Dear all,
I would like to inform you that the draft schedule https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Online_Meeting_2020/Programme#Schedule of the Wikimedia CEE Online Meeting 2020, which will take place from 2–4 October, has been published. We have received proposals covering interesting topics with creative ideas and it was a real challenge to accommodate them in the optimal way. Thank you for your interest in taking part as a speaker.
The registration for the event is still open. You can add your username to the list of participants https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Online_Meeting_2020/Participants/List and subsequently confirm your participation by getting your ticket for free on the following link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimedia-cee-online-meeting-2020-tickets-116483763071 . *Note that the number of participants per community is unlimited and we also welcome interested participants from outside the CEE region. *Additionally, there is no obligation to attend all sessions at the conference and you can freely choose only those that you find particularly interested in.
Best regards, Kiril
Would it be unreasonable to ask that a notice to a general mailing list from an organizational unit such as CEE actually had the full name of the organizational unit? Even the two linked Meta pages did not contain the name. Only the Eventbrite page had it. Some mailings seem to have wandered in from the US DoD or some other country's bureaucracy. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that the opening post for a new thread should not have any acronym or initialism, but should have the topical organization, event, proposal, or whatever spelled out (Yes, even CoC.). It would seem to me that such is a requirement for the kind of inclusiveness we are allegedly seeking.

Indeed, acronyms are best expanded on first use. A truly constructive way to point it out, Mr. During, would have been to model the change you would like to see yourself.
CEE = Central and Eastern Europe.

I was INTENTIONALLY putting others in the same position that the e-mail put me AND I reinforced the point by INTENTIONALLY referring to US DoD.
