Dear Lodewijk, Could you confirm what the main point of this discussion will be: - whether to organize WLM-2020 under the current conditions? (as Krishna's e-mail implies) - or how to organize/improve WLM "next year" (regardless of the current epidemic situation)? If it is about the second question, would it be possible to make a short (5 min) presentation with slides to highlight the main points where input from the international team is expected? Thank you in advance, Alexander On 5/24/2020 8:41 PM, effe iets anders wrote: I'm forwarding this announcement by Krishna to this list; it may be relevant to all organizers. The office hours will serve as an opportunity to discuss directions for the next year. Every potential national organizer is invited. I hope to see many of you there. -- Lodewijk ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Krishna Chaitanya Velaga &lt;kcvelaga(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Sun, May 24, 2020 at 9:00 AM Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments 2020: Office Hours - 6 & 7 June To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition < wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Cc: Closed list for the international organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments < wlm-global-org(a)lists.wmnederland.nl&gt; Hello all, Hope this email finds you all in the best of your health, and you are staying safe amid the ongoing crisis.
