Yeah, without pharos, I think we all would have missed this, so props to him for the constant reminders and forwards and all the help keeping this group actually going.

And awesome, Neal. I'm interested as well, but if we can get someone else (Todd? Other organisers?), I'd be happy to defer.

Hey, all:

Apparently Wikimedians of Colorado User Group can send two people to the Berlin Wikimedia Conference this year, and the deadline for registration is tomorrow (15 January) at 16:00 localtime! Because we totally suck at this, we need to figure out who to send probably... tonight? If anyone is interested in actually sorting out what's needed that quickly, you can likely just go, but we do need to coordinate that now.

So who all is interested? Again, this needs to happen with as much immediacy as possible.

• We indeed are eligible, per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Eligibility_Criter...

and as a group two thing they're still paying for it out of conference budget, so that's not a concern for us

• Registration itself: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Registration_Infor...
• I think if you're up for sorting this out as last minute as this,

it's probably good enough for https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Program_Design_Pro...

Though to be clear, I can pay my own way well enough. I do not want to use up one of the sponsored slots, I don't need it. So if anyone else does need a sponsored one, please do apply for it.

All right, so it looks like we've got these nominations:

* Neal McBurnett * Todd Allen * Abhay Natu * Isarra Yos

Going off memory, Neal was instrumental in helping set up and running training at at least two of the three editathons last year, and I think Abhay and Todd were also there to help out for at least one of them. Abhay was our delegate last year, so he knows well what the process is and could follow up on anything from the last time, though I'm not really sure what was brought back in practice. I think Todd was planning to follow up on the road trip grant possibility, but dunno if that ever went anywhere. I try to help coordinate things in general as well and make sure stuff actually goes to the mailing list.

As cool as it'd be to include Stephen (annual wiknic host), as Spencer suggested, or Gaurav (who, in particular, wrote the annual report that kept us even eligible, as well as generally helping coordinate everything even from florida), or one of the edithathon organisers, lacking their direct involvement here it's kind of too late to try coordinating that.

Thoughts? Spencer's put in a vote already, so I suppose everyone else on-list might as well just go ahead and do that too?

Are we allowed to send extra people, outside the sponsored delegates? I was under the impression it was as much about numbers in general as costs.
