I wonder if this hour long session would be useful to have not as a workshop but perhaps as an overview/awareness presentation for the broader Wikimedia community, who are perhaps less knowledgable on the offline topic. What do you all think? Last year I felt a little sad we didn't do a more "promotional" presentation to reach out to people who were not necessarily already involved in the project. I wonder for the purposes of this strategic planning / working meeting, if we need a few days of prioritizing, planning, and hacking/working from some of the people most deeply involved in different projects. This seems like something that could be potentially be done during the hackathon days of the conference: July 10-11. Otherwise, we could alternatively plan a weekend in June, if this is more appealing to folks, or meets more availability. I started a page on the Offline Projects page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Volunteer_Page/2012_offline_workshop Please: 1. Put your username if you are (in general) interested in attending this; this will help us gauge the number of people who want to be involved 2. Indicate your availability for the Wikimania dates 3. Suggest alternate dates 4. Suggest agenda items Thanks for your interest. I think this could be _awesome_.
