Grants talk:TPS/SarahStierch/DISH2011/Report

Hi, Sarah.

Thanks for this report. Could you share some information about progress (if any) on the follow-up on the connections made during this event? Asaf Bartov (WMF Grants) talk 01:39, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Asaf. The most valuable follow up I have had come from this is with OCLC. I had emailed briefly with someone from the Bay Area location, and at DISH I met with the director of OCLC (as in the "big wig"). We connected, and now I am meeting with OCLC upon my arrive in SF on the 15th of March. I can't get into the details publicly yet, but, I promise you - it will be a new partnership that will be the first of it's kind on the West coast and our first SF Bay Area cultural partnership. I'm beyond ecstatic! On minor notes, I have also connected with a woman from Lithuania; she has interest in having me come speak. We shall see! Everyone else was either someone I knew, or someone that I would not consider a strong prospect for partnerships. SarahStierch 02:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
