Announce grant request WLM 2017 to community
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We should announce our grant request to our community, and make sure they can give input if they want. Probably a message on the mailing list and on the village pump would be good!

Event Timeline

@Ilario please let me and lily help you with finalizing a draft, and let us know if you're unavailable :)

Just a quick note that we need this email out ASAP. If I don't hear from you by Friday, I'll send it out on your behalf.

LilyOfTheWest moved this task from Backlog to Next Up on the Wiki-Loves-Monuments (2017) board.

Thank you. I have been organizing the General Assembly of WM CH.

No worries. Do you want us to help you with the email? Lodewijk can send an email. Just let us know.

Yes please. These weeks I am snowed.

no worries, @Ilario.

@Effeietsanders per our chat conversation, I'm assigning this task to you. Please send the email out (no checks needed) or ping if you need my input. The only thing I'd say is that it's good to call out the important initiatives we want to work on, to make it clear that we actually do need the money we're asking for. It's also good to say that most of the initiatives are done completely based on volunteer time, we are requesting money to help us focus on those, and outsource our work where we can (or something along that line).

OK, shared. Thanks for the ping, @LilyOfTheWest and good luck with the assembly, @Ilario

Unless other channels should be targeted too, I think we can close.
