Below is just a start, feel free to add more ideas. We just had a first organizing meeting, and there will be another next week! (Tuesday, Feb 11) Reach out if you would like to get involved, you can reach me at [email protected] --[[User:John Abbe|John Abbe]] ([[User talk:John Abbe|talk]]) 03:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC) | |||
=== What is already in the works? === | |||
Some kind of open video call - featuring one or more names you will recognize and want to hear from, *and* with plenty of time (probably in breakout groups if it's a lot of people?) for people to catch up or get to know each other, share some wiki stories, etc. Learn something, connect with someone, and celebrate! | |||
Definitely some kind of card or other wiki artifact that everyone can contribute to in some way. Stay tuned. | |||
=== Other possibilities === | |||
What else would you like to see? | |||
That is a Tuesday. So, we could lean into the '''[[Tech Tuesdays]]''' thing. And/or, March 26 could be a global retro/reunion for '''[[WikiWednesdays]]''', everyone organize whatever they want locally. Suggest we pick one of these early on and go for it. | That is a Tuesday.

=== Who's organizing this uear? | |||
So far: John Abbe, Mark Dilley, Cary, Phoebe, Pete, ??? | |||
Next steps include networking and generally getting the word out: Contact wikizens, wiki developers, maker spaces, free/open projects (OSU still host a bunch?), other coder commons, Wikia refugees, etc. | |||
