# PARKING
The cheapest parking would be parking on the street around Wells Fargo building at 999 Third Ave. The second cheapest option is an ABM parking structure at 714 First Ave which is supposed to be a flat rate of $6. You're also able to pay for parking under the Wells Fargo building, the entrance is on the north side (Madison St). Or take the bus!
# BUILDING & FLOOR ACCESS
We're waiting to receive confirmation on building and elevator access. Surf Incubator is located on the 7th floor (the whole floor). Two large doors will be open as soon as you get off the elevator; walk through those doors, take a left and head into the cafe.
If you have problems getting in, please call Christian @ 206-747-9220.
# FLASH TALK PREPARATION
If needed, Surf has large flat screen televisions that have HDMI inputs.
I'll send out the last bit of updates before Monday. Cheers!

Hello everyone!
Monday, December 15th is two weeks away! This meeting is special because two local groups are coming together: Seattle TA3M and the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group will have a joint holiday party. The meeting space of this event will be held in downtown Seattle at Surf Incubator, located at:
WELLS FARGO BUILDING 999 Third Ave. Suite 700 Seattle, WA 98104
Surf is a start-up incubator, and the time/space is being donated by a couple of donations (including Surf). Parking and access instructions will be emailed out within the following week.
My proposed schedule is currently:
6:30-7:00 ... Welcome & eat 7:00-8:00 ... Flash talks (6-12 talks pending) 8:00-9:00 ... Wikimedia IdeaLab: Editing w/ Tor discussion 9:00-9:30 ... Social + PGP key-signing
Food, probably pizza, and a selection of natural sodas will be provided.
If you would like to hahve a 5 or 10 minute flash talk, please sign up using this Google doc: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18n6zddEPldPtpvw0yU2NnF3x4kRLJlCfxcwbzjGHffc...
Lane Rasberry graciously wrote a Wikimedia IdeaLab page for, one day, hopefully, editing Wikipedia via the Tor network (below). I will be giving a brief talk about the history behind this issue, then as a group we should discuss the various options, pros, cons, and document them on the page to push this issue forward. This meeting is a rare opportunity where Wikimedian's and privacy/security experts will be getting together! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_156#Proposal:_Cr...
Because of space and food budget limitations, we are limiting the event to 50 participants. Please be sure to indicate if you are willing to provide a lightning talk of 5 or 10 minutes about a topic related to open source or information privacy/security. When registrations are confirmed, further information will be emailed to you at the email address that you send through the Google form.
Cheers!
Christopher
