This year's picnic will be better than ever, as we'll have an unconference to get us started:

The 1st Wiki-Conference New York will be held over the weekend of July 25-26 2009 (confirmed!) at New York University, and hosted by Free Culture @ NYU and Wikimedia New York City.

Sign up on the wiki, propose a lightning talk or breakout topic, or round up some Wikimedians for a panel discussion.
