Hello, all.
Apologies for the rather late Friday notice. We had hoped to get details on this out earlier today, but it has taken rather all day for us to get the technical details ironed out!
***
The Wikimedia Foundation is hosting an office hour featuring Chief Financial Officer Jaime Villagomez https://wikimediafoundation.org/profile/jaime-villagomez/ and General Counsel Amanda Keton https://wikimediafoundation.org/profile/amanda-keton/, two of the transition team guiding the Wikimedia Foundation during its executive transition. It will also feature guests from the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees (BoT), to be determined over the next few days, and Community Resilience & Sustainability Vice President Maggie Dennis https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mdennis_(WMF). The main purpose of the call is to discuss questions related to Wikimedia Foundation executive transition, including the retention of María Sefidari https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Raystorm as an advisor to Movement Strategy and supporting and onboarding the expanding BoT. Come with your questions or feedback, and let’s talk! You can also send us your questions in advance.
This office hour will be on June 29 at 15:00 UTC — see https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1624978855 for your local time.
We will officer live interpretation for German, Spanish, French, and Arabic. To be able to listen to the interpretation, you need to join the Zoom room (and therefore register via answers@wikimedia.org; answers@wikimedia.orgsee below). The Youtube live-stream will be only in English.
Details
This call will be streamed and available on demand at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQTND98b_Yg
We will be fielding questions from Wikimedians in good standing (that is, not Foundation or community banned). In order to be as efficient as possible, we are encouraging people to send questions in advance. Please send all questions to answers@wikimedia.org, by Monday June 28 (midnight, whatever time zone you may be in). We may aggregate similar questions or truncate them for length. Questions can also be asked live on Zoom for in-room attendees, in Zoom chat, Telegram and YouTube.
Language support
We will offer automated closed captioning for English, and live interpretation for German, Spanish, French, and Arabic. This is the first time we offer such a service for an office hour, and we would like to experiment with it and see how it works. To be able to listen to the Zoom interpretation, you need to join the Zoom room (and therefore register, see below), as live-streaming interpretation channels to Youtube is not possible.
How to register
For security reasons and specifically to avoid Zoombombing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoombombing, we will be sending the Zoom link only to people who have registered in advance close to the meeting and only to Wikimedians in good standing. In order to register, please send an email to answers@wikimedia.org, indicating your name, username, affiliation if you have any. The title should be “Registration for Office Hours”. The link will be shared with any Wikimedia in good standing (not Foundation or community banned) who requests it within the hour before the meeting.
The meeting will be governed by the Friendly Space Policy https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy. We are committed to tackling hard questions bravely in a manner that reflects the values of our Universal Code of Conduct https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct.
Hello, folks.
I'm sorry for the quick self-correction. As implied in yesterday's email, we pulled this together rather quickly, and rather than write the announcement from scratch, we based it off of a different meeting. You don't need to share details about your affiliation, etc., to get the zoomlink. We do try to ensure that people are eligible (Wikimedians in good standing), but otherwise we don't need all that detail. I've updated the Meta page. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=IRC_office_hours%2FOffice_hours_2021-06-29&type=revision&diff=21648546&oldid=21645324
Sheepish regards, Maggie
