Hi SJ and all.

Thanks to all of you who attended the event and the words of support here and off-list even when you couldn't make it.

Next steps:

* I'll write a summary of topics discussed in the meeting and will share.

* We want to create a space around this topic to be able to continue the conversations virtually (as well as in person). There was a suggestion about using space.wmflabs.org for it. My todo is to look into it and let you all know if space is the place and if not where it is.

Stay tuned.

Wish I could have been there for this -- please let me know if there was a followup space for future discussion. Wikiconf North America this November will be focused on credibility, so I'm both personally and eventually interested! SJ

I'll try to be there. The Research track talks today were very rich with information & areas for future work.

Hi all,

Over the past days, we have been hearing or have been part of small group conversations about the topic of disinformation. If you're interested to get a sense of these discussions or share your thoughts with others about this topic, we (Research+Policy teams at Wikimedia Foundation) invite you to attend a 45-min meet-up about this topic on Sunday, 13:10-13:55, in Curie, Aula Magna. The meet-up page is at https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Meetups/Disinformation .

This is a very short meet-up and we will start on-time as a result. Please plan for it if you intend to attend. :)

Leila

Hi all,

Here is the update:

* Notes from our meet-up are now added in the bottom of https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Meetups/Disinformation . In part 3, I had to do some paraphrasing and retrieving information from memory and I may have misrepresented a point you raised. If that is the case, please feel free to update it. If you don't want to directly edit the page, let me know and I'll update it for you.

* I spent some time in the past two days to understand how space.wmflabs.org works (newbie here;) and I agree with the suggestion from our meet-up to use that space for continuing the conversation between folks who attended the meetup in Wikimania (and those who didn't but are interested to join). The future conversations can take place in: https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/research/disinformation . Feel free to "watch" the subcategory to receive notifications about new topics and conversations.

Leila

p.s. Pine, As you know, I am familiar with meta and its functionalities and I see that for this specific conversation space gives us functionalities and guidelines that can be helpful. While I'm open to changes in the future, I'm happy for us to give it a try in this new environment.

I think that this is a good topic for discussion, and I think that Meta would be a good place for further online discussion.

I think that Discourse has promise, but I'm not a fan of Wikimedia Space and I don't participate there, nor am I likely to do so in the future.
