The survey cannot be opened (gives a permission error. Presumably its only working if you are logged in to a WMF google account)
Additionally, I wish there was more information about what basis we are supposed to be nominating people on. Its not even clear under what category of person we are nominating people for (people with skills (what type of skills?) who are going to be "selected by the comittee" or are we nominating for the 17 volunteers? (What type of volunteers? Wikipedians (aka users)? Volunteer devs? How do third parties fit into that?) -- Brian On Friday, June 1, 2018, Rachel Farrand <rfarr...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Hello! > > As per the email below we are now opening up the nomination process for the > Wikimedia Technical Conference (WMTechConf), to be held in Portland, OR, > USA on October 22-25, 2018. > > *Please fill out the survey using this link to nominate yourself or someone > else to attend: *https://goo.gl/forms/MKF682BE1OVI0pe63 This nomination > form will remain open between June 1 and June 14, 2018. > > This survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may make it > subject to additional terms.
