Next regular Seattle meetup
by Pine W 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

Would the second Tuesday in August work? Tentative agenda: I am hoping that we can get a Wikimania report from Peaceray. I also hope to be able to report on meetings with WMUK and Wikimedia Community Ireland regarding their experiences with growth strategies. Brian and I have bank paperwork to sign. We are scheduling a meeting with UW about plans for the upcoming academic year. We also need to plan board elections for next year. At this time I'm not aware of any new candidates or anyone who wants to step down. Please indicate if the 2nd Tuesday in August is ok, and if you need to participate remotely. Thanks, Pine

This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Seattle#Housing_di… I'm about to dive in to a major expansion of the Ballard Locks article, but we should all get to work with this source material from the UW and expand several articles with it. Dennis

Planning spreadsheet for WikiConference USA 2016
by Pine W 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi all, I shared a planning spreadsheet for WikiConference USA 2016 in Seattle. (This year's conference is on the other coast. Please book your flights and hotels for the correct Washington for each event.) The 2016 planning spreadsheet link is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c8MZGLtdovIkZNa3B0OusY2ma00Fiu6WR3I… * The document is visible to the general public. Feel free to share the link. * Please refrain from adding anything to the doc that shouldn't be public, like private phone numbers. * Currently, board members and officers of Cascadia Wikimedians have edit permissions for the document. Selected members of likely partner organizations (WMF, Wiki Ed Foundation, WMNY, and WMDC) have permission to post comments in the doc. If anyone needs more permissions than they have, then please email Peaceray or I to request a permissions change. * Planning is in the early stages, and this event is likely to be at least a year from now. Particularly important issues that are still to be determined are: 1. Will OpenStreetMap USA have a joint event with us? 2. Will the Seattle GNU/Linux (SeaGL) Conference have a joint event with us? 3. When will the event take place? 4. Does the UW have the capacity to host the estimated number of attendees during the days that are selected for the conference? More info in the months ahead. Regards, Pine

Wikipedia in Education

Food for thought. Could we collaborate with similar programs at UW and OHSU in a few years? https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tec-de-monterrey-student-activiti… Pine

Alfredo?
by Joe Mabel 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

May I assume "Café Alfredo" is meant to read "Café Allegro"? Because I don't know a Café Alfredo in Seattle. (Also, I plan to be out of town 2nd week of August, but I will make the July 27 thing.)

VisualEditor tutorial videos
by Pine W 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hi Cascadians, You may recall that we discussed setting up tutorial videos for VE. Victor is working on a simple one for WMF, and I'm thinking that we can present short videos about intermediate-level topics like talk pages, article quality assessments, COI, Wikiprojects, privacy, and more advanced editing features like tables and image uploads. Stay tuned, Pine
