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). Details here on the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Manhattan Register your team here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=p6ZUwmVAR5AffdgwuyvNNKA Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC Come one, come all! Our next meeting for Wikimedia NYC is Sunday September 13 at Columbia University. This is a meeting for volunteers to the projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, and everyone else too, who has ever looked at Wikipedia and wondered what's going on behind it. One big topic of discussion, out of many, will be preparing for our 'Wikis Takes Manhattan' photo scavenger hunt this fall. Other topics will be recent experiences at the recent Wiki-Conference New York and in cooperating with local groups in the metro area, a roundtable on the yearlong Wikimedia Strategic Planning process, and discussing issues relevant to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. We welcome all guests. If you support open education and free culture, we are your people. If you have a project you want to work on with us, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted. If you want someone to give a talk or teach a class with an inside view of Wikipedia, meet your volunteers. And if you just have any questions, we'd be glad to try to answer them. Remember, the agenda here is up to you! I encourage anyone who is interested to sign up to give a presentation or suggest a topic for general discussion at our wikimeetup page (given below). ---Meeting details--- 2:30 PM - 5:00PM: Room 1402 Pupin Hall, Columbia University. Take the elevator to the 13th floor and then walk up one flight of stairs. Meeting to be held in the library at the east end of the hall. 5:00 PM onwards: Meetup at Pupin Hall, and then walk together to The Symposium, a local Greek restaurant with an oddly appropriate name.
