Dear Pine, Cascadians, Thanks for this thoughtful message, Pine! Applying to the Wikimedia DC is a great suggestion, we will go forward managing the event separately. Amanda and I are touching base early in the New Year and we will continue to keep Cascadia updated on the program and organization. Right now, please take a minute to mark your calendars for February 14 from 9:30-1:30 for the event, to be at the UW Research Commons.
I wish you all a happy holiday season and happy new year! Looking forward to seeing you again in 2015. Best wishes, Monika On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Pine W <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Monika, > > If you and Amanda would like to manage this event independently of CWUG, > which is 100% ok, then I think you might do best to request funding in a > way that isn't dependent on Cascadia Wikimedians User Group having our > budget approved and funded.
