Agenda

edit
  • Icebreaker/Group think activity: "Kaleidoscope conversation"
    • The moderator will start with a question, then, we will go around and each person will ask a question based on the previous question. Only questions, no answers/responses! The point is to generate a list of ideas in the form of questions, because questions provide a lot of depth and direction, getting to the heart of presences and absences.
  • What are your preferences for a recurring User Group meeting time going forward? Weekends or weekdays?
  • A WM LGBT Communications Committee is forming, and will have breakout meetings to discuss social media strategy, press outreach, moderation of Telegram and group channels, promotion, etc. Who wants to join?

(please add any specific Wikimedia projects/events/activities topics you'd like to share with the group or open for discussion)
