I've heard that in NYC, the largest TA3M city event, Wikipedians use TA3M to meet once a month in NYC in person. Maybe there are other NYC-area Wikipedia events, but TA3M is used for some NYC Wikipedian face time. When I helped co-create TA3M Seattle, I was hoping for cross-polination of information exchange between all the local tecnology user groups, and I was hoping for some Open Data coverage, beyond more Open Source, so I'm very happy to see Wikipedia involved with TA3M Seattle! Thanks for speaking at TA3M, J-Mo, and Pine, and Mako! And thanks for Lane for initially getting TA3M and local Wikipedians connected!
