Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York
hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn
hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics,
practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an
opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more
robust account of history.

For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and
develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of
different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community.
Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local
groups.
