Discussions
Blog post Looking Forward: 2025 Priorities
Martin presented the draft blog post Looking Forward: 2025 Priorities to review the general structure. The group discussed whether we should include more operational items in the blog post, such as developer hiring and BarCamp organization. Since the blog post will be used for fundraising efforts, the group agreed not to mention these items. We want to maintain the focus on our future goals rather than providing updates on ongoing projects. We can communicate separately with the community regarding hiring and BarCamp.
Martin will open the PR for review on Jan 23 and hope to merge it on Monday, Jan 27.
Outreach campaign
Martin will reach out to the Wikimedia Foundation to continue the conversation. The group discussed the creation of the Product and Technology Advisory Council. This council will serve as a forum for the community to engage with the Wikimedia Foundation's tech department and provide input on the community's needs and desires.
Martin will also contact CZI and Sloan to present our 2025 goalpost.
Developer hiring
Martin reminded the group about the meeting on January 24 for the hiring committee to review candidates.
Grant reporting due
By the end of January, Martin will produce
- Financial reporting for Wikimedia-23 grants
- Final report for the diversity grant.
