Reminder that an open community meeting is proposed for this Saturday, Feb. 5. on IRC: freednode#wikimedia
Please add your agenda items! http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meetings
based on feedback I'd like to move the time down to 1800-1900 UTC (that's 10 am PST).
Let me know if you can help moderate. Looking forward to it, Phoebe

Hi all,
Back in September we had an open community IRC meeting, where we introduced the new Trustees and talked about various issues. It was pretty successful and we discussed afterwards making such "community meetings" a regular event.
I'd like to revive this idea :) I've made a proposal for having community meetings on the first Saturday of the month: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meetings
Which would make the first upcoming meeting on February 5.
I proposed 17:00UTC as a time, but please discuss good days/times on the talk page if you are interested in attending; we'll need to rotate times.
I envision this as not really a Q&A session like the staff office hours, but rather as a chance for community members to get together and talk about important issues in a structured way. To that end, please add your proposed agenda items to the wiki. It would also be great to have some volunteers to take notes/moderate.
Of course this is just an experiment -- but there seemed to be a lot of interest in having such meetings, so I'd like to try it out. Let me know what you think and if you'd be interested.
best, Phoebe
