Hello,

We wanted to have a more informal forum for discussing Wikimedia issues with Board members, so the three new Wikimedia Trustees (Arne, Matt, and myself) are hosting an open meeting on IRC in #wikimedia this Friday.

Where : #wikimedia When  :  Friday  September 11, 1800-1900 UTC             (11:00-12:00 PST / 14:00-15:00EST / 20:00-21:00CEST)

Other Board members will hopefully be there as well; we picked a time when we knew all of the new members could attend.  Please join with any thoughts or questions you have for the Board or about Wikimedia in general.  If you'd like to see something on the agenda, whether or not you can attend in person, please add it here:

Since we only have an hour, we will try to keep to the agenda.  New topics brought up after noon UTC the day of the meeting will be addressed on-wiki if we run out of time.

I'm looking for someone to help moderate the chat.  If interested, please reply offlist.  Thanks!

SJ
