Hey All,
In association with the United States Public Policy initiative, the
Wikimedia foundation is hosting dinner and a meetup with Wikimedia
foundation outreach staff, local participants and DC Wikimedians. They are
offering dinner at 6:30 for up to 15 local Wikimedians on a first come first
serve basis and a 8:30 Meetup and after dinner discussion on August 11. I
know that is very soon, but I hope many of you can make it. More information

In other news, the Smithsonian Collaboration has kicked off with great
success, we are planning a workshop on August 19th and will soon start
scheduling a second workshop. Also, Boston and New York area Wikipedians
have begun communication with Smithsonian organizations in both regions, for
collaboration there as well. If you are interested in helping, sign up at

Thanks much,
Alex Stinson
