Hello everyone,

As I mentioned last month, we are making some tweaks to the monthly activities meeting to help better reflect the meeting's current purpose.

We will be discussing some of the changes at the next meeting. In short, we are working to make it easier for anyone in the community to sign up to give a presentation. We are also changing the name of the meeting from "Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting" to the "Wikimedia monthly activities meeting". This new name better reflect the meeting's scope beyond just the Wikimedia Foundation and reality that the metrics discussed during this meeting several years ago have long-ago moved to more frequently updated and accessible platforms (such as the online report card and related analytics reports).

The next Wikimedia monthly activities meeting will take place on Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 6:00 PM UTC (11 AM PDT). The IRC channel is #wikimedia-office on https://webchat.freenode.net, and the meeting will be broadcast as a live YouTube stream.[1] We will post the video recording publicly after the meeting.

Meeting agenda:
* Welcome and introduction
* Movement update
* Update on mobile personas work with Logic Department
* Introducing the Wikimedia Product Principles
* Update on Wikimedia monthly activities meeting
* Questions and discussion
* Wikilove

Please review the meeting's Meta-Wiki page for further information about the meeting and how to participate:

We will be making some updates to the Meta-Wiki page in the coming weeks, and discussing those changes during the upcoming meeting.
The September 2018 monthly activities meeting will take place on Thursday, 27 September, starting at 18:00 UTC (11:00 Pacific Daylight Time).

Thank you,

-greg
