Dear Wikimedians,

A quick reminder that we will be having another Wikimedia Clinic open call
today, in about three hours, at 08:00 UTC.

The Wikimedia Clinics calls are open video calls (using Google Meet) where
any active Wikimedian is welcome to attend and ask questions or ask for
advice about whatever Wikimedia-related goal or problem they're working
on.You can also just share what you're working on and invite feedback, even
if you don't have a specific question. Or people can just connect to hang
out, or to offer their own experience to the people asking questions.

It's relaxed and informal. The calls are a Friendly space
. Attendees are
expected to:

   - Listen with patience and respect.
   - Share your experience, but remember others' contexts are very diverse,
   and may not match yours.
   - Be of service.

The Google Meet link is https://meet.google.com/hmb-hfjk-jtk

NOTE: I know the Branding project is still a topic of interest and debate
for many of you.  While you are welcome to bring it up during a clinic and
share thoughts with each other, I'm afraid this upcoming call won't have
new information from WMF's side beyond the last communication from the
Board, and those interested in further engagement on the topic would be
able to get more answers on the same general channels on Meta and the
Wikimedia-l mailing list they have already been using.  Again, the topic is
not taboo on the Wikimedia Clinic, but I do want to set expectations for
people who may only attend hoping to hear new information about it.

Cheers,

   A.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Affiliates meeting tomorrow on current situation of Rebranding

[Jayantilal Kothari]

Thank you for sharing this Bodhisattva. Do try hard and protect Wikimedia.
Keep us volunteers updated.

On a personal note it is very disheartening to see how they are ignoring us
and moving forward.

One minor but important correction. The RfC is for "Should the Foundation call 
itself *Wikipedia*?" (emphasis added)
