Hello everyone!

The Wikimedia Foundation Community Events Team will continue holding monthly office hours for any community members who are interested. This is a place where movement event organizers can join and share ideas and lessons with each other for upcoming and past events. The Wikimedia Foundation Events team will be there as well to join in the discussions, answer questions you might have for us and to facilitate.

This iteration of the office hours will take place on Thursday January 14 at 13:00 UTC and will last for an hour. Find the link to join on meta.

This months topics:

• Andrew Lih will be joining us to a review of how the recent virtual WikiConference North America went from an organizing perspective.

• The WMF events team will be presenting our new meta Events Portal

• Time for any questions or discussion points from attendees

This months supported languages are:

• English, Hebrew, Dutch, Spanish, Punjabi, and Hindi. We will maybe support Japanese this is to be confirmed on the meta page within the next few days.
  

We will continue to change the time of the meeting each month in order to be inclusive of more timezones. We will also continue to adjust these office hours as we go based on community feedback and are very open to changing the scope of these office hours over time or incorporating community theme requests, presentation requests or requests for outside speakers.

You can find more information about upcoming office hours and add your comments and questions here and on the talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Events_team/OfficeHours

We hope to see you there! Please pass this invitation to anyone in your communities who might like to join monthly international event organization discussions.
