Just following up on this: when will the mid-year WMF financials be

As someone who spent several volunteer hours reviewing the current Annual

We are planning to do a review of alignment/divergence with the plan mid

Hi Lila,
May I request a Tech Talk about efficiency and quality of Wikimedia
software development? It would be interesting to have you, Erik and Damon
as presenters.
Thanks,

Every once in a while something happens in our Wikimedia-verse -- this
thread, for instance, or getting into a political discussion with
someone at an event -- that reminds me that I can violently disagree

P.S. If you'd like to talk about operational efficiency and quality of
software manufacturing -- please start a thread on that. We are deep into
working on that here, so would be happy to share the love!
