Sounds alright to me. I'd love to go to Berlin, but really can't spare any
time to travel right now.

Or something like 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!

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
