Greetings Considering the brief email mostly talked about the in-person event in Berlin, has there been any thought to break the usual timing of Wikimedia Summit, which is generally April, and try "possibly" pushing it in the later part of the year such as September, October, November 2021?
(I also second the question about the virtual conference)

I'm not entirely certain that people outside of Europe necessarily were aware that the in-person meeting was going to be cancelled, or at least that a decision/announcement to cancel it would be made this far in advance. I agree that cancellation, even seven months before the scheduled meeting, is an appropriate decision.
I too am a bit disappointed that there doesn't appear to be any planning for some sort of virtual meeting, though. It will definitely affect strategy implementation.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I think the point of this message is to
say
that nothing virtual will be organized either (we already knew no
physical
meeting was going to happen). Which brings lots of questions as to how
that
affects the strategy implementation.

Very sad to hear that, hopefully a virtual one will make us happy.
