Hi all,
Here's an update on the status of West Coast WikiConference planning! This is part 1: about the venue. I'll be sending Part 2: about the budget soon.
After doing a fair amount of online research into various venues, last month during our meeting a small group of us went to tour the Women's Building in the Mission District of SF. It seems like an appropriately sized, affordable and fun space that could work well for us. Eugene called them and put a hold in for the days of Jan 15 & 16, but haven't put a deposit down.
VENUE VOTE:
Since we don't have a "planning committee" per se can everyone interested in WikiConf planning check out the details on the venue page:
http://2011.westcoastwikicon.org/wiki/Venue
And indicate if you are ok with using the Women's Building, or if you have objections? If there seems to be consensus I think we should go ahead with declaring this our venue so we can start making other plans.
best, Phoebe

A good reminder: I followed up with both The Women's Building and The California Endowment, and updated the wiki accordingly:

The short summary: TCE is out, but The Women's Building is still in, and they have us tentatively down for January 15 and 16 (although we have to put down a $700 deposit to make it official).
Steven, any updates on the East Bay Community Foundation building?

We need to schedule a meeting.
We have some stuff to discuss with the WikiConference West Coast. It's now late August, and January is just around the corner.
I'm sure there are some other things we can talk about too, perhaps discuss the WikiConference NYC, and how it wen this time? :)
Maybe we should meet up in the East Bay. How does Berkeley sound?

If those of you that have called/visited like it (the womens building), then I'm all for rolling with it. The only worry I have is our ability to secure funding. It is a fair amount of money for one weekend, just for the space.
