[Wikimedia Announcements] Invitation to WMF November 2016 Metrics & Activities Meeting: Thursday, November 17, 19:00 UTC
Hello everyone, The next Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting will take place on Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 7:00 PM UTC (11 AM PST). The IRC channel is #wikimedia-office on irc.freenode.net, and the meeting will be broadcast as a live YouTube stream. Update/change to meeting format: The Wikimedia Foundation is exploring a revised format for the November meeting. Our intent is to share work from the Foundation and movement, but also to connect our work more broadly within the movement’s biggest opportunities and challenges. To do this, we are piloting the November meeting around a theme that has been at the forefront of much of our work recently: “Building an inclusive movement.” In November, speakers will highlight projects, initiatives, and work that actively foster inclusivity within our movement -- to create a space for everyone to contribute and share in knowledge on the Wikimedia sites. Here is the agenda for the November meeting: * Welcomes, theme introduction - “Building an inclusive movement” * Executive Director update * Community update * June 2016 Inspire Campaign - Chris Schilling * Guest speaker - Wikipedia Asian Month - Addis Wang * Questions and discussion * Wikilove As you may have seen, we are inviting a guest speaker to participate at the November meeting. Addis Wang, an active member of the Wikimedia User Group China, will be sharing some of his work with Wikipedia Asian Month and his efforts to create an inclusive space and invite people to participate in the edit-a-thon. In future meetings, we would like to have one guest speaker from a Wikimedia community or someone from outside the movement present on their work that ties in with that month’s theme. (More information to come on this process moving forward, and who to reach out to if you would like to present in future meetings). If you have any questions about the new format, please feel free to reach out to me, Sam Lien, at the Communications department sl...@wikimedia.org. Please review https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_metrics_and_activities_meetings for further information about the meeting and how to participate. We will post the video recording publicly after the meeting.
