I have finally uploaded my Wikimania talk to Commons. It took some time to add links and explanatory notes that were spoken aloud at Wikimania, hence the delay.

Thank you for posting this.
The first section was removed? I got excited to see the term "Global South" with a line through it (in the agenda index), but I think I initially misunderstood its meaning. The term "Global South" is pretty awful and deserves a quick death. But based on the title of the presentation and this e-mail thread... I'm not hopeful that it's dead yet.
I'm a little confused about whether the ongoing programs in Brazil and India will continue. There's a note that reads "No WMF contractors on the ground any more", but it's unclear whether this means a discontinuation of the current folks. And the final slides focus on future engagements. Does the "no contractors on the ground" line mean only full-time staff will be working with (engaging with, if you prefer) areas in the future? Full-time staff and local chapter folks, I guess? And simply no Wikimedia Foundation contractors?
