Folks, First, let me thank Pine for his efforts in trying to nail things down with WMF Affcom & Legal.
While we wait for the Quarterly goals for WMF Legal to play out, there surely should be _something_ on which we can move ahead beyond our monthly meetup. Perhaps we can a least organize an edit-a-thon. I'd like to say let's do a GLAM event, but I don't think that there is anyone in Seattle working with GLAM. According to Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Connect#Information by state <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Connect#Information_by_state>, there is Another Believer in Oregon, & Wikipedia:GLAM/Canada <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Canada> lists The Interior & Nikkimaria as contacts. So I invite members of this list who cannot make it to the Seattle, Tuesday 10/14 meetup to share their ideas here, & for people who can make it to the meetup, please bring your ideas. I don't know if it would be worth it to do a Google Hangout or Skype at the meetup, but I could bring my Nexus 7 & test to see if it works over the Café Allegro's WiFi (my laptop is currently blind). On another matter, last week Seattle OpenStreetMap submitted its bid for the the Spring 2015 State of The Map U.S. conference. Based on past performance, OpenStreetMap could decide between the bids in about two weeks. Out of the last five State of The Map U.S. conferences, two have been on the West Coast (S.F. & Portland) & that may work against Seattle, but I think the Seattle group has put in a pretty strong bid. Yours, Peaceray
