Update: I've talked with Richard in NYC, and Stephen at WMF. I'm interested contributing to the event. I put together a basic wiki page to plan/organize here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Wikipedia_Day_2016
I am intrigued by the idea of connecting with other cities, but I'd like to first focus on what we can do to make it worthwhile locally, before committing to extensive syncing. My suggestion: the 1pm to 2pm "Lightning Talks" part seems great, and as I understand it would be coordinated locally by Stephen LaPorte, and would be synced with (at least) NYC and Seattle to some extent. I also think it makes sense to do some kind of video check-in later in the day with other locations, IF we have an event that lasts several hours. What would others like to do? Are there people on this list who want to, say, take a 30 or 60 minute time slot and put together a panel discussion? Anybody eager to cook up some special birthday food, or make a donation? I am happy to seek out a sponsor or two to cover, say, pizza and birthday cake (which is what NYC is doing). I have some independent plans to do some video interviews about "Wikipedia at 15," which I could potentially repurpose into a 30 or 60 minute session. What other ideas are out there?
