Hi all. As I first mentioned here, Wikia is extending an invitation to five Memory Alpha administrators to visit our office in San Francisco. We want to give as many admins as possible a chance to get to know Wikia more, see our offices, meet our teams, and learn about our Star Trek programming for the 50th anniversary—and, of course, resolve the legal concerns relating to the CC-BY-NC license face-to-face.
The admins we invite will be flown out to San Francisco for a week in August. We plan to put them up in hotel rooms near our office. Here's a basic rundown of what the trip entails:
- What are the dates? The five admins will fly to SF on Monday, August 10th. The admin visit (aka the days in the office) will be Tuesday, August 11th through Thursday, August 13th. The admins will fly home on Friday, August 14th.
- Who is invited? We are extending the invitation to five administrators. These five are Sulfur, Archduk3, Cid Highwind, and Renegade54. The fifth admin can be chosen by the admin team or the community. We leave that decision up to you.
- What will be discussed? The two biggest discussions will be (1) the licensing questions, concerns, and debate; and (2) an introduction to our plans for the 50th anniversary next year. As with any other admin visit, the admins will also meet with as many other teams as possible, including Community Support, Community Development, Product Design, and Mobile; as well as key individuals within the company, up to and including CEO Craig Palmer (pending availability).
- How is travel arranged? Once we confirm the list of attendees, we will contact each person individually to get their travel details. We will then book travel and lodging for them and send them their flight and hotel confirmation info.
I have contacted each of the above referenced admins letting them know that they are invited. Please feel free to discuss who you want the fifth admin to be in whatever way you deem fit. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 22:34, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
- I will just say now that my circumstances do not permit me to travel at this time, so I will be unable to participate. 31dot (talk) 22:53, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
