Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:
We are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and
develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the
conversation.
There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your
own:
· Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other
organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement)[1]
· Track B (individual contributors): On Meta[2] or your local language or project wiki[3]
This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The
purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes
around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15
years?
We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and
diverse participation from all parts of our movement.
Sincerely,
Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support
teams [1][4]
