[edit] Wikimania Meetup notes 20060710

  • Identifying groups who should get publicity

Just local groups? No--but groups that are likely to have people who'll want to come.

  • Local groups
Cambridge Chamber of Commerce: Deborah Finn/Eve Sullivan
Boston Non-profit mail list might have some members willing to volunteer
Harvard Summer School
Any other local conferences around that time?
Other local Meetups related to geeky or academic or idealistic topics
Libraries
The IgNobel people
  • Non-local groups
  • Identifying possible sponsors
  • Coupons/discounts/swag
Ask for discount coupons from tour bus companies that take off from Harvard Square
Ask for discount coupons from local restaurants, which might make them more eager to put our notices in their window...
