So it seems that the main rationale for an annual Wikimania brought up in
the 2016 meeting was that Wikimania was vital for movement governance and
accountability. Which wasn't particularly stressed in the WMF's
consultation, but I can see why that kind of issue was very fresh in
peoples' minds in

Hi Chris,
I can comment on your question why we need another strategy conference: The
Wikimedia 2030 process is ongoing, and is building – among many other
inputs – upon the outcomes of the last two conferences. Organized groups
are already working on the implementation of the Strategic Direction
This is very remarkable that nobody is actually interested in input from
what the WMF functionaries now call "unorganized volunteers" - people who
actually work in the projects. We are just not in the picture. Good luck

Hi Yaroslav, I find your concern important so let me attempt to refine it to
discussion points or a call for action. :) Firstly, I think it is unwise to

thank you for your reaction. No, I am personally not interested in
attending the Wikimedia conference or whatever name it has now. I am

I second Yaroslav here. Last year it was very obvious how disconnected was
that strategy thing with the communities that actually build the projects.
All that reached wiki.pt were kind of obvious generalities without much to
tell about, which were generally ignored by the community. The Strategy

Hi Cornelius,
a quick sanity check (sorry if this was already discussed): in your
overview, you don't mention any WMF staff members as such. Is that because
they won't be invited in that capacity (i.e. not including staff members
that happen to be in affcom, that are affiliate representatives or a
