==30th WikiBirthday — March 25, 2025==
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.

Networking and generally getting the word out: Contact wikizens, maker spaces, free/open projects (OSU still host a bunch?), other coder commons, etc.
=== Who's organizing this uear?


Who: John Abbe, Mark Dilley, Cary, Phoebe, Peter Kaminski, ???
So far: John Abbe, Mark Dilley, Cary, Phoebe, Pete, ???


Possible first meeting Jan 15 or 22 - WikiWednesdays! - in the evening in US time zones, but we will doubtless have meetings at different times so that people from different parts of the world can participate.
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.


A card?!
