Hi folks,
We would like to invite you to join a community IRC chat which we're hosting this
Thursday, July 18th, at 18:00 UTC (11:00am PDT), on this 'office hours' channel:

This one-hour online discussion will bring together community members and the
foundation's new multimedia team to discuss our next steps for a better, media-rich
experience on Wikipedia and Commons. During this chat, we will ask you how we can improve
multimedia on our sites, as well as discuss these new feature ideas:
• Media Viewer
• File Notifications
• File Feedback
* New Gallery Layout
If you are interested in multimedia and have had any experience uploading media files,
curating them or placing them on articles, we would love to hear from you. Please RSVP
here if you are interested in joining, so we know how many people to expect:

Even if you can't join this IRC chat, we'd be grateful if you could spread the
word in your community, so we can attract a good mix of Commonists and Wikipedians to help
us plan our next steps. To that end, I would be grateful for any suggestions of
constructive users whom you think should be invited to join this or future multimedia
discussions.
Thanks for your interest. Hope to speak with you soon!
All the best,
Fabrice and the Multimedia Team
