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.
