I'm really enjoying listening to the audio from the recent GLAM-Wiki
in London that recently went online [1]. I think having a similar
event here in DC is a great idea, and am willing to try to help make
it happen.

Ed,

Awesome!!! Liam, Pharos (Richard from Wikimedia NYC) and myself were chatting about that and think we definitely want to organize a GLAM-Wiki event here in DC.

Maybe sometime in May or early June? We would be super happy to have your help with that. :)

Nice, that'll get it in front of a lot of people.

It looks like we might need to cap attendance at around 100. :/ I'm looking into organizing an after-event party / happy hour at some place nearby, with room for additional folks.
