Considering relocation of the office (or, indeed, considering whether we even need a centralised office at all) is a topic of debate amongst staff. Lots of staff have opinions, some stronger than others. I imagine this debate will ultimately inform whomever decides whether we should relocate or not. As an aside, this is an example of why I find statements like "the WMF has no willingness to discuss X" to be problematic; like the larger Wikimedia community, the Wikimedia Foundation is a collective of individuals with a broad range of opinions. Statements like "WMF thinks X" or "Community thinks Y" are almost always trivially false. I find it better to be specific. :-) Dan -- Dan Garry Lead Product Manager, Discovery Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
