I have been to this conference once (2017), so if someone new wants to get a taste, I will defer to them.
I will add my name as a backup so we don't go unrepresented.
Thank you all.

Thanks Gaurav and Neil! You guys are basically why we still have a group
- I was planning to send out an email or something earlier but then got
swamped in travel, and went offline for a few days in the Oregon hills, so... yeah. You made it actually happen, which is kind of really important.
I notice nobody's added themselves yet. I recommend Neil or anyone who actually likes weird meta conferences, discussing strategy, and being a bit baffled by all the overly process-y process. Process for the sake of process, if anything. Quite entertaining if you either take it seriously and enjoy that sort of thing, or don't take it at all seriously and enjoy that sort of thing.
As the latter, I had a lot of fun with it last time (I think), but I probably shouldn't go two years in a row because that would be a bit weird and I wasn't even in-state most of the year this year anyway and missed most of the events (or at least one of them) and I'm not sure they'd want me there anyway after what I might have done last time on account of all the cold medicine. I don't actually know what I did. I basically got like four hours of sleep the entire week up to it, spent the whole thing completely zonked out still unable to sleep because my stupid cold just Would Not Let Me, and then... I don't know! Good times. I think.
So yeah. We gotta get on this! Deadline might be in just a few hours.
Go go go! Or we can just decide over email, but we gotta do something.

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!

With that in mind, we have about hour and a half to propose an alternate candidate. I will go ahead and register at 3:30 pm mountain (in about one hour) if I don't see an email.
If you're not able to email, you can also call me at seven-19 6-four-8, 549-two(number obfuscated to protect from basic email-scrapers :-/ ) to intercept my registration. As I said earlier, new folks are *more* than welcome to go!

Hi everybody!
I’d like to nominate Isarra to go again. I remember she was pretty sick during the conference last year, so I think she should get a chance to experience it while not ill.
I’ve checked with her, and she’s fine with attending this year if she’s chosen. My internet is pretty iffy right now: could someone please add her submission from last year and add me as a vote for her? Thanks so much!
In other news, I’m going to be in Boulder for Christmas and New Years this year, so if anybody’s around, we should organize a meetup or something!
Cheers, Gaurav

Thank you, Abhay, for entering your candidate info, and for registering, in case the deadline was today.
Sorry I wasn't back at my email until just now.
I still don't know what the deadline is. I and others have asked Cornelius, but haven't heard back.
I visited the registration page just now, and it is still functioning, so either the deadline is tomorrow, or they're accepting late registrations, or they're misleading us....
I'm fine with either Abhay or Isarra representing us. And I still have interest in going myself, but I can defer to folks who are more engaged....
Perhaps we can wait to hear more about the deadline, and whether anyone else is out-of-the-loop but interested.
