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

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
<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

Of the best-suited to represent Colorado Wikimedians, it may very well
indeed be the most fierce of competitions between Neal and Gaurav, as
Neal has obviously made significant contributions to Wikipedia's
infrastructure while Gaurav has obviously made significant
contributions to Wikipedia's content. I vote to send them both
disguised as one person?
If you are curious as to why my response is all the way down here,
it's because I encountered this very interesting SuperUser answer
<http://superuser.com/a/229722/184651> recently.
