Dear Wikimedia-SF, <br><br>I&#39;m so excited about the West Coast WikiConference happening this weekend, January 15! We are very pleased to have two fabulous speakers lined up: <br>Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki, and Kevin Kelly, co-founder of &quot;Wired&quot; 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). <br>
<br>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: <a href="http://wcwc2011.eventbrite.com">http://wcwc2011.eventbrite.com</a><br>
<br>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&#39;t afford the ticket; please let me know (by sending your situation and your username) if you are interested in this. <br>
<br>Additionally, we are looking for on-site volunteers to help with registration etc. Let me know directly at <a href="mailto:phoebe.ayers@gmail.com">phoebe.ayers@gmail.com</a> if you can help. <br><br>Thanks! <br>Phoebe <br>
