Re: [Wikimania-l] "The Big Open" session

[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

Hi Cornelius,
There are written notes and a linked audio recording at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Wikimania_Movement_Strategy_Space_report/Day_3#The_Big_Open
I'll add links to there, from the wikimania2017wiki, next.

should be the primary set of opinions and advice and checklists.
