In the manner of my colleague [[User:Econterms]] I will use this page to take notes about my Wikimedia DC activity.
 
 
==Diary==
 
* January 21, 2014: Today I was a guest lecturer in Andrew Lih's class, where I discussed Wikimedia DC activity and Wikimedia Commons. 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.
 
* January 22, 2014: Our Projects 2014 grant proposal was approved; I took a survey regarding the process. Today I edited the press release for WikiConference USA. 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.
 
* January 23–24, 2014: Over these two days I have worked on the report for Wiki Loves Monuments 2013. I have also been reading literature on Wiki Loves Monuments (courtesy of WMF PE&D) and preparing for Tuesday's meeting on the subject.
 
* January 25, 2014: I attended the Capitol City Brewery meetup. About eleven people attended.
 
* January 26, 2014: Today was a conference call for WikiConference USA, where we discussed some final business before announcing the conference.

* Strategic plan interviewing process (as first step toward strategic plan)
 
* Centralized data collection and storage system (for edit-a-thon data and the like) – perhaps we could use Qualtrics?
