Hi folks,

I would like to remind you about this invitation for tomorrow.

I anticipate that there will be few people who attend, and that's okay.

Currently, I am using the free version of Zoom which allows 40 minutes for
meetings, so I will be on Zoom starting at 17:00 UTC for 40 minutes. There
will be a 20 minute break between the end of the Café meetup and the start
of the WMF activities meeting.

If you are concerned about privacy but would like to attend, it's fine to
attend with voice only. The Zoom software allows people to disable their
video.

Example subjects that might come up for discussion include:

* Affiliate activities
* Growth strategies
* Finance
* Community health
* Legal issues
* Structured data on Commons
* "Between the Brackets" podcasts
* Quality and quantity of information on Wikipedia
* Design

There's no pressure to attend if you're not interested or have something
else that is important to do during the Café time tomorrow. This is a
social invitation.

Until next time,

Pine
