Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Wikipedia Conference 2020

[Su-Laine Brodsky]

I agree the main campuses of UBC and SFU are too far away from downtown and 
from accommodations.

UBC Robson Square might be big enough: 
https://robsonsquare.ubc.ca/event-conference-planning/

Other downtown options could be SFU’s downtown buildings, or BCIT’s downtown 
campus. See http://www.sfu.ca/mecs/vancouver-main.html and 
https://www.bcit.ca/rentals/downtown.shtml . SFU’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for 
Dialog is an incredible space aesthetically - I’m not sure if has enough of the 
right-sized rooms though.

Is there a list of the requirements, e.g. “at least one room that will fit 300 
people and five other spaces that will hold 30 people each” kind of thing?

you yet)

 How many people "on the ground" do you think it requires? How big is
 this year's conference?

[Wikimedia Cascadia] Vancouver meetup at QE Park, August 4

[Su-Laine Brodsky]

Hi everyone,

(cross-posted to Cascadian and Canadian Wikipedia mailing lists)

An August long weekend get together is on, this Sunday from 10 to noon! We will 
meet at the designated picnic area at the north end of Queen Elizabeth Park, 
where the picnic table icon appears on this map: 
https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/queen-elizabeth-park-map(1).pdf . If you'd like 
to bring some snacks to share, that would be lovely. If not, don’t worry about 
it. 

Everyone is welcome in accordance with the standard WMF Friendly Space Policy 
(https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy). Hope to see you 
there.

Cheers,
Su-Laine

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Seattle-area Edit a Thon (Nov 2, 2019) Seeking Wikipedians & Wikimedians.

Re:

You can do that with the “Event Coordinator” rights. You can apply here: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Event_coordinator
 or ask any admin to give you the rights. 

One thing you can do with Event Coordinator rights is give other uses 
“Confirmed” status. At the beginning of an edit-a-thon I pass around a sign-up 
sheet and have everyone write down their username, then when I have time I make 
them all Confirmed. That makes things go more smoothly for them.

Cheers,
Su-Laine

[Wikimedia Cascadia] Vancouver, BC meetup on June 9

[Su-Laine Brodsky]

Hi everyone,

Five terrific Wikipedians made it to last April’s meetup in Vancouver. We had a 
good informal gathering, and we would like to meet more regularly. The next 
Vancouver meetup will be on Sunday, June 9.  We will meet at 10 AM at Kafka's 
Coffee and Tea, 2525 Main Street. I hope to see you there.

Jean-Philippe, if you could please put this on the Wikimedia Canada calendar, 
that would be great.

Cheers,
Su-Laine

[Su-Laine Brodsky]

Hi everyone,

I’m organizing an informal get-together in Vancouver for Sunday, April 14. It’s 
been a very long time since our last one. 

We’ll meet at 10 AM at 49th Parallel Coffee, which is at 2902 Main Street 
(https://www.yelp.ca/biz/49th-parallel-coffee-vancouver-3). There’s no 
particular topic or agenda. I'm doing some research about Wikipedia group 
dynamics and would like to chat about your editing experiences, if anyone wants 
to share. If you can’t make it but can get together some other time, please let 
me know.

Hope to see some of you there :)
