Wikipedia talk:Meetup/NYC/Brunch#Lightning talks

Since this is partly a replacement for the semi-cancelled Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia Day 2022, and our largest in-person event in some time, maybe we could do additional activities like lightning talks during the event, and maybe a walking tour afterwards.--Pharos (talk) 16:30, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

We'll have some discussion and informal planning of this event and future outdoor NYC events tonight at 7pm, details at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/March 2022.--Pharos (talk) 04:55, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

What's the situation with safe places to park a bicycle at the venue? -- RoySmith (talk) 17:43, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

:It appears there is an [https://industrycity.com/getting-here/ indoor bike rack], among other options. Pharos (talk) 16:14, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

We might do a few impromptu lightning talks (about 3 minutes each), though it would be pretty informal as there's no A/V system. Might do this section around noon, or whenever works:

• We also had the pleasure, from the WMF side, of hearing from Quim on communications, and James on Abstract Wikipedia.--Pharos (talk) 02:31, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Had this message from the Wikimedia Foundation, wanted to share out of an abundance of caution: "We had one Foundation staff member who attended the event and tested positive two days after the meetup. Our contact tracing suggests it was likely from a contact they had dinner with and was unrelated to the event, but wanted to share this information with you."--Pharos (talk) 15:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
