Just
chiming in to say that I don’t think this is the sort of
thing where we can get funding since we are proposing it as
a regular session (it’s not a keynote or anything). We
aren’t even guaranteed to have our proposal accepted!
(Although of course I think the organizers would nuts not to
want to hear about fantastic collaboration opportunities
like this!)

Hi Bob,
I don't know of anyone in Minneapolis who has served as WiR
at the Walker. I do have some contacts at the Minneapolis
Historical Society who are going to be doing an event soon,
that I'm supporting from afar. I can introduce you to them -
they are staff members though. Lori has some contacts for
local WIkipedians, I believe.
If all else fails, and grant/funding can be secured I'm sure
someone could be flown there for the event.

Hi folks,
Is there someone who is currently
serving as Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Walker Arts
Center? Or someone else in Minneapolis - or even Chicago?
Or is there a previous WiR who could be in Minneapolis
during June 2013?
Merrilee Profitt (of OCLC) and I would
like to propose a session about Wikipedia/Wikimedia/GLAM,
etc. at the forthcoming RBMS preconference (Rare Books and
Manuscripts Section of the American Library Association)
which meets in Minneapolis in June 2013. It would be nice
to have a person who is actually participating in a
project or has done so in the past.
