It would be really good to meet Canberrans whether they are interested in helping our with a wiki conf and/or members of the chapter or neither. We will be meeting in a cafe (as yet to be determined by [[user:confusing manifestations]] ) in the City district at 9am on Friday week. Please come along if you can! For those who are interested to know, over the course of that Thursday and Friday we have arranged meetings with directors from: the National Gallery; the Australian War Memorial; the National Library (twice) and the Australian institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS). Other insitiutions will be joining us such as the Australian Digital Alliance. The purpose of these meeting quite loose. Simply put, these institutions have had ad hoc dealings with wiki•edians, from a variety of people, across a range of issues, for several years. We are going to "fly the flag" and answer their questions and see where discussion takes us. From their point if view, just being able to put a face to this vast thing called "wiki" will be important. If you have specific questions that would like us to pose to these institutions please contact either Brianna, myself or the Wikipedia Australia committee.
