I am attempting this one more time, with more advance notice and some alterations to the agenda.
Here is a Doodle poll with options for scheduling: https://doodle.com/poll/iycrgia2wqune63g.
I have created a page on Meta where people who want to include an agenda item can do so: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Metrics_and_Activities_Meeting
This is an experiment. I hope that a meeting like this can facilitate and nurture international connections, and I hope that people will be interested enough to participate.
The meeting platform will be Zoom https://www.zoom.us/.
Regards,
Hi all,
The number of people who have participated in the Doodle poll is very low. Before I give up on the idea of having a community metrics and activities meeting, would anyone like to make a suggestion about how a meeting like this could be more interesting or useful?

Hi all,
Given the lack of interest and lack of suggestions, I'm going to cancel the meeting. However, if other people would like to be bold in organizing a meeting like this, they are welcome to do so.
I would like to encourage interpersonal and social connections among good-faith Wikimedia content contributors and grassroots project organizers, and I'd be glad to see suggestions and initiatives which do this.

pine, i find the lack of feedback a pity, so let me give at least my personal impression. "activities and metrics" sounded bureaucratic, and it sounded like work, not rewarding. the opposite of fun. not sure if a regular meetup would work better? a hangout? same time all the time. no matter how many persons are there, maybe once a month? one would need to think a little about the fun though.

I think Rupert has a point..... I would consider getting up at 5AM for a general conversation but not to be bored.
More loose, fun would be good. I can't do the end of this month - will be travelling.
Cheers, Richard.

Thanks for the input. I had been thinking of this as a meeting where useful communications and discussions would happen, but maybe going in the opposite direction would have more appeal. I could simply host a casual meetup on Zoom an hour before the WMF metrics meeting. There would be no agenda, and the environment would be like a coffee house. People could talk about whatever Wikimedia-related subjects are on their minds. Does that sound like it would be of interest?
