Cascadia Wikimedians application for 501(c)(3) registration has been filed
by Pine W 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Hi everyone, The attorney who is assisting Cascadia Wikimedians with our 501(c)(3) application informed me today that our application has been submitted to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The IRS sometimes asks questions about applications. Hopefully we will hear back from the IRS within the next few months. (: In the long term there are likely to be important benefits to Cascadia from receiving 501(c)(3) registration, including access to free or discounted products and services, increased ease of independent fundraising, and favorable treatment by government agencies. I am grateful to the Wikimedia Foundation for providing us the funds to enable this step toward our long-term success. Pine

Hi Cascadians and Kacie, Here at the OpenStreetMap "State of the Map US" conference, I'm picking up some ideas for community building that could apply to Wikimedia. I'll organize my notes and prepare them for discussion at the August meetup in Seattle (which is not yet scheduled, but will be soon via a Doodle poll). Regards, Pine

We have time available in the agenda for a couple of additional items, so feel free to add subjects for discussion. Just a note that there was a weak consensus at our last meetings to (1) refrain from recording these meetings for the time being but (2) have detailed minutes. We may revisit this question again in the future. I hope to see you at the meeting. The Zoom meeting link will be forthcoming.

Fwd: OpenCon 2016 Scholarships for Wikimedians (Apply by July 11)
by Lane Rasberry 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hello, This message might be crossposted elsewhere but I wanted to share it with the Cascadia group because I know there is special interest in open access and academic openness in Cascadia. OpenCon has not been historically themed for all open projects, but instead, has been heavy on academic research and journals. If anyone in Cascadia feels that attending this might be right, apply now, because applications close in a few days. yours, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nick Shockey <nick(a)sparcopen.org> Date: Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 10:03 PM Subject: OpenCon 2016 Scholarships for Wikimedians (Apply by July 11) To: Hello! You're receiving this message because you mentioned an interest in Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects in your application to attend OpenCon 2015. We've submitted a project & events grant proposal to the Wikimedia Foundation to support the attendance of 8 representatives of the Wikimedia community at this year's OpenCon conference in Washington, DC. The grant is now open for review, and we would welcome your comments on the proposal and, if you're supportive, your endorsement as well. You can find the proposal at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/SPARC/OpenCon_2016 Support from the community will help ensure the proposal is fully funded. Most importantly, I hope you'll consider applying to OpenCon again this year, if you haven't already. We think it's important to build strong bridges between the Wikimedia community and the Open Access, Open Data, and Open Education communities—for the benefit of both. If this grant proposal is successful, we will be able to ensure a robust Wikimedia presence at this year's OpenCon, and we hope you'll submit an application to be considered. *Applications close this coming Monday, July 11, so be sure to apply soon!* You can find this year's application at https://secure.opencon2016.org/referral/wiki and if you mention Wikipedia or Wikimedia in your application, it will automatically be flagged for consideration for this block of scholarships, if supported by the Wikimedia Foundation (even if you've already applied). Also, please share this call for applications with any other Wikimedians who might be interested! All the best, Nick -- Lane Rasberry user:bluerasberry on Wikipedia 206.801.0814 lane(a)bluerasberry.com
