[17:47:44] <James_F>	 Hi everyone.
[17:47:50] <James_F>	 We'll be getting started soon.
[17:49:49] <James_F>	 I'll be the IRC facilitator.
[17:50:02] <James_F>	 You can see the agenda at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_monthly_activities_meetings
[17:59:54] <James_F>	 We'll be starting in a few moments.
[18:00:45] <James_F>	 OK, we're going live now.
[18:00:53] <James_F>	 If you have any A/V issues, please shout out in here.
[18:05:43] <janna_WMF>	 Will there be photos of the penguins in SA, I wonder?
[18:05:52] <James_F>	 We can but hope. :-)
[18:06:17] <kritzolina>	 Isabella would love that sooooo much
[18:23:26] <vcoleman>	 Here is a super cool visualization of language gaps - inspired by sessions at Wikimania Cape Town, and expertly executed by Erik Zachte: https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/participation/d3_participation_global.html
[18:23:46] <vcoleman>	 And one more: https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/participation/d3_participation_continent.html
[18:23:53] <James_F>	 vcoleman: It's really compelling, thank you for sharing it.
[18:26:27] <kritzolina>	 thanks, yes, this is really interesting!
[18:26:54] <vcoleman>	 Just you wait until you see my penguin photos! :->
[18:28:26] <vcoleman>	 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/qSkOFb4o/1538072901.JPG
[18:28:34] <janna_WMF>	 Yay!
[18:28:43] <James_F>	 ❤️
[18:29:31] <vcoleman>	 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/NmI0n635/1538072968.JPG
[18:29:37] <James_F>	 If you have questions for Douglas, ask away and I'll get them asked at the Q&A section.
[18:29:42] <cwylo>	 oh no they're adorable
[18:32:37] <DanielK_WMDE_>	 Looks like Basques are the most ardent editors: 187 editors per million speakers. except there arn't a million speaker. so i guess it's like 100 editors total.
[18:35:06] <tzatziki>	 the basques are of course very proud of their language :)
[18:38:57] <kritzolina>	 Victoria, Isabella does not want me to go back to looking at the video now ... I have a problem :P
[18:38:58] <HaeB>	 link just shown in the last slide https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Supporting_Indian_Language_Wikipedias_Program (I think there was also another one about stats)
[18:39:22] <James_F>	 Thanks, HaeB.
[18:40:55] <vcoleman>	 Sorry! Not sorry! https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/WNRjsLAT/1538073637.JPG
[18:41:48] <janna_WMF>	 Penguin party!
[18:41:53] <kritzolina>	 yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy (Isabella now typing)
[18:44:33] <ragesoss>	 Where is the video about the MISTT pilot?
[18:44:49] <James_F>	 I don't know, sorry.
[18:44:51] <James_F>	 Anyone?
[18:45:35] <jaufrecht>	 re: language gap analysis, https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/participation/d3_participation_continent.html,
[18:45:55] <jaufrecht>	 I'm a little surprised to see a difference of four orders of magnitude between highest and lowest adoption languages
[18:46:20] <jaufrecht>	 and now I'm wondering what this looks like for other programs/communities.  FB, whatsapp, etc.
[18:47:00] <jaufrecht>	 is the growth and adoption curve mostly similar for all services and languages, with the only difference being when each curve starts, or does it vary in patterns, or it is chaotic?
[18:48:01] <janna_WMF>	 Aw, nice photo
[18:48:42] <James_F>	 jaufrecht: I don't know if Erik Z. is here.
[18:51:04] <delphine>	 I think Tanveer is experiencing lag
[18:55:15] <varnent>	 MISTT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvjMnvL0EE
[18:55:23] <James_F>	 varnent: Thank you!
[18:55:37] <ragesoss>	 Thanks varnent!
[18:55:57] <James_F>	 Any questions for anyone?
[18:56:04] <James_F>	 So far I have none.
[18:56:10] <delphine>	 Does Kaarel get a prize for catching up on Douglas taking too much time? ;)
[18:56:27] <delphine>	 and speaking super fast? ;)
[18:56:38] <James_F>	 We're currently running at a provisional [42–48–53–57] :-)
[18:57:14] <James_F>	 Which means the Movement Strategy team will have almost perfectly in their time length.
[18:57:24] <delphine>	 oh wow.
[18:57:38] <James_F>	 Err. + run.
[18:59:17] <ragesoss>	 Question: How large was the MISTT pilot in Rwanda? And what is the timeline for the next phases?
[18:59:33] <tzatziki>	 Is there anything on YouTube?
[18:59:56] <James_F>	 ragesoss: Just scraped in, thanks. :-)
[18:59:59] <brendan_campbell>	 Nope
[19:00:37] <ragesoss>	 thanks!
[19:00:45] <James_F>	 WikiLove comments?
[19:01:17] <kritzolina>	 huge amount of Wikilove for the South African chapter once more!!!
[19:01:20] <janna_WMF>	 Yay, there's a unicorn now!
[19:01:24] <James_F>	 That link was https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_monthly_activities_meetings/Sign_up
[19:01:25] <delphine>	 special love to Tanveer for being up at 2.30 am or so.
[19:01:42] <ragesoss>	 Too late for followup, but I'm interested to know how / whether the impact on people's Wikipedia usage will be measured. Seems very interesting, but also hard to measure!
[19:01:44] <guillom>	 There's no wikilove, only the love of (upcoming) pizza.
[19:01:52] <tzatziki>	 mmmm. pizza.
[19:02:24] <kritzolina>	 don't talk about pizza in front of people not in the office!
[19:02:55] <tzatziki>	 I have no idea what Greg is talking about
[19:03:00] <janna_WMF>	 Thanks for that, Greg
[19:03:19] <Pine>	 I'd like to offer some WikiLove for my colleagues on Research-l for the ongoing discussions about difficult and persistent issues in community health, diversity, and contributor retention.
[19:03:48] <James_F>	 Thanks everyone!
[19:03:51] <janna_WMF>	 Hearings on Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court. One of his victims was cross-examined today
