REMINDER: This meeting starts in 30 minutes. 
Update/change to Movement update: As noted in the March meeting invite, we are changing the movement update section of the metrics meeting. For the April meeting, we will be having a lightning talk-inspired movement update where Wikimedia community member(s) will share a brief summary of a recent community project, story, or other activity. More details about other community stories, projects, and initiatives in the movement will be available in the appendix of the metrics meeting deck.

Hello everyone, 

The next Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting will take place on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 6:00 PM UTC (11 AM PDT). The IRC channel is #wikimedia-office on irc.freenode.net, and the meeting will be broadcast as a live YouTube stream.

The theme of the April meeting is: “Wikimedia for the world” (part 2) –
understanding how we can better serve and include people around the world
in the Wikimedia movement. Because we had so many timely and relevant stories from around the movement related to this theme, we chose to use this theme for the April meeting as well. 

Meeting agenda:

* Welcomes, theme introduction
* Movement update
* New Readers update 
* Exploring the world of Wikipedia in indigenous languages of Latin America
* Movement strategy update
* Questions and discussion
* Wikilove

Please review 
for further information about the meeting and how to participate.

We’ll post the video recording publicly after the meeting.

Thank you,
Lena
