Hi folks,
Wikis Take Manhattan 2009 is a planned scavenger hunt and free content
photography contest coordinated with Columbia University and New York
University students and The Open Planning Project, aimed at
illustrating Wikipedia and Streetswiki articles covering the wondrous
sights of the isle of Manhattan, and all across the Five Boroughs of
New York City
Scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2009, this event will be a sequel
to last spring's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan (WTM-1) and last fall's
Wikis Take Manhattan (WTM-2) event.
Everyone will meet up and check in at one of the two starting points
located at Columbia and The Open Planning Project, and after an
afternoon of subways, street rambles, photography and free culture
goodness, the night will conclude with a party back at The Open
Planning Project's fantastic new event space nestled between Chinatown
and SoHo.
The day will be sponsored by Free Culture @ Columbia, the Columbia
University chapter of Students for Free Culture, in cooperation with
the NYU chapter Free Culture @ NYU, The Open Planning Project,
Wikimedia New York City and Wikipedia volunteers.
All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in
teams of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a
digital camera and a love of the city).
