Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/2017-01 Broadly Workshop

This Broadly Workshop Wikipedia Editathon is a small workshop and training session on Thursday, January 19, 2017, at the VICE Media LLC offices in Brooklyn. It is meant to be a preliminary, customized private workshop for Broadly and associated VICE Media LLC employees, invitation only, with the hope that future events will be the typical WM NYC open and public editathon as this outreach scales up. :-)
