Something I'm still a bit unclear on: what exactly is the purpose of all
this? Can you perhaps clarify that for me?

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.
Cheers,
Abhay

I will respond to this group if it looks like more than I van

Technically I think this might be you, from our history thus
far. Which
makes you a bit like most of the wikimedia dc board - most of them
aren't actually in DC anymore, either.
Or something. Do they ever define anywhere exactly what a
discussion
coordinator actually is/does?

Isarra, why don't you do it? You are by far the most prominent
Colorado
Wikimedian, and have been for years. I think you are supposed
to ask other
Colorado WIkimedians these questions, in person if possible,
or on this
list:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Participate
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Participate>
And then add a summary of whatever the answers are at one of
the designated
places.
I'm headed from Fort Lupton to Beijing next week and will be
there until
Wikimania in August, and might not be back in Colorado until
December, but
you can get a pretty good idea of what I hope to achieve in
the next 15
years (which is, coincidentally, what the strategy discussion
topic is)
from meta:User:James_Salsman and the corresponding talk page,
where I was
recently unblocked to make a free open source alternative to
Rosetta Stone
and the like (did you know Rosetta Stone's speech team is in
Boulder?) I
got blocked earlier in the decade for surveying the inactive
enwiki admins
(after being blocked on enwiki in 2007 for suggesting to a
Department of
Defense employee who purported to be a medical doctor that it
would have
been wiser to recommend against breathing uranium fumes, which
was taken as
a legal threat. So I began a ten year sockpuppetry breaching
experiment in
accordance with WP:IAR, but I have ceased and denounced that
behavior.)
Best regards,
Jim Salsman
