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.
