Richard: I am so sorry that I can not attend the meeting today. I have been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about Wikimedia NYC. Unfortunately my first invite comes on the last day of WordCamp NYC. I would have skipped this last day for Wikimedia, except Matt Mullenweg the founder of WordPress, is the closing speaker. I hope to attend the next meeting of Wikimedia NYC.
