[17:50:18] <James_F>	 Okie-dokie.
[17:50:30] <James_F>	 We'll be doing this month's Monthly acitivities meeting in a few minutes' time.
[17:51:01] <James_F>	 As normal, I'm the IRC facilitator, supporting the real facilitator, Kui Kinyanjui, Vice President Communications.
[17:51:18] <James_F>	 The stream will be available through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J86J8N1gExk and uploaded to Commons afterwards.
[17:52:08] <James_F>	 I can take questions, comments, and queries as they occur to you, and either prompt an answer in here or ask at the Q&A section at the end.
[17:52:17] <James_F>	 Welcome. :-)
[18:00:51] <James_F>	 OK, and we're live now.
[18:13:53] <sundry>	 Nice presentation! :)
[18:14:00] <James_F>	 [Oh my]
[18:14:24] <sundry>	 Yeah - if that wasn't audible on the stream, we did in fact say a collective "oh my".
[18:14:31] <sundry>	 I hope you did, too, viewer!
[18:15:25] <Pine>	 It looks like my video is lagging about 1 minute behind the live meeting, so please keep that in mind when it comes time for Q&A at the end of the meeting. :)
[18:15:37] <Pine>	 I imagine that I'm not the only one with lagging video.
[18:15:43] <James_F>	 Pine: Start writing your questions now. :-)
[18:15:53] <sundry>	 brendan_campbell: Just FYI. ^
[18:16:16] <brendan_campbell>	 will do Pine
[18:16:29] <brendan_campbell>	 we can definitely improve in that area (waiting for the lag to catch up)
[18:16:46] <brendan_campbell>	 youtube stream usually lags 20 to 60 seconds
[18:16:53] <Pine>	 Thanks. It's not really a problem, at least for me, as long as the meeting doesn't rush though Q&A and Wikilove at the end.
[18:18:41] <Pine>	 Sorry if it sounds like I was complaining. I was just asking people to be mindful of the lag.
[18:19:53] <brendan_campbell>	 didn't sound like that at all to me! thanks
[18:23:53] <sundry>	 I would go for the ice cream.
[18:24:05] <guillom>	 Same.
[18:25:04] <guillom>	 Or feedback à la mode :)
[18:25:15] <sundry>	 :P
[18:38:53] <Pine>	 When it's time for Q&A, I would like to ask the strategy team how work is going with regards to diversifying the composition of the working groups. I would be most interested in knowing about how many non-staff people have been added to working groups. I understand that it would be difficult to get volunteers for such a big commitment, and I'd like to know how that aspect of diversification is going. Thanks.
[18:39:02] <James_F>	 Pine: Sure.
[18:44:49] <sundry>	 Gonna miss Eileen a whole lot. :(
[18:45:54] <Pine>	 I will boldly make a motion that Michelle Paulson be considered for WMF General Counsel.
[18:46:23] * Pine liked Michelle in that role
[18:47:14] <sundry>	 Get your Wikilove and Q&A in :)
[18:47:46] <James_F>	 More questions welcome!
[18:53:06] <brendan_campbell>	 hotel room wifi :)
[18:53:15] <James_F>	 Yeah.
[18:53:17] <brendan_campbell>	 wikilove to that
[18:53:53] <sundry>	 :D
[18:54:02] <Pine>	 When it's time for Wikilove, I'd like to say thanks to the strategy team and especially volunteers for all of the good-faith effort that seems to be happening. I realize that the strategy process is big and complicated and difficult, and I appreciate people putting in good faith effort.
[18:54:23] <James_F>	 +1 to Pine.
[18:57:21] <sundry>	 Gods, that purple+green is BRIGHT
[18:57:34] <James_F>	 Yeah, too bright.
[18:58:15] <varnent>	 lol - yeah this slide is getting very busy - lol
[18:58:15] <sundry>	 any more lurve?
[18:58:32] <varnent>	 although the colors are the same..
[18:58:50] <heatherw>	 Someone added the unicorn award from the Teahouse
[18:59:16] <James_F>	 Also, no alpaca yet?
[18:59:18] <janna_WMF>	 Are they? I've never noticed before and now it hurts my eyes. Just because sundry mentioned it?
[18:59:34] <sundry>	 It's just a super jarring combo, especially when on the projector ;)
[18:59:37] <James_F>	 Thank you everyone!
[18:59:44] <brendan_campbell>	 thanks all.
[18:59:45] <varnent>	 yeah that was by request - maybe I'll ask Blanca for a nicer one :)
[18:59:46] <sundry>	 \o/
[19:12:08] <rfarrand>	 heatherw & James_F maybe consider a racconicorn?
[19:14:05] <James_F>	 Umm. :-)
[19:17:25] <heatherw>	 wat is that!?!?
[19:17:40] <heatherw>	 Haha, I made the first one and it was intended to...get attention.
[19:39:53] <Pine>	 It does get attention from me, but I've never been sure what I'm supposed to think.
[19:39:57] <Pine>	 It reminds me of bubble gum.
[19:40:08] <Pine>	 Maybe that's okay.
[19:49:33] <heatherw>	 That's okay with me :)
