That does sound like a pretty cool idea. :)

Thanks for the input. I had been thinking of this as a
meeting where
useful communications and discussions would happen, but maybe going in the
opposite direction would have more appeal. I could simply host a casual
meetup on Zoom an hour before the WMF metrics meeting. There would be no
agenda, and the environment would be like a coffee house. People could talk
about whatever Wikimedia-related subjects are on their minds. Does that
sound like it would be of interest?

"Community Metrics and Activities
Meeting"
I think Rupert has a point..... I would consider getting up at 5AM for a
general conversation but not to be bored.
More loose, fun would be good. I can't do the end of this month - will be
travelling.
Cheers, Richard.

pine, i find the lack of feedback a pity, so let
me give at least my
personal impression. "activities and metrics" sounded bureaucratic, and
it
sounded like work, not rewarding. the opposite of
fun. not sure if a
regular meetup would work better? a hangout? same time all the time. no
matter how many persons are there, maybe once a month? one would need to
think a little about the fun though.

Hi all,
Given the lack of interest and lack of suggestions, I'm going to cancel
the
meeting. However, if other people would like to
be bold in organizing a
meeting like this, they are welcome to do so.
I would like to encourage interpersonal and social connections among
good-faith Wikimedia content contributors and grassroots project
organizers, and I'd be glad to see suggestions and initiatives which do
this.
