Andrew, I support you going to represent WREN. If there is training and
learning that's more widely and virtually available, I'd be curious to
listen in/join.

A few notes:
1. Most of the conversation for this is happening in the Telegram group
for Movement Strategy. Organizers are indicating that it is going to be
very strict and restricted to one representative per affiliate, and there
is not even a guarantee that everyone will be able to go. It will depend on
COVID vaccination status, visas, etc. In short, there appear to be no extra
spots and unlike earlier Wikimedia Summits
2. This is the first year WREN will be eligible to go to Wikimedia Summit.
I'd be interested in going to represent WREN for Movement Strategy and to
help with the learning days function, depending on what their plans are. By
all accounts, they don't have any firm plans yet and are trying to figure
it out. In the past, the Summit has had some dedicated days for tutorials
and training, and we could certainly do something around GLAM tools, not
only for IRL attendees but remotely too. Either in person or remote, I'm
happy to help. It's very confusing about how much they are going to allow
outsiders to participate, as they are protective of small group dynamics.
But for training and learning, they may be more inclusive.
3. There are Questions & Answers sessions for the team at these times
(which are NOT on the wiki)
Wednesday, April 6, 7:00 UTC
Thursday, April 7, 17:00 UTC

Yup - It is a bit strange, but I also do not know
if it was like that
pre-pandemic...
@Pharos would you be there via the Movement Charter drafting group?
Who are the other members that might be there anyway?
It would be awesome if more people can join.
I am interested in attending.
Best - Z

Hi all,
As a bit of a surprise, the Wikimedia Summit 2022 announced they are
going to have an in-real-life meeting September 9-11, 2022 (2022-09-09 to
09-11). They are only giving us two weeks to designate one person to apply
to attend, which is very fast.
I wanted to start this thread to get folks thinking before our meeting
tomorrow, to see who might be interested in going. We have rarely had any
kind of Wikimedia movement gathering in September of any particular year,
so the timing is a bit unusual as it tends to be busy with a number of
start-of-school activities in certain places.
The focus will be on movement strategy among other things. I'm putting a
link to the announcement here. Feel free to send any questions or discuss
via email or come to the meeting tomorrow.
