Peaceray and all:
This is my first post to this list, glad to be here. I would really like
to work with WSU and its librarians to do some WP stuff on campus and in
the community. I'm happy for the resource of the Cascadia group. I'm also
happy to serve as the main organizer for a joint U-Dub/Wazzu event. I have
an email out to one of the librarians suggesting that we hold an event next
semester, but I haven't heard back from her yet. I'll suggest the joint
event as we communicate more.
As far as travel from Seattle to the west side: Remember, WSU is in
Pullman, which is another 1 1/2 hour drive from Spokane. If you fly into
Spokane, you'd have to drive here. You could also fly into the Pullman
Airport, which is small and more expensive. You could also fly into
Lewiston, ID which is a 45 min. drive from Pullman. I suggest the Spokane
Airport.
I'll keep you posted as things develop.

I would be interested, I may also have a rapport with
the the librarians
that Christine mentioned in the other thread,[Wikimedia Cascadia]
[Gendergap] Look who's in the paper!! :), having been a part-time reference
librarian at Hawaii Pacific Library for the last eight years, & having
interned at the Lipponcott Library at the Wharton School of Business a
while back.
On a logistical note, {{As of today}} from Seattle to Spokane appears to
be a 4½ hour drive, $95 round-trip (web only fare) +/- & a 5 ½ hour ride on
Greyhound, & airfares are $150 round-trip courtesy of the Alaska - Delta
fare war (about an hour's flight). Your mileage (& cost) may vary from
elsewhere ...
Yours,
Peaceray

Would there be interest in doing outreach at WSU
to librarians, students,
etc? If there will be a UW edit-a-thon around the January through March
timeframe, perhaps we can have a similar event at WSU with a similar plan?
Another Believer, as an experienced edit-a-thon and outreach person, it
would be great to hear your ideas along with Christine's. I'm hoping that
Christine would agree to be the lead organizer for a WSU event. Any
thoughts? Christine, what sounds good to you?
