[Engineering] [Wmfall] Community building through in person events / Rock-Star event organizers?

[Amanda Bittaker]

The CEE group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Central_and_Eastern_Europe> does
a great job of this, their annual meeting
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2017> always
includes planning regional programs that run the rest of the year.

Cheers,
Amanda
