Thanks, Lane! Greetings, all!

I should point out that in addition to the Hollywood photography campaign, we are also collecting images of Portland's bid culture for the month of May:

During June, we will be photographing Portland's LGBT culture and history:

Finally, a date and venue are still TBD, but there are plans to host an LGBT edit-a-thon on June 21 as part of Wiki Loves Pride 2014, an international effort to improve LGBT-related content on Wikimedia projects. See this page for details:

Needless to say, participation would also be welcome in Seattle.  Any Seattle residents interested?

Glad to finally have a mailing list. Perhaps we should share the link at WikiProjects Oregon and Washington, too?
