Where would everyone like to have Seattle Wiknic this
year? The
scheduled date is June 22.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic
Wiknics have happened at Golden Gardens and Gasworks Park in the
past. This year I would like to propose that we meet at the
Arboretum,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Park_Arboretum,
with an exact location in the Arboretum to be determined. It is
possible to rent the Visitors Center and if the cost is reasonable
we could ask to rent part of the center for the afternoon, which
would also provide us some cover in the event of rain and give us
enough room to have laptops etc available for us to do outreach. We
could ask for a small grant from WMF to cover the costs.
What does everyone think?
This date coincides with the Fremont Soltice Festival and Honk! Fest
West which I was planning on attending and have guests coming into
town for. As a result, I'm not sure I could come. Of course, every day
will conflict with something so this isn't a reason not to do it
then. June 22nd sounds like a pretty good day. :)
The conflict with the Soltice Festival probably *is* a reason to avoid
Gasworks though. The Arboretum sounds lovely.
Regards,
Mako
