Re: [Wikimedia Education] Cascadia Wikimedians VisualEditor training update; upcoming meetings

Hi all, * We piloted VisualEditor training at the most recent edit-a-thon that we held at UW. The feedback from the librarians was positive. I'll work on turning the training into a video format soon, possibly during my travel to the Wikimedia Conference. I am considering producing a PDF version first because that is easier to do, and a video version second. * The UW librarians are interested in continuing to partner with us. More info about that during the next few weeks. * We received feedback from WMF about the current version of our proposed annual plan on Meta. At this point, WMF is willing to fund portions but not all of our plan. Our Board is in the process of scheduling a meeting to discuss our next steps. * You may remember that Monika mentioned on this list ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-cascadia/2015-March/000492.…) her grant proposal for an Inspire campaign project "Full Circle Gap Protocol: Addressing the ‘Unknown Unknowns". WMF has awarded funding for this project. Congratulations, Monika. (: * We will have our regular social meetup at Cafe Allegro on May 26th this month, later than usual. At this meetup, I plan to share what I learned at the Wikimedia Conference and any potential new partnerships or initiatives. We can also discuss our plans for the remainder of this year, including potential future events at the UW libraries. I hope to see many of you on the 26th. (: Pine
