Thanks, Fae As it now seems that some of the WCA members will not be attending the conference itself, I do favor a meeting on Thursday (afternoon or all day) where all WCA council members can (potentially) attend. Of course, as Fae wrote, those of us who attend the conference, should do their best to contribute to the main programme.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Chapters] Question: Plans for the Wikimedia conference in Milan
I agree with the previous thoughts on this thread that any WCA Council meeting should be in the core time, on the principle that we want any meeting to be open. Any of the outcomes of research, analysis and services that we have been discussing should be presentations and workshops integrated with the core schedule rather than a specific Council discussion. For those like Manuel that are unable to come for logistical or financial reasons, we should ensure that good efforts are made to enable their virtual presence, even if only for selected slots in the timetable. This would be an excellent chance to show off recent progress with open source software for video conferencing. I'll aim to book my travel to arrive on Thursday afternoon and fly back late on the Sunday.

Okay, I haven't booked flights yet so I should be able to include all of Thursday. Discussing the agenda in any detail will have to defer until after the current election for Chair, however I suggest arranging an afternoon meeting so that people can arrive in the morning without too much hassle.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Chapters] Question: Plans for the Wikimedia conference in Milan
If we arranging something, I'll be happy if we could do it on the day before the conference and not after. (1) from a personal reason, can't stay after (2) because it make sense to hold a meeting and to get into conclusion before we meeting the others and not after On Sat, Mar 2, 2013 at 6:59 PM, Fae fae...@gmail.com wrote: I'm about to book my travel for Milan, and wondered if there were any views from Council members or other chapter enthusiasts if we might try to arrange meetings outside of the core Friday 19th to Sunday 21st April. If there are no particular plans for meeting during Thursday 18 April, then I'll plan on arriving late that day.
