A friend of mine in NY pointed me at the
ten.wikipedia.org event going
on later this month to celebrate Wikipedia's 10th Birthday, and
specifically the DC event [1].
Did this come up at the meeting on Sunday?
Yes, we discussed it
Also, we are thinking about doing a GLAM Wiki DC conference in the
late spring or summer (may or june) to focus on how libraries,
museums, etc can collaborate with wikipedia. There were similar events
in London and Paris a month ago.

Unfortunately I wasn't able
to make it. I did sign up to do a lightning talk though.
Excellent! :)
It would be
great to get the word out about this event, I see that Kat got it
added to the DC-TechEvents [2] calendar, which is good. I wonder if
there's any way we can spread the word a bit more?
Please help spread the word. Now the holidays are over, it's a good
time to tweet, post on facebook, etc.
We will do our usual "spam" on wikipedia user talk pages maybe later
today
We will also have site-wide notices on wikipedia shortly once we take
down Jimmy's thank you banner
