Hi Lukas! Sorry, I just noticed your email from before Easter – sorry about missing it. In the meantime I got the same question from Gesine who you probably know, so I'm just forwarding my answer to her below. :-)
---------- Forwarded message --------- Fra: Jon Harald Søby <[email protected]> Date: tir. 14. apr. 2020 kl. 12:04 Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] New board of Wikimedia Norge To: Gesine Marks <[email protected]> Cc: Moritz Rahm <[email protected]> Hi Gesine & Moritz! I think our scales are very different, so I'm not sure how applicable our experience will be for WMDE. If I remember correctly, you regularly have up to 200–300 participants at the general assemblies, but we have much less – for the last ~5 years we have had between 15 and 30 participants. For this online GA, only 13 people showed up, and we didn't really expect more than around ~20 people max, so the scale was easy to manage for us. If you aren't already a member of it, I think you should ask about this in the Telegram group "CROW – Conference Remote Options for Wikimedians" at https://t.me/joinchat/FE0P5FlfxzREOMlLljnNcA – it also has a coordinating page on Meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_remote_event_participation with some collected information about various options. tir. 14. apr. 2020 kl. 11:12 skrev Gesine Marks <[email protected]>: > > Dear Jon, > > Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
