Hi all - just wanted to let you know the outcomes of the survey. Based on the feedback, we're now:

* Going forward, after meetings and some post-processing, copying meeting notes and linking to specific videos in a per-event page. * Setting the channel topic consistently in #wikimedia-office (thanks to others who have done this in the past).

We received a limited number of responses but I mainly wanted to acknowledge that we continue to think about what other options might be appropriate for better targeted presentations and times, group size, or audience. On the one hand it would be nice to have separate sessions for different time zones, and my impression is that a smaller group setting would be more comfortable for some presenters (you may recall this sprang from the original mobile showcase, a smaller group). On the other hand, each event requires a fair amount of work and one hope is that different stakeholders can get access to a broader set of topics without too much in the way of formality.

As part of the follow up on this in line with the privacy statement, I'll now be removing the survey responses from the backend.

Thanks to all who responded, and as always thanks to our great presenters and interested viewers.

-Adam

And, as usual, if you'd like to share the news about the upcoming CREDIT, here's some suggested verbiage.

*Hi <FNAME>*

*I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know about CREDIT, a monthly demo series that we’re running to showcase open source tech projects from Wikimedia’s Community, Reading, Editing, Discovery, Infrastructure and Technology teams. *

*CREDIT is open to the public, and we welcome questions and discussion. The next CREDIT will be held on February 1st at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 19:00 UTC. *

*There’s more info on MediaWiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase, and on Etherpad https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/CREDIT, which is where we take notes and ask questions. You can also ask questions on IRC in the Freenode chatroom #wikimedia-office (web-based access here https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23wikimedia-office). Links to video will become available at these locations shortly before the event.*

*Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested folks. Our projects tend to focus on areas that might be of interest to folks working across the open source tech community: language detection, numerical sort, large data visualizations, maps, and all sorts of other things.*

*If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks, and I hope to see you at CREDIT.*

*YOURNAME*

Thanks!
