WikiExpedition hike on Memorial Day weekend?
by Pine W 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi folks, I'm wondering if there would be interest in a WikiExpedition hike on Memorial Day weekend. The concept is that we'd do the hike and document/photograph it and the surrounding landmarks, vegetation, wildlife, and other notable elements. We could add this information to Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons, Wikispecies, and Wikimedia projects. Would anyone else be interested? Pine

Wikipedia-themed hats and beanbag chairs
by Pine W 24 Apr '16

Hi folks, Just a heads-up that I'm having a discussion with WMF about the possibility of Cascadia receiving a WMF trademark license to enable the production of Wikipedia-themed hats and beanbag chair covers that can be available for purchase at WikiConference USA 2016. These will probably be optional add-on items when people purchase their conference registrations. There has been a small but enthusiastic discussion on Facebook regarding the proposal for beanbag chairs (: Cheers, Pine

by Pharos 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Hi Cascadians, Lane and Ray had a good call with the WMF last week about funding for WikiConference USA 2016 in Seattle. For next steps, and to show this conference has broad support, we would like to have the interest of people from different backgrounds documented as endorsements on the grant: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Cascadia_Wikimedians/WikiConfere… If you can, please include if you are able to serve on the program committee or as an in-person volunteer, or in any other capacity. Thanks, Pharos

Cross-posting (: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hi folks, We'll meet on Thursday, April 28 at 5 PM Pacific / 8 PM Eastern. * We will try a meeting tool called Zoom instead of Google Hangouts. The participant cap will be 50 people (: Please sign up for an account on www.zoom.us and then take a look at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362033-Getting-Started-on-PC-a… * We'll use the Zoom time limit of 40 minutes to encourage ourselves to be efficient with time.

Please plan to have 1 minute per group, and please prepare your intro and report ahead of time. :) If there is extra time then we can have Q&A and discussion. 5:15-5:20: Discussion of possible Wiki Loves Earth campaign in the United States See http://wikilovesearth.org. 5:20-5:30: WikiConference USA 2016 planning.

Cross-posting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pine W <wiki.pine(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Apr 16, 2016 at 4:45 PM Subject: Wikimedia US public calendar To: "Wikimedians Active in Local Regions of the United States (WALRUS)" < wikimediaus-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Kacie Harold <kharold(a)wikimedia.org>, Winifred Olliff < wolliff(a)wikimedia.org> Hi folks, In an effort to make scheduling easier for everyone, I set up an unofficial public calendar for US Wikimedia events: http://localendar.com/public/Wikimedia_US Nice features: * You can add events as you wish, which will appear on the public calendar once an admin approves the posts. Feel free to add events from local affiliates. Please note the location of each event *in the name of the event*. If an event is online/virtual, you can say "online". * You can click on an event, which will create a popup that will let you export the event to your choice of calendar formats. There's no obligation to post events here, but I hope that this tool will be convenient for everyone. This is an experiment and comments are welcome. Pine
