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

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...
