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.
