Photo Apps for Wikipedia - Guest Jim Henderson - In-Person JC Photography Meetup.

Jim Henderson is a Wikipedian, Wikimedia Commons Photographer, and avid cyclist from Wikipedia NYC. He will tell us what the Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons sites are about, and their impact on the 300+ Wikipedias and the rest of the world of free information. He will show how to contribute your photos and other kinds of knowledge such as words and data. He will show us tools such as the "WikiShootMe" Webpage and "Wikimedia Commons" Android app for pictures.

The new location is AndCo at 201 Montgomery, Jersey City on the Second Floor, turn right as you get off the elevator, then turn left and go all the way down the hall to the Stephen Hawking Room.
The format for the Meetups is as follows:
Bringing photos is NOT required to attend--Just interest and questions.
No theme this time. You can show 5 - 10 pictures of anything.
This is a group for anyone interested in photography. We meet every month to look at each others work, answer questions, provide feedback, and choose a theme for the next meetup. All media and skill levels welcomed. Whether you're a first-timer, an enthusiastic hobbyist, or a seasoned pro, this group will give you a chance to show your work in a friendly, supportive environment in which we can challenge and learn from one another.
