Cascadians,
I'm happy to say that WMF approved our most recent grant request. You can see the request here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Cascadia_Wikimedians_User_Group/4Q_2015_and_CY2016_grant and accompanying discussion here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:PEG/Cascadia_Wikimedians_User_Group/4Q_2015_and_CY2016_grant .
Notes:
* The grant funds portions of our 2015 expenses, in addition to our known 2016 expenses. * We may file supplemental requests going forward in 2016 as our plans crystallize. * We will need to be a little more active in gathering data and producing reports going forward. * The grant includes funding for registering as a 501(c)(3) organization. * The grant includes funding for transportation cost reimbursements such as bus fares and tolls. (Note that documentation will need to be provided to get reimbursement.) * The grant includes funding for a camera and camcorder to be used at our events. Equipment will be available for loan to members; contributions to Commons with the equipment will be tracked.
Looking into the first quarter of 2016, we are working on plans to have a series of four workshops with at least one GLAM institution, possibly focusing on the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Luke_Museum_of_the_Asian_Pacific_American_Experience .
I hope to see you at the upcoming members' meeting on December 13. More info about that is coming soon, hopefully by tomorrow at the latest. I'm waiting for a certain piece of information.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I also welcome questions and comments from WMF grants officer Kacie Harold who is our current point of contact for WMF funding.
Regards,
Pine
Congrats on the grant! That's very exciting.
Monika.
