[Talk-us] State of the Map US and Wiki Conference North America in 2019?

[Pine W]

Hi OSM US,

Wikipedians and other participants in the other source universe have had a
conference in the past few years called Wiki Conference North America. For
2019 the WCNA's frequent major financial sponsor, the Wikimedia Foundation,
is not making funding available, so the organizers of Wiki Conference North
America are interested in possibly co-locating the conference with another
organization that has mutual interests and is willing to collaborate. Would
the OSM US organization be willing to have a conversation with the Wiki
Conference North America organizers about possibly collaborating on a
single conference for 2019?

Even if OSM US has no dedicated funding available for Wikimedia activities,
if both events could happen together so that WCNA activities would require
less funding than if WCNA had a separate conference, that would be of
interest to the WCNA organizers.

Thanks,

Pine
