Hi RhonosF1,

Thanks for the comment. I like the idea too.

Coincidentally, a subject for discussion at the upcoming Café is
obtaining non-WMF funding for community projects. A constant problem
is that the community has a limited supply of people and time, and an
extensive list of tasks and projects that we cannot complete with our
current human resources capacity.

Hey,

2 meetings would be fine with one at an alternate time.

Thanks,
Samuel

Hi RhinosF1,

The Café previously has been held on weekday mornings (US Pacific
time). The schedule was moved to its current time after a suggestion
that more people from India would attend at the new time. The average
attendance has been significantly higher at the new time slot, so I
think that the current time is likely to remain constant. (The
majority of the participants have been from Europe and North America,
and we have had some participants from Africa and Asia, primarily
India.) I've suggested having an additional time slot for the Café
that is offset by 12 hours from the current time slot so that people
from other time zones can more participate and so that there would be
two Café meetups per month.

So far we are having one meetup per month, and I would want
Bluerasberry to agree to to two meetups per month before moving ahead
with that. Two possibilities are that Bluerasberry and I would not
both attend every Café session but at least one of us would be present
for each Café, and/or we would find someone who is experienced with
the Café's format to host a meetup without us. How does that sound to
you?

Would it be possible to run one at an alternative time?

Maybe on a weekday morning?

[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimedia Café - Sat 25 April 2020...

2020-04-22 Thread Lane Rasberry 
Hello,

I am writing to invite anyone to join the next online meeting of Wikimedia
Café on Saturday 25 April 2020 4:30 PM UTC. Details for joining are at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Café
> (video room open at that time) https://virginia.zoom.us/my/wikilgbt

The agenda for this month includes discussing maps on Wikipedia and
Wikimedia community fundraising outside the Wikimedia Foundation.

Wikimedia Café is a modest, one-hour, monthly online meeting which for the
past few months has had fewer than 10 attendees. At these meetings anyone
can propose to discuss any topic of broad Wikimedia community interest, as
if we all were able to meet in person over coffee. The meetings themselves
are an experiment in small group Wikimedia community conversation with
video chat, phone access options, and online shared notetaking. Please see
WikiProject Remote Event Participation for more information about this
general style of online event.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_remote_event_participation

   - Anyone interested in joining may do so.
   - Anyone interested in reading notes of past meetings can find them on
   the meta page.
   - If there is anyone who wants to get their ideas published in the wiki
   world, consider looking at how this Café works, because voice chat with
   notetaking could be a way to organize your own wiki community.

Thanks Pine for performing as host in this and thanks to anyone who submits
topics for discussion or who is able to join.
