Greetings!
Can you help us create a better multimedia experience on Wikipedia and its
sister sites?
If you are interested, we'd like to invite you to join a special Multimedia
Meetup at the Wikimedia Foundation, this Monday, December 9 at 6:30pm PST.
This one-hour event will bring together dozens of developers and community
members to discuss how we can use images, sounds and videos to help people
learn more effectively on our sites.
To join us, simply sign up here:

If you know anyone else outside WMF whom you think would be interested, you are
welcome to spread the word in your community -- the more, the merrier :)
We will start our meeting by presenting a vision for multimedia in 2016 and ask
you how we can improve it.
We will then demo and discuss these new projects together:
* media viewer
* file feedback
* new video formats
* campaign tools
As a group, we will brainstorm new ways to view, contribute, curate, discover
and use media files on Wikipedia, and grow our audio-visual knowledge base in
the process.
This is a great opportunity to plan our next steps together and network with
other like-minded community members. And we'll be serving free drinks and pizza
to make this even more fun for you. :)
Images, sounds and videos can engage users more deeply than text articles, and
better support their individual learning styles. To that end, we aim to help
more users to collaborate through multimedia -- by improving their viewing
experience, supporting their media contributions, and making it easier to use
media in articles.
We look forward to your advice on how to make this vision happen together.
Thanks for your consideration. We hope to speak with you soon. :)
All the best,
Fabrice
