Hi Wiki-Americans,

Our next monthly Wikimedia US / WALRUS meeting will be this Wednesday August 14, at 9pm Eastern Time / 6pm Pacific Time.

One agenda item of note is the Wiki Loves Monuments / Wikipedia Takes America photography contest(s), set to take place in September.

The venue will be the #wikimedia-us channel on IRC, and if you're not familiar with IRC, please just use this easy web client:

This is a venue for all Wiki-Americans to share our many diverse experiences in local outreach and coordination, so please add your ideas to the agenda:
