Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast?
I think a 2012 Westcoast Wikicon would be great. I was really surprised we really did not have anything in SF for Wikipedia day. I was at the Wiki-con 2011/ 10 anniversary party and it was awesome. If we want to do one, I got the perfect venue in downtown SF, TechShop.

Good question, Kul -- http://meetingwords.com/RccPlanning is the best place for this. RecentChangesCamp has a wiki, which has been where such planning usually takes place: http://recentchangescamp.org But, Mark Dilley has started a planning page on an Etherpad, which makes it a lot easier to get started (don't need an account, for instance). Once there is some solid content, it will probably more sense to move this to the wiki. -Pete On Jan 29, 2012, at 11:06 AM, Kul Takanao Wadhwa wrote: > Pete - why don't you get a planning page started up on the Wiki?

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast?
Dear Mr. Parker, Welcome to the list -- and, your vote of confidence in a west coast wiki conference is very encouraging. I'm very glad to hear the idea appeals to you! Judging from past RCC efforts, the first important step is to build some consensus for a vision, including a strong local volunteer base in a specific city, venue ideas, event format, etc. If you have ideas around that, please jump in with them! Or, if you're purely interested as a potential funder, that is very welcome news; but it will take a little time before we have a coherent proposal to bring to you. We will certainly get back in touch if and when plans start to firm up! -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on English Wikipedia Principal, Wiki Strategies www.wikistrategies.net +1 503-383-9454 On Jan 29, 2012, at 10:57 AM, Sean Parker wrote: > I would be open to provide financing for a West coast event > > From: wikimedia-sf-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org > > To: portlandw...@googlegroups.com ; San > Francisco Bay Area Wikimedians > Sent: Sat Jan 28 18:23:21 2012 > Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast? > > Hey all, > > Recently, the idea of a RecentChangesCamp in Portland, San Francisco, > Seattle, or elsewhere on the west coast has popped up on the RCC-planning > mailing list. > > For those who don't know, RCC is one of the longer-standing wiki conferences, > and has been held in Portland more than anywhere else.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast?
I would be open to provide financing for a West coast event From: wikimedia-sf-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org To: portlandw...@googlegroups.com ; San Francisco Bay Area Wikimedians Sent: Sat Jan 28 18:23:21 2012 Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast? Hey all, Recently, the idea of a RecentChangesCamp in Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, or elsewhere on the west coast has popped up on the RCC-planning mailing list. For those who don't know, RCC is one of the longer-standing wiki conferences, and has been held in Portland more than anywhere else. The last Portland one was in 2008; it's also been held in Montreal (x2), Camberra, Australia (x2), Boston, and Palo Alto. I think it's fantastic that this community remembers Portland so fondly, and is so interested in having a conference there. And there's clearly a very fertile soil in SF as well. From past experience, this conference only happens if there is strong local will to pull it off. But if that exists, there is a good core, international group of volunteers who will help out, and provide insights from past events. At the same time, it seems to me that the wiki world has evolved since RCC was first held. There are now several similar models, including the WikiConference (the Wikimedia movement's name for regional conferences; one was held last year in San Francisco); WikiSym (an academic conference about online collaboration, which has grown to include an Open Space component like RCC). Also, the PortlandWiki grown up since the last one, and has found some solid allies and beneficiaries in independent groups like Occupy and Portland Afoot. So, my question is: do people feel like putting together a wiki conference in 2012? And is RCC a good model for doing that? I'd highly recommend joining the RCC-planning email list and discussing there, so that we don't get separate discussions going. https://groups.google.com/group/rcc-planning -Pete p.s. As an aside, I recently set up an IRC channel : #wikimedia-westcoast. While I know that many of you are more "wiki" people than "Wikimedia" people, I hope this is a useful tool for networking -- if you're an IRC user, please join us and say hi sometime! ___ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
