Hello all! As you all know, January 15 is fast approaching! And with it, the west coast wikiconference. I know there hasn't been much recent movement on this .... which is as much my fault as anyone's :) I'm assuming, however, that we're still enthusiastic about making this thing happen as a community :) So...
==venue and essential questions== * do we want a 1 or 2 day event? * do we want to stay in the women's center? (Eugene, what is our status with them?) Or, * given that we haven't done much to plan this thing, do we want to move into a smaller (cheaper) venue? (I am thinking the SoMa hub, which I believe is available during the day on Jan. 15, though not the evening: http://bayarea.the-hub.net/public/space.html. We were concerned about it being too small, but I'm not sure if we should worry about that at this point. I would like to get the venue confirmed by the beginning of December, no later. * Money: Eugene has offered Wiser Earth as a fiscal sponsor. If that doesn't work out, I will offer to manage the money for the conference, including putting the money up front for a venue deposit. ==planning meeting== I think it would be good to have an online or in-person planning meeting soon. I know next weekend is the holiday weekend, but what about on IRC planning meeting on Saturday? Let me know what you think -- let's get the ball rolling on this again :) best, Phoebe -- [email protected] | http://phoebeayers.info support Wikimedia: http://donate.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
