Hi all,
I’m inspired by the wiki-activations happening at SXSW this week https://www.wiki.haus/, and the possibility of bringing something similar to the PNW.
I’d love to explore what it would take to make it happen!

I may not have all the answers, mainly questions, but thanks for the suggestions! A major event in Seattle or Portland could be ideal, and connecting with the wiki-folx behind SXSW might help us strategize. How about an exploratory call to gauge interest?

I, for one, have no idea what you mean here by an "exploratory call". To whom, about what? Or is that "call" as in "call for papers"? Or do you mean an online session such as Zoom? Or something else entirely?

Hi Joe,
I’m thinking of a Zoom or Google Meet call with those who are interested, probably just three or four of us to start. It’s an exploratory chat, so there’s no pressure; we might decide to move forward, or we might not. How that sounds?

Hi all,
I’m inspired by the wiki-activations happening at SXSW this week https://www.wiki.haus/, and the possibility of bringing something similar to the PNW.
I’d love to explore what it would take to make it happen!

Hi Joe,
I’m thinking of a Zoom or Google Meet call with those who are interested, probably just three or four of us to start. It’s an exploratory chat, so there’s no pressure; we might decide to move forward, or we might not. How that sounds?

Hi everyone!
Looks like this Friday, April 4th, at 2:00 PM (PST) works best. @Raymond, could you set up a Zoom link and add it to the calendar invite?
Thanks,
