New subject: Wikimedia-US-GA-ATL Digest, Vol 2, Issue 1

19 Oct 2011

Hello Ganesh,

November 19th sounds great.  The Reference floor conference room is available that day
from 2:30 pm to closing at 6:00 pm.  We wish we could give you more time, but there is a
group meeting in there beforehand.  If you want a longer session, we may be able to put
you in the General Collections conference room on 3rd floor (which also has a pretty good
reference collection and is one floor up from us).  We will arrange for a projector and
screen for you.  

Do all of you have laptops?  We have desktop computers available for you here, but none in
the actual conference rooms.

A regular Wikimedians meetup at the library sounds fantastic.  If you guys can decide on
dates when you would like to regularly meet and give us some advance notice, we can keep
the conference room and projector reserved for you on those dates.  If you want to go
ahead and schedule your next quarterly meeting before November 9th, we can announce the
event on our website and in the library's magazine and distribute flyers.  Just let us
know.  :)

Jill

Wikipedia Loves Libraries is a wiki-coordinated program of distributed
micro-conferences (editathons) to be held at libraries and archives in
cities across North America around *October 2011*.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries

The advantages of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries model:

   - Easy to organize, even at small public libraries
   - Welcoming to everyone, Wikipedians, Librarians, and all library patrons
   - It's "the living reference section"
   - Also, it's fun!

Is there any interest in meeting up for this event in the Metro Atlanta
area? We have a month to plan this event. October 22 is a tentative date.

Best regards,

Ganesh
