Wikimedia New England founding meeting in April?
Hi Wiki-Pilgrims, I was talking with Dominic, and how about we pull together a Wikimedia New England founding meeting sometime in April? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_New_England We could also send a bit of a delegation from Wikimedia NYC chapter, and perhaps Wikimedia DC too, to share our experiences. Also, the next WALRUS online meeting on irc will be on April 11: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WALRUS/April_2012 And of course all New Englanders are invited to join their fellow Wiki-Americans at this special event at Wikimania in DC: http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/WALRUS_Congress Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC

Re: Wikimedia New England founding meeting in April?
I've been pretty dormant for the last few months, and lord knows I've never had a great track record of attending these meetings, but I'll try hard to make it as long as it's not during the first week of April, when I'll be in California for work--t.

Re: Wikimedia New England founding meeting in April?
In the interest of getting the ball rolling, I have gone ahead and created a meetup page and selected Saturday, April 22 as our target date. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/New_England The idea here is that we haven't a well-attended event (like NYC's Wikipedia Day mini-conference) in Boston in a long time. It would be good to get as many people together as we can, and try to create momentum for the future. For example, do we want to hold a Wiknic in two months' time (from the meetup date)? What can we do to make sure New England is active in this year's US Wiki Loves Monuments campaign? And we want to raise awareness among the community about ongoing initiatives like the education program and GLAM, and about the upcoming Wikimania in DC this summer. We'll need a venue. It sounds like the kind of event where we want a conference room at a college or library, and I would suggest somewhere in Boston proper is probably better than Cambridge. I can work on this, but if anyone else has a good idea, please chime in.

Re: Wikimedia New England founding meeting in April?
The date's not set in stone. In fact, it happens to be the same
weekend as the Free Culture Summit in SF, too, but I'm not sure if
that really affects many people.
Any later, though, and I'm afraid we're getting into finals time and then summer for students (and, on a personal note, I'll be traveling); make it earlier and we're giving people that much less notice. (Also, not to seem indifferent to your situation, I imagine almost everyone else traveling from outside New England is coming from relatively nearby on the East Coast.) So, that's why I originally picked it, at least.

I have a potential conflict that weekend. Is the previous Saturday also an option?
You could post two dates on the page to see who is available when, and put the word out.
I've been telling people it is the 21st, though It's good to have a date.
It's good to have a date. Thoughts on a Boston venue: if it's nice out, we could hold it outside on the Commons...
