Hi,
I'm glad that this conversation is going in a positive direction.
I have spent the last several days contemplating that after the events of
this summer, if I see WMF in any way associated with a surprise, I get a
stress headache and wonder what new problem has started. If I had a more
positive view of WMF, while I wouldn't have sent the WMF site "on strike"
in the way that WMF did it, I'd probably have bypassed this issue and moved
on to something else.
I'd like to suggest that going forward we change the title of this thread
to something like "Wikimedia travel, environmental costs, and financial
costs" to reflect the broader scope of this discussion,
Pine
