Hi everybody!

I just wanted to give you a few updates:

We have preliminary booked a venue (in the same building as our new office).
We found a motel next to it which charge 975 per night (including breakfast and wifi). That would leave each participant receiving a scholarship of around 1,000 SEK (95 euro) for travel.
We are contacting a facilitator about availability as well.

In our application we wrote that the event would take place 17-19 August. However, I was told at the Wikimedia Conference that this might create problems for some to participate. For WMSE's staff September would actually work much better. Would the general consensus be to move the event to a weekend in September instead? Wikimedia Foundation is okay with such a change. Please discuss in your teams and fill out this Doodle to share your preference: https://doodle.com/poll/2tt67n59pyut9gm7 I will let you know the final date on Tuesday 15 May.

Kind regards,

John
