Re: [Wikitech-l] Invitation to a "Wikimedia Café" casual online meetup

Hi, the Wikimedia Café for January will be on Wednesday the 23rd at 11 AM Pacific / 7 PM UTC. The Zoom link is below. Because of the monthly limit for emails from any one person to Wikimedia-l and my wish to conserve my remaining emails to that list for other topics, I likely will not send a reminder about this event, so please mark your calendars now if you want to attend. Thanks!
