Open to it; would rather wait till I'm back home, though (end of month),
trying not to schedule things during my travels that don't relate to my
travels.

Hi Joe,
I’m thinking of a Zoom or Google Meet call with those who are interested,
probably just three or four of us to start. It’s an exploratory chat, so
there’s no pressure; we might decide to move forward, or we might not. How
that sounds?
Cheers,

I, for one, have no idea what you mean here by an "exploratory call". To
whom, about what? Or is that "call" as in "call for papers"? Or do you
mean an online session such as Zoom? Or something else entirely?

Glad to see some interest!
I may not have all the answers, mainly questions, but thanks for the
suggestions! A major event in Seattle or Portland could be ideal, and
connecting with the wiki-folx behind SXSW might help us strategize. How
about an exploratory call to gauge interest?
Cheers,

Just over two months out are these two events in Seattle:
- Seattle International Film Festiva <https://www.siff.net/festival
l
(SIFF), May 15–25 – although Sundance gets the flashy premieres,
SIFF
has
been touted as "the largest film gathering in the U.S.
<

"
& "the country's biggest international film festival

- Last year's festival program
<https://issuu.com/siffnews/docs/fest24_program> (p. 3) stated
that
they were screening a "total of 261 films from 84
countries/regions around
the globe: 92 features, 47 documentaries, 115 short films in 14
different
programs, five archival features, two conversations with
incredible
actresses, and two secret films. 18 of these films are world
premieres, 26
are North American premieres, and 14 are U.S. premieres. 49% of
our
filmmakers are female or non-binary identifying, 35% identify as
a
BIPOC
director, and 18% identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
62% are from
first- or second-time filmmakers, and 63% don’t currently have
U.S.
distribution."
- Should WikiPortraits
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:WikiPortraits> (on
Bcc:, *hint,
hint*) ever desire to get easy access to up-and-coming
filmmakers,
this is the festival at which to do it!
- 2025 NW Folklife Festival <https://nwfolklife.org/>, May 23-26th
–
this
54th year's theme <https://nwfolklife.org/festival/home.html> is
based
on the Japanese *Ikigai *[life worth living]

World Cup 2025 matches

Hi all,
I’m inspired by the wiki-activations happening at SXSW this week
<https://www.wiki.haus/>, and the possibility of bringing something
similar
to the PNW.
I’d love to explore what it would take to make it happen!
Cheers,
