Hey all, for anyone who's interested and hasn't necessarily gotten around to it, general reminder that submissions and scholarship applications are due tomorrow. So if you're like me and haven't submitted anything yet and/or applied for a scholarship and want to, do these now!
If you haven't done this before, proposal submissions are talks/panels/workshops for basically anything we might see at any other Wikimedia event, but also especially stuff applicable to local groups and whatnot. Like what have we even been doing as a group?
And if you're wondering if you should apply for a scholarship, the answer is yes. They're very straight forward, you just get 500$ to figure out your own trip and that should cover most of it, and if you do anything at all, you're probably in the running for getting one. If you're subscribed to this list, you probably do something. If you're an academic, you also have a more academia-style option to look into.
As a side note, in the past I may have mentioned how we should maybe try combining the photo road trip idea with getting people to this conference, but this was before I realised just how far away Ohio really is. I thought it was close to Colorado! It's not! This one's further away than San Diego! But even if that's not necessarily feasible for this, we should still totally look into doing that sort of road trip at some point, hint hint. Maybe if some of us meet up at the conference, we could plan something then? I dunno.

Columbus isn't a terrible drive, looks like about 1200 miles. I'd probably stop somewhere in Missouri for one night.

How many pictures can you get on the way? Because you should totally still do that if you can.
Sadly even if we decided it was worth the distance, it's probably too late to actually organise something bigger at this point. But what do you think?

I'll have to take a better look at the route tonight. Hopefully there will be something good along the way.
Doing it over two days would leave about nine hours of driving a day, so that would certainly leave time for a few photo stops.
