four locations in the US, following this model:


To participate, please fill out the form here in the next week:

We we will reimburse your expenses upon approval of your application and getting documentation in receipts.

To have a Strategy Wiknic, you must select one or two of the "scoping questions" from the Working Groups and have a plan to document the results of your discussion:


You can see the NYC Wiknic scoping questions, as an example, here:


Feel free to ask any questions about this process, and share with your friends!

Thanks,
Richard
