On the wiki, it says that the event is exclusively for Columbia students. I'm an NYU guy, will that mean that my role in the event will only be as an outside "volunteer?"

Hi all,

And now for an update!

We're currently planning a joint event for Friday March 28 (Rain date:
Saturday March 29) with our friends at the Students for Free Culture
chapter at Columbia University, with students to be scrambling all
over Manhattan in a competition to snap Wikipedia-requested photos.

If you have any photo requests of any kind, don't be shy.  Add them to:

There's also going to be some role for Wikipedian/Wikimedian
volunteers at this event, perhaps assissting some of the competing
teams during the day, and certainly working on uploading the images at
the party in the evening, and placing them in Wikipedia articles.

To clarify, the "Wikipedia Academy" article-writing event with Free
Culture Columbia I mentioned in my previous message is still being
planned, but it will be a separate event, held later in the semester.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about these
developments, we'd be glad to hear them.

Thanks,
Pharos
