tl;dr - I signed up to be discussion coordinator. I'll set up on/off-line discussions shortly. Get more people to join our mailing list.
Hello, I have signed up to be the discussion coordinator for Wikimedians of Colorado. Once my sign-up is processed, I will receive links to DC (Discussion Coordinator) training materials. Shortly thereafter, I will formally set up a (possibly series of) discussion(s) among Wikimedians of Colorado (that includes *you*). In the meanwhile, I urge you to get your volunteer/editor/contributor friends and acquaintances to join Wikimedians of Colorado User Group mailing list. The more voices we have, the richer our outcome will be. The main question we'll ponder is - *What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?* According to the process timeline ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Process), there are three 'cycles'. The first one finished about a week ago, in which a set of themes was created, leading upto and including WMCon in Berlin. The next cycle kicks off in another week, where we, as a group, will identify top 5 thematic clusters (I presume as they apply to us, WMoCO.) The third cycle will being on June 1st, to refine top 3-5 clusters into a cohesive direction. I will share more details as they become clear(er) to me. In the meanwhile, we should decide if this mailing list is the best way to communicate or if we want to set up another channel for this discussion. We can also meet in person, on a conf call or a combination thereof. Looking forward to insights from all of you.
