This is the first time we've done a video office hours and we have some things to learn about how to produce them effectively. I'm sorry the audio on the YouTube recording wasn't great - we can make that a priority in the future. I know I also tend to speak quickly, which can be difficult for people who do not speak English natively, for example. This is something I will keep working on. We might make other tweaks to the format - for example, we might do a smaller room next time, or closer to the webcam. 2. Time stamps would definitely make it easier to skip around in the video. Perhaps we can work something similar out for the future. Solid suggestion. 3. Noted on licensing. We can see what the options are there. 4. BrillLyle, rest easy! We have an excellent tean here at the WMF, including people in both formal and informal leadership roles, from individual contributors to executive team members. Some of them are well known to community, others are strong internally in the Foundation. I hope community members will increasingly see these leaders engaging publicly, through greater participation at events and conferences, in metrics meetings, and on-wiki and elsewhere. On the current executive team alone, I believe we have more than 25 years combined experience at the WMF, which I expect compares favorably to past teams. I am very grateful to know many colleagues well through our work together over the past two years, and have great confidence in their skills and judgement. Yesterday was an experiment, and we'll do another, more traditional IRC office hours next week following the May metrics meeting. It should be different in style and speed; I'm looking forward to it. A reminder of the details: *IRC session* This session follows the May monthly metrics meeting <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings>. Like other office hours, it will be held in #Wikimedia-office <irc://irc.freenode.net/Wikimedia-office>connect <https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#Wikimedia-office> on irc.freednode.org <irc://irc.freenode.net/>.

You just have to use etherpad's "Export to HTML" feature, and then paste that result into Visual Editor. If the formatting is heavy on headings, wiki format is probably better. Otherwise, native formatting tends to be easier to deal with during the meeting itself (e.g. indenting nested bullet lists, WYSIWYG bold, etc.). It's great that we now have both options. Thanks VE team!
