Hi Eugene, very nice, thank you (and welcome!)

* Could you please help update the meta page on the process with your thoughts and ideas? [[m:Strategic planning 2009]] What's your current rough timeline for the coming 12 months?

* I see you are using a non-editable Chandler calendar to track tasks. Can you set up an editable one for the whole community to use? It also seems to me that more of the 'later' tasks, even at this early stage, should be milestones from / facilitated through / presented to the community, whereas they are currently designed around bridgespan and board meetings.

* I have the impression that bridgespan would like to be brought up to speed on what the community's key issues, motivations, and priorities are. You probably know better than anyone; how can community members best help get outsiders (like BS) get up to speed on past discussions about WM and WP future planning? How have you been getting up to speed?

This might be a good discussion to continue on-wiki -- I expect most of the community editing about this will take place on Meta, and its pages are watched by many people who don't read f-l.

Warmly, SJ

Hi everybody,

We're still in the process of getting up to speed, but I'm anxious to start interacting with more of you and garnering some feedback as we prepare to initiate this process. As a way to get to know each other and talk about the process, Philippe and I will be holding IRC office hours tomorrow on freenode's #wikimedia channel from 8-10pm UTC. (You can convert this to your local timezone using: http://bit.ly/1aCw9p ).

It will be informal. We'll be around to chat, hear your ideas, and tell you what we know thus far. Please join us, and please spread the word to others who might be interested!

Thanks!

=Eugene
