Just a few days after announcing the
opening of the Innovation Hub, NARA Keeps on
Innovating -- Innovation Hub now open!, NARA
This venue
reflects the alignment in missions between Wikimedia volunteers, the National
Archives, and the Wiki Education Foundation: to make knowledge freely accessible
to the world.
“We are
pleased to host the Wikimedia community, with whom we have had a long and
beneficial collaboration,” said Archivist of the United States
WikiConference
USA is open to anyone, regardless of their involvement with Wikipedia or the
Wikimedia projects. We welcome the curious, the skeptical, and anyone wishing
to engage in meaningful conversation about the Wikimedia movement in the United
States, free culture and digital rights advocacy and outreach, community
building, and technology.
The
conference, which launched in New York City in
2014, will follow the focus on the grassroots efforts of the Wikipedia and
Wikimedia movement in the United
States
Scholarships
will be available to cover the cost of travel and stay in Washington , D.C.
To register
for the conference, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikiconference-usa-2015-tickets-17796698404.
Will you be going? Do you actively provide content to Wikipedia
or other Wiki projects?
I
spend a lot of time on Wiki pages. I
love having an ever evolving and growing type of encyclopedia at my finger
tips! A great place to get “some”
context for whatever I need information on.
Sometimes the content of a Wiki page is sufficient for my purposes and
when genealogy or history-related content is involved, it’s normally just the
tip of the iceberg for my research!
