Seeking volunteers for chair and secretary roles at monthly US meetings
by Pine W 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Hi US Wikimedians, If you're a regular participant in our monthly meetings and would be willing to serve as chair or secretary for a meeting, please email me off list. I am trying to rotate these duties so that no one is stuck in a position and so that people have the opportunity to take turns. Being chair mainly involves welcoming people and keeping everyone on time with the scheduled agenda. Being secretary involves taking notes that will be published to Meta. Thanks! Pine

Hi all, Here is this month's Doodle poll for scheduling our July meeting: http://doodle.com/poll/r34gpzp8kbgcx9da Times are shown in Pacific by default, so please be sure to convert if you're in a different time zone. The earliest time slot shown is 5 PM Pacific which is 8 PM Eastern, and the latest time slot shown is 6:30 PM Pacific which is 9:30 PM Eastern. This seems to reflect the range in which we get the most participants. A tentative agenda is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WALRUS/July_2016. You are welcome to add items to the agenda; please include your username if you do so. Thanks! Pine

Forwarding. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Carlos M. Colina" <maorx(a)wikimedia.org.ve> Date: Jul 26, 2016 04:30 Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of Ohio Wikimedians User Group To: <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Dear all, On behalf of the Affiliations Committee, I am glad to announce the recognition of the newest Wikimedia User Group in the United States: Ohio Wikimedians User Group [1]. Their focus of activities is in the state of Ohio, supporting and helping develop the local community of wikimedians. It is worth noting that some of the founding members of the group have been members of Wikipedia Connection[2], a Ohio State University student organization devoted to contribute to Wikipedia, who have been joined by other wikimedians from Ohio to create this new User Group.

Cascadia Wikimedians application for 501(c)(3) registration has been filed
by Pine W 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Hi everyone, The attorney who is assisting Cascadia Wikimedians with our 501(c)(3) application informed me today that our application has been submitted to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The IRS sometimes asks questions about applications. Hopefully we will hear back from the IRS within the next few months. (: In the long term there are likely to be important benefits to Cascadia from receiving 501(c)(3) registration, including access to free or discounted products and services, increased ease of independent fundraising, and favorable treatment by government agencies. I am grateful to the Wikimedia Foundation for providing us the funds to enable this step toward our long-term success. Pine

05 Jul '16

Hi Wiki-Americans, The Great American Wiknic is the annual "picnic anyone can edit" being held on weekend dates in July 2016 in cities across the United States, with local organization of each event. See details here: http://wiknic.org/ Wiknics are: *Easy to organize, even for old Wikipedians *Welcoming to everyone, even for new Wikipedians *Fun! Please add info about your event here ASAP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic#Great_American_Wiknic_picnic… We'll try to get the banners up by Thursday, so it would be beneficial to get preliminary event info up before then. And let me know if you have any questions about organizing in your city/region. Thanks, Pharos
