Phoebe - (& Pete)

wasn't sure if you're e-mail meant that I am also now unsubscribed from the -- San Francisco Bay Area Wikimedians <wikimedia-sf@lists.wikimedia.org> -- list?

If so, I'll sign up again.

also, I'll be glad to help as a meeting facilitator (my former career before World Peacemaker!) and to plan/organize the meeting. I still have a few thoughts for improvement from the Wiki 10th event.

Best,

John M. O’Connell

Dear Mr. Parker,

Welcome to the list -- and, your vote of confidence in a west coast wiki
conference is very encouraging. I'm very glad to hear the idea appeals to

you!

Judging from past RCC efforts, the first important step is to build some
consensus for a vision, including a strong local volunteer base in a

specific city, venue ideas, event format, etc.

If you have ideas around that, please jump in with them! Or, if you're
purely interested as a potential funder, that is very welcome news; but it

will take a little time before we have a coherent proposal to bring to you.
We will certainly get back in touch if and when plans start to firm up!

Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] Time for a wiki conference on the west coast?

Hey all,

Recently, the idea of a RecentChangesCamp in Portland, San Francisco,
Seattle, or elsewhere on the west coast has popped up on the RCC-planning
mailing list.

For those who don't know, RCC is one of the longer-standing wiki
conferences, and has been held in Portland more than anywhere else. The last
Portland one was in 2008; it's also been held in Montreal (x2), Camberra,

Australia (x2), Boston, and Palo Alto.

I think it's fantastic that this community remembers Portland so fondly,
and is so interested in having a conference there. And there's clearly a

very fertile soil in SF as well. From past experience, this conference only
happens if there is strong local will to pull it off. But if that exists,
there is a good core, international group of volunteers who will help out,

and provide insights from past events.

At the same time, it seems to me that the wiki world has evolved since RCC
was first held. There are now several similar models, including the

WikiConference (the Wikimedia movement's name for regional conferences; one
was held last year in San Francisco); WikiSym (an academic conference about
online collaboration, which has grown to include an Open Space component

like RCC). Also, the PortlandWiki grown up since the last one, and has found
some solid allies and beneficiaries in independent groups like Occupy and
Portland Afoot.

So, my question is: do people feel like putting together a wiki conference
in 2012? And is RCC a good model for doing that?

I'd highly recommend joining the RCC-planning email list and discussing

there, so that we don't get separate discussions
going. https://groups.google.com/group/rcc-planning

-Pete

p.s. As an aside, I recently set up an IRC channel : #wikimedia-westcoast.
While I know that many of you are more "wiki" people than "Wikimedia"
people, I hope this is a useful tool for networking -- if you're an IRC

user, please join us and say hi sometime!
