Dear James,
Welcome to the list, and the Boston Wikimedians group! Seconding what Laura
said, the next BIG thing that we have in the area will be WikiConference
North America, at MIT:
http://wikiconference.org
It's a chance to meet Wikipedians from all over the country! Registration
is now open, and please do register if you intend to attend so we have an
accurate headcount. I hope you and everyone else on the list will be able
to attend.
Thanks everyone!
Phoebe

Hi James,
Wikipedia edit-a-thons are something that I look forward to myself: I
think that's why I like to host them! And it's definitely a great way to
edit quietly with others or to edit more socially with others. The way the
events facilitate different working styles is something I like about
edit-a-thons.
I suspect that an edit-a-thon will be offered as part of WikiConference
North America:
https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2019/Main_Page
But there will probably be something on a smaller scale at some point
soon, too. I would like to do some editing too.
Come and join us!!
Laura

Hello,
I just now subscribed to the Wikimedia-Boston list because, even
though I have been editing Wikipedia for nearly 14 years and have lived in
the Greater Boston area my entire life, I’ve never attempted to meet other
Wikipedians in person because it never occurred to me that Wikipedians did
so until today. I always just assumed that editors were people who edited
the site in their spare time but never actually interacted with one another
beyond their interactions on talk pages, and that the people who edited the
site as much as I do were just lonely, depressed, and socially isolated
losers like myself. But my loneliness, depression, and social isolation
have become much more acute over the last year, so I'm curious, when is the
next meeting? I really hope it’s soon.
Sincerely,
James Austin Hill (User:CommonKnowledgeCreator)
