As many of you know, Wikimedia has embarked on an ambitious strategic planning process. The goal is to come up with a five-year strategic plan for the Wikimedia movement. Obviously, tech plays a critical role in all of this. We're in the process of taking a deeper dive into tech-related issues, and as part of that, we want to hold regular, logged discussions on IRC. Our first session will be on Monday, November 2 at 21:00 UTC (8am EDT; 1pm PST; 10pm CET). We'll be talking on #wikimedia-strategy on freenode. Hope that many of you will be there. I'd also encourage you to participate on the wiki at: http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Task_force/Technology_infrastructure,_in… and http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Emerging_strategic_priorities/ESP_5… Let me know if you have questions.
