My fellow Wiki-Americans,
I would like to share this grant proposal from our northern friends, who we
collectively selected to host WikiConference North America 2020 in Toronto,
after 2019 in Boston/Cambridge:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/WMCA/WikiConference_North…
Hope you all had a positive experience in Boston/Cambridge, and I have
every confidence that Wikimedia Canada can even exceed this in 2020!
Please share your input on the grant proposal above, this us where they are
asking the WMF for funding to bring the whole North American wiki-community
together again this fall.
Thanks,
Richard

Fellow Wiki-Americans,
I'd like to share this proposal, which would make it rather more difficult
to put up WikipediaDay-like centralnotice banners:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Reclaiming…
I believe this would make the work of geographically-based community
usergroups much harder, especially in promoting attendance at annual
flagship events like Wikipedia Day.
Would appreciate your input as members of local usergroups!
Thanks,
Richard

Hi fellow Wiki-Americans,
If you are planning any kind of Wikipedia Day meetup, whether in Jan, Feb,
or whenever, please post something to the wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day
We can put up a centrlnotice banner for your state and get you lots of new
attendees, but we need at least a week's notice for it to be effective.
Wikipedia Day events don't have to be exactly in January, or even February,
and can be a mini-conference with cake, an editathon with cake, or even
just a cake celebration at the local pub, as long as it has a "Wikipedia
Day" theme.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi US Wikimedians,
Notes are from the December 2019 online meeting are available on Meta at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WALRUS/December_2019#Notes. Participants
are welcome to make corrections or additions as needed, especially to
information that they shared themselves.
Regarding how people are identified in the meeting notes, some people in
the meeting shared both their real names and their usernames. Although the
meeting was public, I decided to err on the side of caution by identifying
people in the notes in a way that is more limited than what people shared
in the meeting. If people want to share more identifying information
(including location information) about themselves, such as by linking their
name in the notes to their username or vice versa, they are welcome to do
that. Please refrain from posting additional identifying or location
information about other people on Meta unless you are very sure that they
are OK with that, because if you over-share information about someone
else's identity or location then you may get yourself blocked and/or expose
other people to unwanted attention.
Best wishes,
Pine
