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.

[Wikimedia Cascadia] invitation to WikiConference North America...
Hello, Cascadia is invited to WikiConference North America. <https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2018/Main_Page> Presentation submissions and scholarship applications must be in by 15 August. In previous years the presentation submission process and scholarship selection process have sought geographic diversity so it is likely that if people from Cascadia apply then some few (~60 scholarships for North America?) will be selected. If there are any hot leads in Cascadia on anyone new who might be interested and who has never attended a wiki event before this conference is a great introduction. I am here to talk publicly in this mailing list or privately on request to anyone with questions about presentations, scholarships, or other aspects of the conference. To anyone interested - new or experienced - please apply!

Is anyone free and interested to meet up at any time Monday - Wednesday April 16-18? Perhaps we could meet some evening at Cafe Allegro. I would do annual reporting if that still needs to be done.

I take back what I said - please do not assume that this event is open invitation. However, I am sure that they are interested in hosting wiki events in the future at their space. No - I am unable to attend this.

Hello Cascadia, Check this out: <http://hivemedialabgrandopening.com/> 4:30 - 7:30 PM FEBRUARY 9TH *HIVE MEDIA LAB* *401 MERCER STREET* *SEATTLE, WA 98109* KCTS9 is the PBS affiliate in Seattle. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCTS-TV> Brian Glanz, who is an Open Knowledge Foundation organizer, is managing programs here and has said that the space could host and promote wiki-meetups. One of the goals of this place is to promote Seattle's culture of open media. If any Wiki Cascadia people are able to go then great! I think that one of the challenges in Seattle to developing wiki culture has been outreach and advertising.

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Introduction & Art+Feminism Edit-a-Thon
Hello, Thanks for writing in. I expect that different people can contribute different parts of this, but to start, are you able to secure a location? When do you expect to confirm one? You say that you are a library student. It helps at these events if someone is able to bring curated information to the event which would be good to share, like books or articles which can be cited. Are you able to collect a few books and papers to recommend for people who need source information to develop articles? If you can do that, then that firms up the theme of the event. Thanks for speaking up. yours, On Mon, Jan 30, 2017 at 4:46 PM, Lou Wainer <wai...@uw.edu> wrote: > Dear Cascadian Wikimedians, > > Hi!

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] OCLC hiring a Wikipedian-in-Residence in Seattle...
Hello, A few weeks ago wrote about a job opening for a Wikipedian who is based either in Seattle or in Mateo, California. I got some questions so I will share what other information I have, all of which is public. The deadline for applying is Friday 13 January. I wish that some good candidates could come from Seattle. The hiring organization is OCLC, a long-time partner of Wikipedia. They hired a Wikipedian named Max Klein in 2012 who did a bot and database project that was a precursor to many contemporary Wikidata projects. Since then OCLC has sent staff to Wikipedia events regularly, particularly to Wikimania. Earlier this year OCLC won a grant from the Knight Foundation to do outreach to public libraries. That is the focus of this present job opening. <https://www.oclc.org/news/releases/2016/201612dublin.en.html> I do not think that they actually got their full funding request, so this is not a high-budget project. The Wikimedia Foundation gave them an additional grant to complement this Knight Foundation request. < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/A_Wikipedian-in-Residence_to_Engage_500_Librarians_and_their_Communities > In this grant, they say that they are offering compensation and benefits equivalent to 70k/year. OCLC is a great organization. I do not have inside information on the position or the role but if anyone has any questions about wiki outreach jobs in general then feel free to write me.

[Wikimedia Cascadia] Fwd: OpenCon 2016 Scholarships for Wikimedians (Apply by July 11)
Hello, This message might be crossposted elsewhere but I wanted to share it with the Cascadia group because I know there is special interest in open access and academic openness in Cascadia. OpenCon has not been historically themed for all open projects, but instead, has been heavy on academic research and journals. If anyone in Cascadia feels that attending this might be right, apply now, because applications close in a few days. yours, -- Forwarded message -- From: Nick Shockey <n...@sparcopen.org> Date: Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 10:03 PM Subject: OpenCon 2016 Scholarships for Wikimedians (Apply by July 11) To: Hello! You're receiving this message because you mentioned an interest in Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects in your application to attend OpenCon 2015. We've submitted a project & events grant proposal to the Wikimedia Foundation to support the attendance of 8 representatives of the Wikimedia community at this year's OpenCon conference in Washington, DC. The grant is now open for review, and we would welcome your comments on the proposal and, if you're supportive, your endorsement as well. You can find the proposal at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/SPARC/OpenCon_2016 Support from the community will help ensure the proposal is fully funded. Most importantly, I hope you'll consider applying to OpenCon again this year, if you haven't already. We think it's important to build strong bridges between the Wikimedia community and the Open Access, Open Data, and Open Education communities—for the benefit of both. If this grant proposal is successful, we will be able to ensure a robust Wikimedia presence at this year's OpenCon, and we hope you'll submit an application to be considered. *Applications close this coming Monday, July 11, so be sure to apply soon!* You can find this year's application at https://secure.opencon2016.org/referral/wiki and if you mention Wikipedia or Wikimedia in your application, it will automatically be flagged for consideration for this block of scholarships, if supported by the Wikimedia Foundation (even if you've already applied). Also, please share this call for applications with any other Wikimedians who might be interested!

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Wikimedia clips for NPR and BBC radio
Pine, It has not worked that way yet. They only speak as a chorus of executive staff and lawyers. This is fairly typical for any institutional relationship when they have no Wikipedian on staff. If you want to draft proposals to share with the mix then you can. Write in such a way that twenty different people who know nothing about Wikipedia will all interpret your proposal in the same way when they read it separately. 6 months would be an expected turn around for comments once we submit several proposals. Chats could happen sooner if we requested and you could join. These kinds of meetings are burdensome for us because they take lots of time and move slowly.

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Now that I am going to these Art+Feminism edit-a-thons, what am I doing about recruiting CWUG members?

[Wikimedia Cascadia] professor in Spokane seeking support for Latin class...
Hello, I watch the education noticeboard and am a fan of school outreach. I am going to share a contact seeking support through the education program and will try to keep doing this when I see professors in the region. I am not expecting anyone to respond to this but wanted to share that the demand exists. I know that this Cascadia community hardly has capacity now to manage an odd flow of incoming projects, but I wanted to express that odd projects continually come in through various channels. One of those channels is the education board. See here for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Education_noticeboardoldid=645945175#Request_for_course_instructor_right:_Dr_Ostorius_.28talk.29_.28course_page_draft.29 A professor teaching advanced Latin has a class of 5 students and they plan to edit Wikipedia, both in English and in Latin. The professor knows little about Wikipedia and the students probably also have not edited. They are requesting some support. Obviously they will have a hard time and limited response on Latin Wikipedia and probably so in editing Latin articles here. There is an organization called the Wikipedia Education Foundation which will provide some support to this professor, including directions to online training and 1-2 phone calls. This is definitely better than nothing, and in my opinion is enough to allow the class to at least give minimally useful contributions, but there is little chance of engagement after the class using this process. In my opinion, the next step in engagement is having some Wikipedian try to work with the professor to encourage them to come back next year with more students. Recruiting students to stay is very difficult. Still, this opportunity exists, it is easier to recruit people who come to us than to go out in the world and pitch people cold, and professors and classes really do mean well and will contribute a lot of time and good information. I think that if Cascadia is funded, then having one of the paid positions on point to greet and be a point of contact for professors should be an outreach strategy which is considered. yours, -- Lane Rasberry user:bluerasberry on Wikipedia 206.801.0814 l...@bluerasberry.com ___ Wikimedia-Cascadia mailing list Wikimedia-Cascadia@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-cascadia

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Accounting software sale
Ann, The beginning of it was hearing repeatedly for years that practically every Wikimedia community group has trouble reporting their finances back to the Wikimedia Foundation, and that arguments over who is responsible for reporting finances do a lot to cause arguments in community groups which receive grants. After first evaluating the need to try something different to prevent problems in the future and deciding that paying for software was a good idea, Pine did research then presented it back to the rest of the group and we all discussed the options. That is not a full answer to your question, but in Wikimedia community groups, the bigger question often is Why should anyone pay for any software? and coming to terms with our own need was the bigger hurdle here. From the budget, Pine noted - -- Note: I researched other options including Wave, Quickbooks Online Sage One, and Freshbooks. It appears to me that Xero is the best choice for us based on the following considerations: usability, privacy, multi-user capabilities and access controls, scalable payroll, 3rd-party tool availability, online banking integration, tax reporting, and cost -- The other option considered was Google Spreadsheets, but plain spreadsheets have a history of being insufficient in other community groups. yours, On Thu, Jan 15, 2015 at 10:52 PM, Ann Summy ann.su...@gmail.com wrote: How/why did you all decide on this accounting software?

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Budget and bylaw proposals
Peaceray, What titles are being imagined here? Confirm if I am correct: The organization has a board. The board has five members. Titles required in Washington are president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Any other titles are optional. All people on the board are officers in addition to any other titles they have. The board serves the organization's membership and staff, and people in those groups can have any titles they choose, like (non-board) president, director, program manager, volunteer, or anything else. I am having trouble understanding *This might be useful, for example, if the President and Treasurer are not board members and the Board wishes to have them serve on the Audit Committee* because the board has to have a president and treasurer, right?

Since I know that Pine has been very busy with family matters, I will take the liberty of sharing what Pine wrote to me about the changes that he made: *** *I did some online research and made some changes based on that research. In particular:* 1. *Washington law sets maximum notice of member meetings at 50 days.* 2. *Per Washington law, the Corporation Shall not loan money or credit to its officers or directors.* 3. *I made the section on background checks more extensive, including spelling out how background checks for the President and Treasurer should be performed.* 4. *Minors should not serve as voting Board members, but they may helpfully contribute to advisory boards and advisory committees. I made that explicit in a few places, and I removed the exception that allowed the Secretary to be a minor.* 5. *I added a provision allowing for two non-Board members to be appointed to the Audit Committee. This might be useful, for example, if the President and Treasurer are not board members and the Board wishes to have them serve on the Audit Committee. This provision would also allow for people to serve on the Audit Committee who are not interested in serving on the full Board.* *** Also, if I recollect our subsequent verbal discussion correctly, other changes may have been modeled after other Washington non-profits, there were some changes to give the board a bit more powerful the officers a little bit less powerful.

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Cascadia programs for first year
Hello, I support the use of a .wiki endorsement. I would support affiliation with Top Level Design, Jason's company, because I feel that anyone using wikis in any context is a benefit to the entire Wikimedia project, and because I feel like the favoritism given to the registrar for this domain is not significantly different as compared to favoritism given to someone doing a .com or .org registration. Also I feel that an affiliation with that company is an ideal partnership, because their very existence is premised on the past and future success of Wikimedia projects and the strength of any community groups in the region. Having a website off the Wikimedia projects might look professional but without multiple people to manage it then I am not convinced this is a priority. There is no Wikimedia group which has built community around their off-wiki website in the English language, and I doubt there is one at all. Off-wiki websites can be present past achieves to impress people who do project review, perhaps as part of a grant evaluation. Going off wiki typically means going off watchlists and out of touch with the Wikimedia community. In my opinion, staying in Wikimedia projects, perhaps with a .wiki redirect to a project page, is the most natural choice until there is a volunteer labor surplus and the organization navigates past its first cycle of grant requesting and reporting. Setting up a website achieves no stated early goal that I recognize. Content on Wikipedia could always be migrated to another website at a later time. yours, On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 7:02 PM, Pine W wiki.p...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, as of right now the board hasn't delegated any of its authority, which is an issue that will be addressed when we have bylaws so that a board vote isn't necessary for every decision. We may also pass some resolutions for temporary delegation of responsibility until the bylaws are finalized. For now, though, we'll need a board vote to approve obtaining property. Our Meta talk page would be a good place to do this for matters that aren't confidential. Jason, I suggest that you ask the relevant person in your org to draft a contract that specifies that Cascadia Wikimedians User Group will be donated ownership of the cascadia.wiki domain, and specifies how hosting arrangements and costs will be arranged (no cost is great), and the procedure for transferring hosting of the domain if we decide to host elsewhere. After we get a copyof the proposal, our board can review it, and discuss and vote on our Meta talk page. It would be nice if the agreement is produced under a Commons-compatible license so it can be reviewed by the public on Commons and potentially reused by others. Thanks!

I'm not sure if/how domain registrations differ between individuals and organizations (not my area of expertise), but again I am happy to continue liaising between CWUG and the company and answer any specific questions re: registration and hosting. I've not heard any resistance to the domain cascadia.wiki for our group, so shall we continue moving forward with this plan or do we need to raise the question with other board members or at meta?

Got it. :) That being said, if the group is more comfortable with tasking someone to accept transfer of the domain and maintain hosting/renewals under his/her own name, we can help with those arrangements, too. I am not sure what additional detail is needed, but if you have specific questions or concerns, I'd be happy to respond. I think that our long term plan should to have the domain ownership transfered to our organization. I don't mind if the technical contact, registration fees, and hosting is donated (in fact, that sounds wonderful!) but I think it is wise that our organization and its board have ownership and ultimate over the domain that people use to find us. Thank you so much for offering to organize this!
