Update:  After the call, we reconfigured to focus on a series of smaller events leading up to a global "Wiki Week" in January:  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_20_Countdown

The first of these would be a virtual Wiknic, probably on a Sunday in mid-late August: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic

Join our planning session for "Wiki Week", a concept for an online social alternative to Wikimania this year, so we can figure out format and date ideas:

You can RSVP there, and I'll also send you a direct calendar invite if wanted.

It's 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific on Sunday July 26.

The planning session will be on Google Meet:

The project might be more or less ambitious, depending on how many people are interested, and on what we can schedule.

This would provide a partial alternative to Wikimania / WikiConference North America, and conceivably even apply aspects of the Wiknic.

Thanks,
