Dear diversity enthusiasts,

at the Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2013 in Berlin we all felt that it is necessary to keep the discussion going, exchange our experience with working in the field of Diversity and make future plans together.

Therefore we would like to kick-off a series of Google Hangouts together with you!

As a pilot, we suggest to start now, experiment until Wikimania and then see what happens next. We need you to contribute your own ideas and topics to this dialogue!

We are hoping that we can schedule the first hangout in the next week already.

We would love to see many of you joining. If you are interested, please fill-in the Doodle to find the best suiting date. We will close the Doodle on Sunday and communicate the date for the Hangout on Meta and via this mailinglist.

As a topic for the first hangout we would like to take a fresh look at the issues covered in the round up sessions of the Diversity Conference and discuss and share what happened since then. We can also discuss other forms of shaping the dialogue about diversity.

To make the best of this hangout, we would like to encourage you to prepare yourselves by reading through the minutes of the round-up sessions, and by reflecting on your own work in the last couple of months.

We are looking forward to hearing about your projects and everything else you want to share with us!

Kind Regards,

Merle
