The Tech Programs Committee meeting is postponed to tomorrow. I must determine the best way to hold the meeting; Skype seems better at this point. I need to write my bio for WCUSA and do other maintenance work on its new wiki. |

It will be posted on Wikimedia DC's website as soon as some finishing touches are added. I confirmed my participation in a roundtable on Wikipedia and public relations (closed to the public) on February 7. I have an edit-a-thon and scan-a-thon scheduled for February; waiting for more information on the edit-a-thon. I should probably announce them in February, after the February 1 event. This evening I had a meeting with the Tech Programs Committee. We have many ideas on our plate and we are looking forward to our first hackathon in March. |
