Hi everyone, 

As for a meetup at WikiCon17, we said in our last meeting that we'll have a meetup separate from the above mentioned education session, and someone (I believe it was Vahid) said the EDU team will check with the hosts which room we can use, so we can have a hangout with those not attending Berlin? 

As for a 2017 in-person meetup, I've asked my chapter to consider that and will have an answer by the end of the week. 

Cheers, 
Shani.

In-person meeting of the Collab
It's time to start thinking about the coming Face-to-Face meeting of the Collab. 

One key question we need to look at is: Where shall we hold the in-person meeting? Last year the meeting was held in Stockholm, and it's vital to reach an agreement of where we should be holding the coming meeting. 
Are there a Collab members that would like to volunteer to be the host? Please let us know as soon as possible. 

Topics to be covered:
Among other topics, we would like to propose that during the in-person meeting we take a fresh look at the goals of the Collab, to see how they align with what the Collab wants to get done. 

A new topic we would like to propose is the creation of a framework for "quality" in Education programs. 

A placeholder for the meetup has been created on-wiki at:

WikiCon17
At the initiative of WMIL and WMAR, an Education Session, dedicated to Education Programs will be held parallel to the Learning Days, right before WikiCon. We expect this will make sure that Education is included in the discussion on strategy that will be held during WikiCon. A few of the members of the Collab will be participating, as representatives for their Affiliates.

There might also be an opportunity to have a meetup with the Collab members that will participate at WikiCon17... Who's going?


I hope to hear from you soon!

Vahid.
