The meetup is being organized by mblumber and Wknight8111. If you would like to help, please contact us.

Location[edit]

We will be meeting at Drexel's Creese Student Center, between 32nd and 33rd streets on Chestnut at 3pm.

Dinner will be at Bucca Di Beppo, 258 South 15th St at 6pm. I'm going to tell them six people, but can make it a larger number.

We will be meeting in the first floor lobby. Please enter the doors facing chestnut street on the eastern end of the building (closest to 32nd street)

Agenda[edit]

Discuss the possibility of having a more formalized group structure
Wikipedia-related projects around Philadelphia
- Are we interested in contacting the Art Museum to do something like what NY is doing?
- Is anyone interested in expanding our coverage of the SEPTA system, both the subways and regional rail?
- We could also work to expand the coverage of the National Historic Landmarks in Philadelphia
Enjoy a tasty meal (optional)
