Upcoming Gatherings?

I remember the formation of the Open Education League of NY at Open
Everything NYC and have been wondering what ever came of the group. I
recently got an email about this list and thought I should join to
check up. What's been going on here?
Cheers,
John Britton

Well, we've been growing a bit slowly, but we had great participation
from list members at Wiki-Conference NY in July, have had some good
conversations online, and we have also had some recent discussion
about sharing this list with the broader NYC librarian community. I
still of course also very much hope we will be able to find that
meeting space for more regular gatherings.
In the meantime, I would like to invite everyone and their brother to
"Wikipedia Day NYC", which will be held on Sunday January 24, 2010
(date awaiting final confirmation) at NYU.
The event is in commemoration of Wikipedia Day and the 9th anniversary
(!) of the founding of the site, and certainly we are also opening
this up to the broader Open Education community as well.
We are especially happy to welcome newcomers and the interested public
to the "Wikipedia world" with this event!
We will include several sessions specifically for newcomers, such as
"Welcome to Wikipedia: A tutorial for newcomers" and "Wikipedia and
Your Project: Educational and content partnerships", and people at all
levels of wiki-experience and coming from all fields are very welcome
to join us.
Read all about it, and please sign up for a lightning talk or open
space (all Open Education topics are welcomed!):
