As you may know, Wikipedia's 10th anniversary (WikiX) is coming up soon...
Jan 15th. Wikimedia Foundation is encouraging folks to organize special
events and celebrations for that occasion.
For a list of events and info, see:

Wikimedia NYC is organizing something on Jan 15th. At our last meetup in
November, Kat suggested we do something the following weekend (Jan 22). WMF
board member Phoebe Ayers will be able to join us on that date, plus perhaps
Wikimedia NYC folks and others.
Coincidentally, the National Archives (NARA) has approached us about
possibly working with us and would like at some point to get a "Wikipedian
in Residence". Let's see what our capacity is as a group to support so many
partnerships, but as a first step, they would like to host our group for a
special WikiX meetup / event.
Exact details for WikiX DC yet to be determined, but it could include a
special tour + discussions / talks. NARA will get back to us soon with some
more specific ideas, we can discuss, give feedback and try to finalize
something.

PS - anyone who wants to help with organizing meetups, WikiX, and/or other
events, that would be welcome!
