Hi folks,
We'll meet on Thursday, April 28 at 5 PM Pacific / 8 PM Eastern.
* We will try a meeting tool called Zoom instead of Google Hangouts. The
participant cap will be 50 people (: Please sign up for an account on
www.zoom.us and then take a look at
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362033-Getting-Started-on-PC-a…
* We'll use the Zoom time limit of 40 minutes to encourage ourselves to be
efficient with time. With that goal in mind, here's our tentative agenda:
5:00-5:15: Introductions and reports from chapters and groups. We'll divide
the time evenly. Please plan to have 1 minute per group, and please prepare
your intro and report ahead of time. :) If there is extra time then we can
have Q&A and discussion.
5:15-5:20: Discussion of possible Wiki Loves Earth campaign in the United
States See http://wikilovesearth.org.
5:20-5:30: WikiConference USA 2016 planning. See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Cascadia_Wikimedians/WikiConfere…
5:30-5:35 Wiknic 2016 planning. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic.
5:35-5:40 Next steps, and gather feedback about the meeting format

Hi folks,
In an effort to make scheduling easier for everyone, I set up an unofficial
public calendar for US Wikimedia events:
http://localendar.com/public/Wikimedia_US
Nice features:
* You can add events as you wish, which will appear on the public calendar
once an admin approves the posts. Feel free to add events from local
affiliates. Please note the location of each event *in the name of the
event*. If an event is online/virtual, you can say "online".
* You can click on an event, which will create a popup that will let you
export the event to your choice of calendar formats.
There's no obligation to post events here, but I hope that this tool will
be convenient for everyone. This is an experiment and comments are welcome.

Hi US Wikimedians,
If you're interested in joining the April 2016 meeting of the US Wikimedia
Consortium, please go here to indicate your scheduling availability:

The meeting will likely be between 30 and 60 minutes long.
We meet via Google Hangouts video. Please note that Google will
automatically limit attendance to the first 10 people to join the meeting.
If this becomes a problem then we can talk with WMF about alternate
solutions for video meetings.
Notes from the meeting will be published for everyone to view afterwards.
Notes from our previous meeting are at

Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might want to attend!
