Hi Pine,
Metrics will still be included in these meetings, though they will be structured a little differently moving forward.
We’re experimenting with including metrics throughout the presentation rather than in a defined section. This may also mean using different metrics based on the work being described. The goal is to to take a more holistic approach to measuring our work and focus on communicating impact.
We see this as a work in progress and look forward to continuing to evaluate what’s working for metrics meetings, what’s not, and how we can improve. I hope this helps clarify.
Thanks, Sam

Hi Samantha,
Will metrics (Readership, Discovery, Community, Fundraising, Finance, etc.) still be included in the agenda? The overviews can be brief or in depth, perhaps varying in emphasis from month to month. This meeting originated in public as the monthly metrics meeting, and I still like having high-level overviews; I also feel that it's helpful for folks to have some common points of reference regarding the whole organization's (as opposed to team-level or department-level) "most important" metrics [0] including a reminder of what those metrics are and how they're doing on a regular basis.
Thanks,
Pine.
[0] Definition to be determined, perhaps during the strategy update process

Hello everyone,
The next Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting will take place on Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 7:00 PM UTC (11 AM PST). The IRC channel is #wikimedia-office on irc.freenode.net, and the meeting will
be
broadcast as a live YouTube stream.
Update/change to meeting format: The Wikimedia Foundation is exploring a revised format for the November meeting. Our intent is to share work from the Foundation and movement, but also to connect our work more broadly within the movement’s biggest opportunities and challenges.
To do this, we are piloting the November meeting around a theme that has been at the forefront of much of our work recently: “Building an
inclusive
movement.”
In November, speakers will highlight projects, initiatives, and work that actively foster inclusivity within our movement -- to create a space for everyone to contribute and share in knowledge on the Wikimedia sites.
Here is the agenda for the November meeting:
Welcomes, theme introduction - “Building an inclusive movement”
Executive Director update
Community update
June 2016 Inspire Campaign - Chris Schilling
Guest speaker - Wikipedia Asian Month - Addis Wang
Questions and discussion
Wikilove
As you may have seen, we are inviting a guest speaker to participate at
the
November meeting. Addis Wang, an active member of the Wikimedia User
Group
China, will be sharing some of his work with Wikipedia Asian Month and
his
efforts to create an inclusive space and invite people to participate in the edit-a-thon.
In future meetings, we would like to have one guest speaker from a Wikimedia community or someone from outside the movement present on their work that ties in with that month’s theme. (More information to come on this process moving forward, and who to reach out to if you would like to present in future meetings).
If you have any questions about the new format, please feel free to reach out to me, Sam Lien, at the Communications department
slien@wikimedia.org.

We will post the video recording publicly after the meeting.
Thank you, Sam
