Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Wikimedia-Cascadia Digest, Vol 60, Issue 1
WikiConference North America 2020 will be in Canada next October, probably in Toronto. Do we want to think about proposing some place in Cascadia in 2021 or 2022?

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Wikipedia Conference 2020
I am in to assist with organizing. I worked on previous Wikiconference grant applications including one for a 2016 proposal to host in Seattle. We talked about this some years ago and we have a sense of the labor commitment and logistics. I have been out of the region some years but am still a Cascadian and ready to jump into discussions and regional planning. On Sun, Nov 10, 2019 at 12:03 PM Benj.

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Wikipedia Conference 2020
For those at WCNA currently, I suggest a lunchtime meeting today to apply for a Wikipedia Day grant for January. This is a rather smaller thing than hosting WCNA, but still substantial, and maybe a good intermediate step. Technically, Nov 15 is the last day to apply, so I think it would be best to just do it at the conference when people are together: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Apply You can apply for $500-$2,000, possibly you would have a single grant to cover two or three events in the Cascadia region. Here are some examples from last year that you are free to borrow from and remix: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/L235/Stanford_Wikipedia_Day_2019 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wikipedia_Day_Chicago_2019 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wikipedia_Day_NC_2019 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wikipedia_Day_LA,_2019 I will be glad to set up a fundraising-style banner for both editors and readers of Wikipedia and other projects, which should bring in a big enough crowd to justify it, and worked well for the other localities last year. The format is sort of a combined birthday party and one day mini-conference, with maybe a panel or two and heavy use of lightning talks.
