Step up folks! This could be your chance to really dive deep into the Wikimedia movement, and hang out with some of the coolest people on the planet!
Though I'm disappointed that despite my feedback in the past, they are still using the somewhat ambiguous designation "Dec 16 Midnight CET", since our own Wikipedia notes the lack of clear definition:
Though there is no global unanimity on the issue, most often midnight is considered the start of a new day and is associated with the hour 00:00
Thus the worst case (and most likely) scanario is that that means 2019-12-15T23:00 (23:00 or 11 PM on the 15th, UTC, which is 16:00 MST on Sunday the 15th.
Let me know if I once again have made a miscalculation....
Of course it could mean midnight as the end of the day, which has always seemed more natural to me, but I doubt it.
As for who goes, here are a few helpful links re our process in previous years:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group/wmsummit-... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group/wmcon-201...
And we need to leave some time to register, which does take time, and requires answering some thought-provoking questions.
So as in the past, I hope people who put themselves forward can provide at least initial answers to the registration questions on that web page when they put themselves forward.
I've set up a candidate page here with a template for candidates to fill out:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group/wmsummit-...
Please fill it out by the end of the day AoE on Saturday (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe) so we can evaluate and make a selection on Sunday.
Don't be shy!
