This is a page for organizing WikiConference USA 2015 volunteers!

=Media to-do list=

CentralNotice
Belongs to: ???

To-do: Can someone draft a central notice announcement (please draft it here) to announce the launch of the event and registration? It should run starting Sept. 1, and target logged-in users in the USA and Canada.
 * - do you not do this routinely?  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  23:23, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Noticeboards
Belongs to: ???

Due by: August 5. To help spread the word and get submissions rolling, it would be nice to have a big push go out this week or next.

To-do: I think we'd like to see volunteers talk about the conference on Noticeboards and encourage users to apply for scholarships or to propose presentations at will. Can everyone agree to "adopt" a noticeboard to share the news and monitor it for questions? Please list your name below and link to the noticeboard(s) you'll write to.
 * Are we mass posting to a set by bot, or personally inviting noticeboards? I will personally invite a few which I choose but first I want confirmation that no one intends to target them as a group.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  23:25, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 *  Blue Rasberry  What do you think is best? Personally I'd rather see personal invites to boards and groups and let the other notices take care of the others. The noticeboards related to specific tracks for presentations would probably be best to target individually. If, however, everyone agrees that we could be better served by an automated noticeboard post, we could arrange that, too. Eryk (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I have signaled some groups and will do others.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  15:38, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Mailing lists
Belongs to: ???

Due by: August 5. To help spread the word and get submissions rolling, it would be nice to have a big push go out this week or next.

To-do: Similar to the Noticeboards, who can make similar notices to the various mailing lists about WikiConference USA? I'm happy to adopt the Wikimedia-l list if no one else wants to; I can also tackle the education list. If you know people in other regions please reach out to them, as well. Please sign your name and your adopted mailing list below!


 * User:Eryk (Wiki Ed): Wikimedia-l, Wikimedia Education, Wikimedia Boston
 * medicine, LGBT, Cascadia, research, and some open/free organization lists of which I am already a member.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  23:22, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
