Hello Wikitech-l colleagues,
I don't know how much interest there is on Wikitech-l regarding meeting invitations for the Wikimedia Café, but I'm cross-posting this invitation for the to the list. If I hear a bunch of complaints then I will stop the cross-posting of Café invitations when there are not clearly tech-oriented items on the agenda for the Café. However, I would hope that some subscribers to Wikitech-l are interested in the Café.
A reminder: you are welcome to add items to the Café's agenda.
Best wishes for the new year, Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )

Hello colleagues,
The Wikimedia Café meetings have generally been well received. We had approximately seven people in the December meeting. In an attempt to make the meetings be accessible to more people, in January 2020 the Café is tentatively scheduled for a Saturday, and the Café will be earlier in the day. The meeting will be on 25 January 2020 at the following time: 11:30 AM EST, 4:30 PM UTC, and 10 PM ITC.
During the most recent Café we had an extensive discussion about documentation for Wikitext and templates. We ran out of time to discuss NavWiki https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/NavWiki. For the January meeting the only non-introductory agenda item so far is NavWiki. You are welcome to add more items to the agenda https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9#25_January_2020_at_11:30_AM_EST_/_4:30_PM_UTC_PM_UTC_/_10_PM_IST .
As usual, the meeting style for the Café will emphasize discussion rather than presentation. People are welcome to participate as listeners only if they prefer.
Please see the page on Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 for more information about the Café. Please watch the page for any updates, particularly to the schedule or the agenda. Signing up for the meeting is optional, but is helpful to the organizers so that we can estimate how many people will attend. Signing up for the meeting also informs us who we should notify individually if there are significant changes, such as changes to the schedule.
If there are any problems with connecting to the meeting or if you have any questions or comments then please write on the Meta talk page.
Best wishes for the new year, Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )
After re-reading what I wrote, I think that I came across as being irritated, and I'm sorry about that. I was rushing to get that email out, and I should have slowed down. Let me try this again.
With the hope that some folks on Wikitech-l may be interested in this invitation to the Wikimedia Café, I am sharing it here. There may be some feeling on Wikitech-l that these invitations are not sufficiently technical, and if I get the sense that there is a consensus on Wiitech-l that these invitations are distractions unless there are technical subjects on the agenda then I will respect that decision and refrain from sharing Wikimedia Café invitations to Wikitech-l except when there are technical subjects on the agenda. However, I hope that there will be general interest in the Cafe..Anyone is welcome to add a topic to the agenda.
Apologizes again for being hasty and for sounding irritated in my previous email.
