2010/11/19 Alex Stinson <stinsoad(a)dukes.jmu.edu> Thank you Katie, and I really regret not being able to be at the meeting, Definitely understand that you are in school and can't be there (especially on a weeknight!) We will try to do something while you are in DC for the holidays (around New Years), though it sounds like Dec 18th is better for some people and Jan 2 works for other folks. Would like to find a way to include everyone... not sure how. Also keep in mind we are now talking about doing something for Wikipedia's 10th birthday, the following weekend ~Jan 22. (I know Alex can't make it :( but hope we get many people ) -Katie (@aude) Alex > User:Sadads > > 2010/11/19 aude <aude.wiki(a)gmail.com>> Notes are posted for DC Meetup #13 on Wednesday: >> >> http://bit.ly/dc13notes (sorry, they are lengthy, we have lots going >> on!) >> >> In summary, we talked about: >> >> 1) Social media outreach for the fundraiser, and beyond that for when we >> reach the fundraising target. Let's use social media and outreach to engage >> with people and encourage more contributions (e.g. edits). Swatjester will >> follow-up with more info on this. >> >> 2) Public policy initiative - how's it going, what's up for the Spring >> semester? >> >> 3) Smithsonian collaboration - it's continuing, working with Smithsonian >> American Art Museum on article collaboration, strong possibility for us to >> work with Archives of American Art, we have more contacts elsewhere w/in the >> Smithsonian and can connect people >> >> 4) Holocaust museum wants to work with Wikipedia, perhaps bring in an >> intern to work on Wikipedia >> >> 5) National Archives is another important collaboration possibility, via >> the FedFlix project and has lots of potential, with people high up in NARA >> supporting FedFlix and have approached us to see how they can engage with us >> more directly in cool ways >> >> 6) User:Econterms and a colleague from the Bureau of Labor Statistics >> talked about how they might contribute data to Wikipedia, as "Economy of >> Virginia" or such state infoboxes. >> >> 7) Wikipedia's 10th birthday is coming up in January. We are talking >> about doing something special to celebrate, perhaps the following weekend! >> >> 8) Talked about next meetups and future events >> >> 9) Talked briefly about Wikimedia DC chapter stuff, trying to gauge where >> consensus is (towards having a local group, but find ways to coordinate >> regionally and nationally where it makes sense, maybe a loose structure such >> as US Chapters Council) >> >> 10) Ed Summers (user:edsu) was at the meetup, he works at the Library of >> Congress, created the linkypedia tool (http://linkypedia.inkdroid.org/), >> etc. He (we agree) suggests the DC area might be ripe for holding a >> GLAM-Wiki type symposium to bring folks together. He also says he's willing >> to host us for meetups! >> >> 11) We also have contacts in Baltimore, with historic preservation folks, >> who are interested in doing a Wikipedia Takes Baltimore event (photographing >> historic sites) >> >> Wow, that's a lot... that's why I think more regular meetups are a good >> idea. We might not be able to do all these things but if we get enough >> people involved, we can do a lot and much as possible. >> >> Cheers, >> Katie (@aude) >> >> >> -- >> Katie Filbert >> filbertk(a)gmail.com >> @filbertkm >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Wikimedia-DC mailing list >> Wikimedia-DC(a)lists.wikimedia.org >> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-dc >> >> _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-DC mailing list > Wikimedia-DC(a)lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-dc _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-DC mailing list Wikimedia-DC(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-dc
