Just a quick note to say thanks to Phoebe and Eugene and Jay and Jon and everyone else who contributed to the 10th celebrations on Saturday! (I know I'm missing lots of people who worked on the conference and the party: please forgive me; I'm grateful to you all :-) It was all really fabulous and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Great to see Ward and other old friends, and it's always nice to meet new ones too. Thanks for making it such a great event! Sue Sent from my phone: please forgive any typos or terseness.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] [Wikimedia-california] Wikimania Bidding 2012
by Jon Davis 18 Jan '11

We (the SF group) have actually talked about doing before, we just wanted to have a dry run for it first. That dry run just so happens to be today and is the West Coast Wikiconference [1]. Seeing is how this "little" shindig oversold by 30% or so, and was really done in a month by Phoebe & Eugene, I think we could do a Wikimania -Jon [1] http://2011.westcoastwikicon.org/wiki/Main_Page On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 23:36, Joseph Seddon <seddonwiki(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Wikimedia California mailing list, > > Earlier this month the bidding for Wikimania 2012 opened and I wanted to > encourage your community to consider submitting a bid.

Hi! I'm interesting in Saturday WikiConference ride/parking share. I'm living in San Jose, but any place to meet not far from freeways to San Francisco is fine for me. Please reply privately to avoid littering mailing list :-) Eugene.

West Coast WikiConference: Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary
by phoebe ayers 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Dear Wikimedia-SF, I'm so excited about the West Coast WikiConference happening this weekend, January 15! We are very pleased to have two fabulous speakers lined up: Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki, and Kevin Kelly, co-founder of "Wired" magazine. We plan a day-long event of speakers and open space sessions, followed by a special birthday party for Wikipedia hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation (offsite at GAFFTA). The conference is filling up quickly -- we are at over 2/3 of our absolute maximum capacity for the venue! THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS THIS WEDNESDAY. You can register on Eventbrite: http://wcwc2011.eventbrite.com If you are planning to come, please register ASAP so we can plan the food etc. There is also a scholarship for current project contributors who can't afford the ticket; please let me know (by sending your situation and your username) if you are interested in this. Additionally, we are looking for on-site volunteers to help with registration etc. Let me know directly at phoebe.ayers(a)gmail.com if you can help. Thanks! Phoebe -- support Wikimedia: http://donate.wikimedia.org
