Hello colleagues, There will be two Wikimedia Café <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9> discussions this month. In a change from the usual Café practice, this month's sessions will have different topics. Anyone who meets the Café attendance criteria is welcome to attend either or both sessions.
Session A will happen on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC (timestamp converter <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792854000>), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe. This session will feature Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Phil Bradley-Schmieg <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PBradley-WMF>. We will discuss legal issues on Wikimedia Commons, including complexities of international law. (I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.) Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC (timestamp converter <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792897200>), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria>. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria> regardless of Café attendance. Please see the Café page for more information, including how to register <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9#How_to_attend_the_session> !
