Hello, everyone.Weeks go by, and the previous conversation was throughly derailed, so out of a profound interest in ensuring a high-value event, I am bringing this up again: we[3] *need to make progress* with planning the working-meeting-featuring-Wikimedia-affiliates-and-WMF-and-the-WMF-Board-and-AffCom[4], whatever we may end up calling it[1]. In the interest of moving on to focus on more substantive issues, and in light of there being only a single bid submitted so far[5], may I boldly *suggest that it be accepted* and that we devote the rest of the time until the spring to ensuring the lessons[6] of the previous years be heeded in *significant preparatory work* by the program team and the affiliates? Asaf [1] or whatever we may choose to rename it. The previous thread was successfully killed by the digression into the event's name. Let's try to keep this one on track, and discuss the name ELSEWHERE[2], shall we? [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Conference_2015 [3] yes, not all the hundreds of people on this mailing list. But this is still the channel that reaches the greatest number of Wikimedia affiliates.
