If Keilana can come to Seattle, I think a good time for a workshop with her
would be prior to, or in conjuction with, the edit-a-thon that is in
planning for early 2015 at UW.
Some info about Wikiconference USA 2015: Harej says that WMDC is willing to
be the fiscal sponsor for the event anywhere in the US, and he is in
discussions about setting up a team of organizers. The location is still to
be determined. I like the idea of co-locating the event with the
OpenStreetMap event at the United Nations in NYC, as well as the idea of
co-locating the event with a librarian conference in San Francisco. More

Emily,
First, I am not sure what happened with [Wikimedia Cascadia], but there
were a
number of emails that were delayed until this evening including
yours. Forgive us therefore for not responding to you sooner.
Second, others will need to weigh in, but in MHO, I think that the best
means would
be to have someone come to us _and_ sessions at WikiConf. I
think that between edit-a-thons that have been held in Portland, OR,
interest in doing edit-a-thons in the Seattle area, & professors at
University of Washington who have had students edit Wikipedia as part of
the class, I think that there would be more effective to have you come from
DC than to have a few of us come from Seattle.
Third, I think that having sessions at WikiConf USA is an excellent idea
that would
benefit us nationally. From what I hear, it is likely that
2015's WikiConf USA may well be a follow-on to Wiki Education Foundation's
efforts. If this is true, I think that training in best practices of
workshop facilitation would be a natural fit.
Yours,
Peaceray

discussing several options for this, including coming to you all, having
some of you come to DC for one of our formal sessions, or attending
sessions at WikiConf USA. Who would be interested and what format do you
think would work for you?
