Fwd: Party for Joe's 61st birthday
by Joe Mabel 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Inviting my fellow Wikimedians to my upcoming birthday party: You are invited to my birthday party at my house (3164 NE 83rd Street, Seattle) on the evening of Saturday, December 5, 2015. We'll be starting with a potluck dinner around 6PM, and presumably continue into the wee hours (last year went to about 3 or 4 AM, which is par for the course). No gifts, please, but food and drink to share would be welcome. Feel free to invite people you think would belong at my birthday party. Acoustic musical instruments are very welcome. If you are bringing kids, around dinner time is probably more kid-friendly than later in the evening. JM

Like, all of them. See https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2015-October/00018… for the fix; I'm not sure who maintains cascadia.wiki s/w, so I'm sending to the group here. JM

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] [GLAM] This Month in GLAM: October 2015

That white paper ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Flemish_art_collections,_Wikidata_an…) is very helpful! We in Cascadia Wikimedians are discussing engagement plans for a couple of museums, most likely the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_Museum_of_Natural_History_and_Culture> and the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Luke_Museum_of_the_Asian_Pacific_America…>. It will be great for us to have this white paper available when we talk to the museum staff.

Party and meeting in December
by Pine W 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Hi Cascadians, TA3M is interested in having an end-of-year party with us, with lightning talks and food like we had last year. I've included a funding request for the party in our current grant request to WMF. TA3M is in the process of finding a room and may coordinate the lightning talks. The likely date is December 14th (second Monday of December). If you're interested in food, lightning talks and chatting with the TA3M folks and other Cascadians, then please mark your calendars! We'll also have our annual membership meeting in December to elect board members for 2016. More details to come. Pine

Cascadia Wikimedians events on Monday and Tuesday
by Pine W 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi Cascadians, On Monday we'll have our regularly scheduled editathon at the UW Research Commons starting at 4:30 PM. The theme will be Native Americans in the Northwest. On Tuesday afternoon, Mako has invited us to his class for Q&A from 3:30 to 5:20. A few of us did this in a previous term and I think that we all enjoyed the experience. Please contact Mako if you're able to attend. I'm planning to show up around 4:15 PM, and I believe that Bruce will attend also. At 6 PM on Tuesday, after Mako's class finishes, we'll be over at Cafe Allegro for our regular monthly meetup. The focus will be planning for winter quarter. We've been discussing the possibility of focusing on museums, so let's work on the details at that meeting. Hope to see you Monday and/or Tuesday, Pine

Greetings! My students and I are going to be doing a debrief and reflection session on their experience with Wikipedia this coming Tuesday November 10th at 3:30-5:20. We'll be in room CMU 104 at UW. My students and I would /love/ it if any of you could take time to visit and talk about Wikipedia. They have all been working on Wikipedia for their assignments for several weeks and will have lots of great questions. Please let me know if you think you can come! So far, I have zero RSVPs! Last year we had about half a dozen folks and it was really fun! I'll take everydoby out for dinner afterward. Later, Mako <quote who="Benj.
