Hi everyone, The New England Wikimedians user group has been cleared to send a representative to the 2016 Wikimedia Conference <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2016> taking place in April 22-24 in Berlin, Germany. The person who would go on our behalf would receive travel funding, including flight and accommodations during the conference. (We are in Group 2 of the specific funding guidelines here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2016/Travel_and_Hotel> .)
We are looking for a volunteer to represent the NE Wikimedians at this event. If you are interested, please email me by 11:59 pm on Sunday, Jan 10. Include your name, Wikipedia username, and a 1-2 sentence statement explaining why you'd like to go. I will announce candidates on Monday, and we as a group will need to vote on who to send by Thurs., Jan. 14 (info on the mechanism for voting will be given at that time). Eligibility: All those who have demonstrated that they are a member of our group in some way within the past two years, whether attending group meetings, participating in edit-a-thons, taking part in relevant activity on the Wikimedia platforms, or similar. Not sure if you qualify? Apply anyway! cheers, Maia (user:Girona7) Co-leader, New England Wikimedians
