Memorial Day 2016

 * There will be a Wikimedians hike at Evans Creek Preserve (see http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/evans-creek-preserve. We meet at the *old* trailhead at 12 PM. Please bring cameras and/or tools suitable for taking notes (smartphone, tablet, or pencil and paper notepad). The reports are that there is plenty of wildlife. (You might want to bring bear spray just in case we encounter a bear.) The current weather forecast is for partial sun in the afternoon


 * There will likely be a break between the hike and the evening meeting.


 * At 6 PM, we will have our monthly meetup. We'll meet this time at the Redmond Town Center Starbucks. We can choose a place to eat after we all find each other. Agenda items include documenting the hike, upcoming GLAM and diversity conferences, WikiConference USA in San Diego, Wiknic planning, and a brief update about our 501(c)(3) and plans for the rest of 2016. There *may* be an announcement with news from WMF (I'm waiting to hear back follow up from an initial email.) There will likely be time for additional agenda items and open discussion.

Notes
 * I am glad Lane mentioned Boot Camp. I was going to mention this here or via email, too. I was able to attend this weekend activity back in 2013 and 1) found it to be very informational 2) met some fantastic, like-minded, enthusiastic Wikimedians, new and experienced, and 3) had a really great time. It would be great if someone else from Cascadia who is interested in collaborating with cultural institutions to attend this event. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:39, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
