Greetings!
I hope you're well and enjoying your summer.
It's been a month since we started our new multimedia program at the Wikimedia
Foundation, and we'd like to give you a quick update about our work, as well as invite
you to join some of our upcoming discussions.
Here's our monthly report on July's activities and upcoming projects:

If you are going to Wikimania in Hong Kong this year, consider joining our roundtable
discussion this Thursday, August 8th, at 10:00am local time:

We will also host another public discussion on IRC later this month, on Thursday, August
22nd, at 19:00 UTC:

These discussions will bring together community members and developers to discuss how to
create a better multimedia experience on Wikipedia and Commons. With your help, we plan to
create new ways to view, contribute, curate, discover and use or share media files -- and
grow our audio-visual knowledge base in the process.
We hope you can join one of these discussions, which we also plan to host on-wiki. Through
these conversations, we aim to review current multimedia workflows on Commons and
Wikipedia, and identify together some key issues and features that can help us grow our
media ecosystem in coming years.
Thanks again for your interest in this project. We look forward to talking with you soon!
All the best,
Fabrice and the Multimedia Team
