Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that today I published a blog post for the
National Archives about the Wikimedia DC annual meeting, which NARA hosted
back in November in our Innovation Hub. I was hoping to both convey our
excitement at the chance to host the event, as well as to give some insight
to our mostly non-Wikimedian audience what it was about and why we
participated. You can read the post here:
http://blogs.archives.gov/innovation/?p=129
Looking forward to many more NARA–Wikimedia DC collaborations!
Thanks!
Dominic
