Hi Renee,

I heard that you are the event coordinator for Wikiconference USA. Thank you for taking this role.

Here in Seattle, our meetings are usually on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, with occasional additional events. If you want input from us as a group, you can email us your question or you can ask to participate remotely at our meetings.

Please feel free to ask other Cascadians for their input or to take conference leadership roles. I am currently very occupied with two jobs, one of which is a WMF internship. When the internship ends in February, I might have a little time to assist with the wikiconference.

I have voluntered to write a modestly sized pre-conference Qualtrics survey for potential Wikiconference USA participants in February. Please let me know if such a survey sounds like a good idea.

I would encourage you and the organizing team to make decisions soon about the dates of the conference and the general tracks or themes of the conference, and begin to market the conference soon after that. A Qualtrics survey might assist with making those decisions.

Other Cascadians may have comments or questions for you.

Thanks again for taking on the role of event planner. It sounds like WikiEd will support the conference in a number of ways. That is much appreciated.
