Dear all,

Two changes to this week's meetup.

Jelle and I are the only confirmations so far, and we have 2 Wikimedian guests in town Tuesday night, Frank Schulenberg and Pete Forsyth, giving a lecture at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. So we're changing the meetup to Tuesday at 8pm at Red Bones.

On the agenda:
* Amazing food and drinks!
* A guest speaker from the Wikimedia Public Policy Outreach project -- discussing how Wikimedia, the K-School, and public policy programs around the country are preparing to work together to improve public policy articles and their use in university classes. (and implications for related Tufts projects using Wikipedia and Wikisource)
* The latest New York Wikimedian events -- and the next regional meetup!
* This past weekend's board meeting : the latest updates to the 5-year WMF strategy, and movement-wide strategy discussions.
* Wikimedia US in Gdansk: preparing for July, helping with Program selection -- ideas for papers / talks
