What, Where, When, and How?
[edit]There is one public meeting in the afternoon at Jefferson Market Library, where we take further steps to organize the Wikimedia New York City local chapter, and provide a salon-style forum for discussion of Wikipedia and Wikimedia issues.
Additionally, there is an optional post-meeting dinner at a neighborhood restaurant.

- Jefferson Market Library, 425 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave). 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM on Saturday, August 20, 2011.
Optional post-meeting meetup
