Hi,

Coming 26th Feb (Thursday) at 9 PM - 10.30 PM,

WMIN EC members and I would like to host a IRC chat with community members.

We see this as an opportunity to explain WMIN's current activities and future plans.

would be a good read before joining this chat.

If there is promising engagement from the community, we are also thinking of launching biweekly IRC events with focus on individual communities and members. For example, Punjabi / Konkani / Malayalam Wikipedians can answer questions from the community, explain what they do etc., We can also invite senior members / featured Wikimedians as guests for such IRC chats.

Please see

which explains how to join this chat.
