End of 2013 Celebration and Meeting | ||
---|---|---|
The End of 2013 Celebration and 2014 Kickoff Party will be a large-scale meetup of all interested Wikimedians from the New England area. We will socialize; review regional events of 2013; look ahead to regional events of 2014; and discuss the possible formalization of our community (i.e., a chapter). | ||

2013 was a banner year for the New England Wikimedians, which has, as of December 30th, officially become a Wikipedia User Group!
Come and celebrate our successes in 2013 and help us plan future events for the year ahead. Organizers of the many edit-a-thons, hackathons, and other Wikipedia events held in New England this past year will be on hand to re-cap their experiences. We will take a quick look at some larger Wikimedia initiatives and discuss how we might participate as a distinct user group. We will ask for input on and volunteers for a tentative list of events and meetings during the 2014 calendar year. Finally, we will update everyone on our goal of creating an official Wikimedia chapter in late 2014.
There will be food and drink! There will be music! Let's get this year started off right. We highly encourage new editors or those who may never have attended one of our events to come to this meeting. Among other things, we will discuss how to incorporate those of us outside of the immediate Boston Metro area into regular New England Wikimedian plans and efforts.
