Hello Everyone,

Like every year the Wikimedia Board of Trustees will have a board meeting in the days preceding Wikimania. Our meeting in London has the following agenda:

== August 6, 2014 ==

Special items from Committees Lila's first three months Strategy planning Chapter site visits and evaluations User groups Funds Dissemination Committee Wikimedia Belgium

== August 7, 2014 ==

Board appointments Board legal duties Board officer elections Chapter's Dialogue Trustee evaluation Executive session

If you have additional comments or questions please feel free to leave a message on the Board noticeboard: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard

Alternatively, if you are lucky enough to be able to attend Wikimania it is good to know that we are attending as well. Please come and find us if you have something that you think the board should be aware of. At the same time you will probably meet a lot more people at Wikimania who have a very practical approach in making “cool projects reality”, so I would encourage you to seek out other attendees to see if you can make great things happen!

Finally I would like to draw your attention to the annual Board Q&A which takes place at Wikimania on the 8th of August at 15:00. Please feel free to leave questions at: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Questions_for_the_Q%26A_with_Wikime... but we are also just going to answer questions from the audience. I commit that all written questions left on the above page will be answered in some online way if we do not get to them during the Q&A. This might take a few weeks but it will happen.
