Hello, The board intends to set up a retreat time just prior to Wikimania, for roughly 2 days. This meeting will be particularly focusing on WMF advisory board (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board). For now, I have no idea how many advisors were willing to join, and my first suggestion on our mailing list did not bring much feedback. I would like that this be discussed on a wiki page, where people can also simply add their name. It would have made sense to add this page to Wikimania site, but it seems identification is mandatory (and not all advisors are so familiar with the process). Question: where would you recommand or prefer that I set up such a page ? Wikimania (with identification), meta ? elsewhere ? Another idea ? ant _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

I think meta would be easiest. I don't think Jimmy and Michael are available 2 days before Wikimania. There is a Wikia board meeting on July 31. Even assuming that finished by noon and they got on a plane immediately, they wouldn't be in Taipei until late afternoon on August 1st. Are there also meetings planned for after Wikimania? Angela
