Only 9 months remaining
Can be anywhere (Even Vallejo)
Can be any activity you think Wikimedians would enjoy
Brainstorm other place we'd like to go
Samovar in the Yerba Buena gardens seemed to work well, though it's not cheap
Maybe if we all behave really well we'll be allowed to use the office again
other locations have been proposed
Planning for
Maker Faire 2010
What is
Maker Faire ?
Last years results
Almost no one edits, need to do something different.
IRC Recent Changes/Commons pictures always big hit
Recent changes on an LED wall display? (e.g.

Will Foundation sponsor if they can mount it in their lobby after the Faire?
'Phosphor' xscreensaver url feed on lcd panels?
This years activities?
People go to Maker Faire to "Do Stuff"
Games
Reliable source criteria quiz game?

We still need July, August, October, December (Assuming Nov is WCW)
Maker Faire
INTERACTIVE is the word of the day
Hopefully contact O'Reilly to get a double wide/better space
Games are important
Guess the WP language
Wiktionary tie definition game?
Touch screens would be AMAZINGLY useful
Be "other project"-centric
Wandering Commons photographers with Eye-Fi cards
Present live images from the cards, upload to commons
Have the ability to give short URLs?
Have small macro object booth
Present images live, upload to commons
Photo scavenger hunt/bingo
Scout Friday night and make something up?
Contact groups going to be there in advance and work something out?
Place "Q" Cards about. Little cards w/ logo and code to take pictures of
"Make" stuff before hand (?)
Marketing Materials:
posters
leaflets
1-2page brochures
Maker Faire specific
booth setup
Visualizations
Computer Displays
Trading Card Game
Schedule Talks/Presentations/Howto's
Get a whiteboard to use
15 minutes, tops

How to upload on commons, get audience to do it
Give away more valuable swag for people that actually edit (T-shirts?)

What can we build/do that the office can put up?
How can we present the other projects?
Donation jar for the loose change/cash that isn't "tacky" (Point of contention from years past)
What about just "selling" symbolic items like t-shirts for donation prices? ($10 donation comes with a sticker, or something)
Wikimania SF
Bid for 2012
Research now is still useful
Look at old bids, keep an eye on this years bids
If Montreal gets 2011, might be difficult to get 2012

Find out how many people have gone each year

Unconference
See if we can get one serious (scheduled) talk/demo from each project
