Mailing list and stuff[edit]

Depending on the amount of interest we get, it might be a good idea to set up a mailing list for this group! -- Gaurav (talk) 01:06, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely. Pharos also suggested hijacking the Wikimedia Midwest mailing list since it's not being used for anything, but I'm not sure if that was in jest or not. Would you know how to set that up? -— Isarra 20:00, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, what would you or anyone else know about setting up a geonotice to try to get more folks involved? Say, people who know what they're doing... -— Isarra 20:00, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Geonotices aren't too difficult to request. I asked for one for the CSU Edit-a-thon. The hardest part was defining the geographic box. What message would we put in it to invite people to join WRM?

Oooh, ooh, pick me![edit]

Hello! I just moved to the area. I'd love to be involved with a Wikimedia chapter out here (I was already looking for campus ambassadors when I arrived...didn't find many). I like GLAM projects. I like to organize edit-a-thons with GLAMs. Sorry I couldn't make it to the Wiknic to discuss. Undead q (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Organise away. The less work the rest of us have to do, the more likely we are to support you. Personally I like the idea of starting a proper group, but I wound up too demotivated to actually do it; if you poke around you may find more... helpful folks? Hard to say. Could also arrange a meeting or something specifically to discuss that, too. Don't be afraid to abuse the mailing list, whatever the case. -— Isarra 00:26, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You will need to change the name in order to be approved as a Wikimedia User Group. (Unfortunately, the "Wikimedia X" name, according to current Affiliations Committee policy, can only go to full Chapters.) The "Wikimedia New England" group decided to rename itself to New England Wikimedians to satisfy this requirement, and perhaps a name of this kind can work for your region too.--Pharos (talk) 01:48, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
