Hi Jenny,
- Joe Mabel has been our primary photo person, both as a photographer & a Commons admin. - I have been the primary Seattle Wikipedians / Cascadia Wikimedians coordinator. Is anyone else interested in being part of the team to coordinate with WikiPortraits photographers? I am hoping to get something going with this year's SIFF <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_International_Film_Festival>.
