Hi everyone,
Please add your input to the discussion at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cascadia_Wikimedians#User_group_name.
I am hoping that selecting a name is our last hurdle before getting user
group recognition.
After that we will need to get our legal issues in order. I think there is
agreement to incorporate in Washington State which is relatively easy, but
after that we will need to select board members and officers and write some
basic bylaws. AffCom may be able to assist us with this, and I am also
hoping that we can borrow bylaws that have been developed by the New York
and Washington DC chapters.
But first, please help to select a name!

We're meeting at the UW campus, same location as last month: UW CSE

google when you search for "3785 Benton Ln, Seattle, WA 98105". If
doors are locked after hours, we'll have someone at this main entrance
to let people in. The elevators are on the left, once you exit the
elevator on the fourth floor, 403 is on your left about 20 feet.
This month we have Jonathan Morgan of Wikimedia Foundation giving an
introduction to Wikipedia, an essential skill for modern citizens.
We also have Professor Ryan Calo of the Tech Policy Lab, speaking on
Privacy!

I told Wikimedia-l in our report that "...the Seattle event... featured 13
people, a quadcopter, foods based on recipes from multiple continents, and
a wide range of intelligent and enjoyable conversation."
Thanks for coming, everyone, and I hope many of us will meet again at the
August regular monthly meeting.

I have received an email from Affcom. I'm waiting for their permission to
post it to Meta for us to review and discuss as a group. As you might
expect they have some questions for us but I feel good about the direction
of the conversation. (:
