Hey all,

After some discussion at WikiConference USA, there was some movement among Wikimedians in the Pacific Northwest toward forming a formal user group affiliated with the WMF. 

The discussion is ongoing and taking place here: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cascadia_Wikimedians#Sign_on_to_be_a_Founding_Member_of_Cascadia_Wikimedians>. We've also been discussing what precisely our name should be, going forward: <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cascadia_Wikimedians#Our_name>.

Check both out! And all the best for your guys' summers.

Best,
Roman
