Hi Lukas! Sorry, I just noticed your email from before Easter – sorry about
missing it. In the meantime I got the same question from Gesine who you
probably know, so I'm just forwarding my answer to her below. :-)

Hi Gesine & Moritz!
I think our scales are very different, so I'm not sure how applicable our
experience will be for WMDE. If I remember correctly, you regularly have up
to 200–300 participants at the general assemblies, but we have much less –
for the last ~5 years we have had between 15 and 30 participants. For this
online GA, only 13 people showed up, and we didn't really expect more than
around ~20 people max, so the scale was easy to manage for us.
If you aren't already a member of it, I think you should ask about this in
the Telegram group "CROW – Conference Remote Options for Wikimedians" at
with
some collected information about various options.

Dear Jon,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop! We are in the midst of dicussing
options re our assembly. We may go for the digital version as well. Could
you help us with your experience as we are not so sure about the best
software and tools yet. We are currently looking into zoom & co, but feel
not very comfortable about data privacy and security.
Would you mind sharing your insights with us, either by call or in
written? That would be highly appreciated.
Thaks so much in advance! Looking forward to hearing from you I remain
With best regards
Gesine

Dear Jon,
Thank you for these news and congratulations to the new Wikimedia Norge
board!
Would it be possible to share some technical background information and
lessons learned from the virtual meeting? A lot of affiliates including
Wikimedia Deutschland are currently facing this challenge as well.
Kind regards,
Lukas
