Hi All,
I want to share a few resources I've developed through my work with Metro.
All of this is CC0 so feel free to use and adapt as you like and let me
know if you have suggestions.
Included
1. An Edit-a-Thon (before, during, after) checklist.
2. A Wikipedia event attendance sheet.
3. A GLAM Best practices statement to be included on GLAM pages or
potentially individual pages. (Adapted from NARA's best practices
statement).

I am very pleased to announce that WikiConference USA is less than 30 days
away! Over the last few months, Wikimedia NYC and Wikimedia DC have been
collecting curated submissions on a diversity of wiki and free/open
knowledge-related topics (with tracks on Community, Tech, Outreach, GLAM,
Education), and recruited some excellent keynote speakers who can speak to
their personal activism and leadership in these domains.
But this is a "Wiki" conference, and what it thrives on most is your
participation, your differing areas of experience and expertise, to enliven
and enrich all of the sessions we have planned together. And, exciting
too, there still will be numerous opportunities for "unconference" sessions
led by participants on the fly, and we encourage you to bring the ideas
from your domain for these sessions as well.
Here are the details for the conference:
Dates: Friday, May 30, 2014 - Sunday, June 1, 2014
Location: New York Law School (185 West Broadway, New York, NY 10013)
Website: http://wikiconferenceusa.org
Email: wikicon(a)wikimedianyc.org
Registration: http://wikiconusa.eventbrite.org/
And our distinguished and dynamic roster of keynote speakers:
*Phoebe Ayers - Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
*Sumana Harihareswara - Wikimedia Foundation Engineering Community Team;
Advisor, Ada Initiative
*Christie Koehler - Community Building Education Lead, Mozilla Corporation
*DC Vito, Executive Director - The LAMP/MediaBreaker
For more information, please review our official press release below! We
hope you will join us and help us spread the word!
