For additional context regarding Nathan Schneider, some excerpts from a
Wikipedia-related research publication of his (I understand he may also
have done some more recent work that might be of specific interest to
Wikimedians):

(e.g. "The feudal pattern has by and large been written into the default
behaviors of online-community platforms. Exceptions like Wikipedia and
Debian have required considerable, intentional effort to counteract the
implicit feudalism of their tools’ defaults.")

Hi everyone!
April's meetup was a lot of fun! Despite having to chase my toddler around
I learned a lot about the Wiki chess community, we got a report from the
AIxWikipedia hackathon, updates on automating Wikidata data entry and so
many things about wasps and the local insects ecosystem.
Next one: *May 16, 6.30-8.30pm*
<https://bookwhen.com/sequoiafabrica/e/ev-sr2l-20240516183000> (please
RSVP if you can, it helps with logistics), 1736 18th street! Thursday
nights seem to work well. We'll have snacks, pizza and warm drinks. We had
a speaker in mind but she cannot make it after all, so I'm hoping someone
from the community will want to give a lightning talk - or we'll get more
time to work on our things.
On Saturday June 8, Nathan Schneider
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Schneider> is coming for a talk
about his new book on online governance at the Internet Archive. Some of
you have expressed interest in meeting him (he's researched Wikipedia
governance as part of his work on cooperative governance). He's suggested
meeting earlier that day, if there's interest, or to attend the book talk.
Let us know!
Emeline and Elan
