 Yes - I'm interested!  I was going to go to the Wikimedia Developer Summit in San
Francisco this month to continue to get more involved with the AI and machine learning
work, but election-integrity-related stuff has poured over into the new year, so I
can't swing that.

Aw, shoot. I’ve heard those are a lot of fun! I’m hoping to be released from my PhD and
able to attend WikiConference USA 2017, so maybe I’ll see you there instead!

...
  I think the candidates should describe their
involvement, goals and plans in a few paragraphs, and we should go from there. 
Sounds good to me! Whoever wants to go first should set up a subpage at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group so this isn’t just
happening on the mailing list. Should we set January 6 as a deadline to have these in? 

Judging these entries will also be tricky. I can volunteer to judge them, but I wouldn’t
want to be the ONLY judge, so if nobody else volunteers to judge, we might end up randomly
choosing an entry after all. But I like the idea of candidates having to set out why
they’d like to go, what they’ll do in Berlin and how that will benefit WM-US-CO.

cheers,
Gaurav

  Okay, yay, two candidates! Any more any more?

 Also, any ideas on how we could pick one? Would anybody be interested in a vote? We could
run that at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group —
otherwise, once all the applicants are in, we could just pick one at random at
https://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php. Let me know what you think!

 cheers,
 Gaurav

 Representation in such events will raise our profile and help grow membership.

 I can also do this but will defer to another candidate if needed.

 I could do it, but I really don't know if I'd be the best person.
 Perhaps someone who's more active in organising actual events and
 whatnot? Or who even knows who that would be...

  Hullo!

 Wikimedia Conference 2017 [1] will take place in Berlin, Germany, from
 March 31 to April 2, 2017; it's a chance for Wikimedia organizations
 (such as us!) to meet and discuss plans for pushing the Wikimedia
 movement forward around the word. According to the Eligibility List
 [2], it looks like the Wikimedians of Colorado User Group [3] (such as
 us!) can send ONE person to Berlin to represent us. I think
 accommodation and airfare are paid for either by the Wikimedia
 Foundation or WMDE [4].

 Anybody interested in going? Check out the questions on the
 application form [5] and send an e-mail to the group letting us know
 your interest. If more than one person is interested, we can vote on
 it or something, but let's see who's interested to begin with. The
 hard deadline for registering for the conference is January 8, so I'd
 like to have a final decision on who we want to send by January 6 at
 the latest. If there's a lack of response we might decide earlier than
 that, so if you're AT ALL interested, please let all of us know ASAP!

 Happy holidays, everybody!

 cheers,
 Gaurav
