"You talkin' to me!?!"  (from "Taxi Driver")

Phoebe - (& Pete)

wasn't sure if you're e-mail meant that I am also now unsubscribed from the -- 
San Francisco Bay Area Wikimedians  -- list?

If so, I'll sign up again. 

also, I'll be glad to help as a meeting facilitator (my former career before 
World Peacemaker!) and to plan/organize the meeting.  I still have a few 
thoughts for improvement from the Wiki 10th event.

Best,

Hi Erik! Great to know TechShop is interested in being a potential host. 
Thank you! I'll add it to our list of potential spaces on the 
MeetingPlace pad. http://meetingwords.com/RccPlanning


A bummer that SF didn't have anything for Wikipedia Day. I did attend 
the event in NYC this weekend and had a great and inspiring time. 
Hopefully next year we'll have a party in SF!

If we want to do one, I got the perfect venue in downtown SF, TechShop.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast?

[Pete Forsyth]

Kul and John -- yes, it seems like there's something buggy going on on the 
MeetingWords etherpad server. So I've started a page here instead:

http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/RccPlanning

Sorry for the confusion! That's the page, I mean it this time -- for reals!!

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.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast?

[Pete Forsyth]

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 - why don't you get a planning page started up on the Wiki? Would the RCC

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.
