Great idea. Sorry I don't live in the area to attend.

Tip: batch uploading to Wikimedia Commons:

I'm also happy to talk to her offline (I don't want to bombard the mailing
list with input, as a Wikipedian in Residence 3 times over and instigator
of many o' GLAM partnership) if she wants she can email me at
sarah at sarahstierch.com
