[17:31:47] Good morning J-Mo. [17:35:03] hi Pine [17:52:12] Good morning DrMel [17:58:19] Hello! [17:58:33] Hi tzatziki [18:00:13] Wikimedia monthly activities meeting about to begin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZMZWX0bvnw [18:01:24] ShortURLs! Yeah boiiii! [18:01:26] Hi Lincoln! [18:03:08] Video is live but no audio. [18:03:31] We haven't started just yet. [18:03:39] OK. [18:03:47] Here we go :) [18:04:12] Questions and stuff to me please :) [18:10:13] Tzatziki, I will ask a question for later. Is WMF obligated to comply with rulings of non-US courts, and if so, why and under what circumstances? Maybe these questions are answered in a blog post but I would be interested in a one to two minute verbal explanation. Thanks! [18:10:45] I'll queue it. [18:11:34] thanks Pine :) [18:16:29] Pine: Can you elaborate on how that relates to the topics being discussed in this meeting? As I have mentioned to you before, we do not plan for general questions - and so it is hard to expect that someone in the audience may happen to have an answer to a question on a topic they were not prepared to speak to. [18:17:20] I suggest reading the blog post - as you mentioned - and following up with Legal via email if you have followup questions. :) [18:17:37] If you think it would be helpful to hear more about that topic - you are welcome to encourage them to present about it at a future meeting. [18:19:31] The answer is almost certainly going to be some kind of "we can't answer that publicly", just by the nature of how legal stuff works, so [18:19:59] Varnet, this question came to my mind because of the ruling of the German court concerning Wikimedia content. But if no one is prepared to talk about that then I'm fine with tabling the subject. [18:22:38] The more I think about this the more that tabling sounds reasonable, so I'll go with that. Thanks. [18:22:58] Noted! [18:23:01] thanks :) [18:29:20] Remember, questions and comments to me if you want them asked / read out :) [18:35:52] If anyone wants to shout out an activity you are excited about or that you are working on, please ping me! [18:37:10] Stuff I'm excited about that are not mine: Sam Walton's RetractionBot: https://twitter.com/samwalton9/status/1120096215008448514 and Jake Orlowitz's 1lib1ref campaign: http://1lib1ref.org/ [18:38:34] thanks tzatziki :) [18:38:35] thank you guillom (who is sitting right next to me!) [18:42:03] Wikiblind: that is very cool! [18:43:46] I am excited about seeing the amount of work happening to make programs in the Community Engagement Department special for the years to come and the shifts that they bring, especially dear to me, the ideas around working much more and much better with affiliates. [18:44:34] I will read it out once I get my mic back :D [18:44:40] thanks! [18:46:13] Any others from you guys? :) [18:46:27] uhhh.. sorry - you all** [18:46:29] Is there a link for Wikiblind? (I tried searching meta, enwiki, google, my email. No obvious results) [18:47:45] varnent (when he sits down) ^ [18:48:07] Any Q&A? (Q&D??) [18:49:04] Wikilove pls! [18:49:08] Wikilove for the WMDE Technical Wishes team. They are consistently developing features that I like and that are applicable to multiple wikis. Thanks for the good work. [18:50:38] Tanveer via Google Meet: "1000 + Wiki Love to Robert :) :)" [18:50:58] I guess that's Robert Miller? :D [18:51:07] I would guess so! [18:52:44] not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mueller [18:53:22] Yeah... I may have slightly misspoken. heh [18:53:26] Apologies! [18:53:40] Vowels are hard! [18:54:00] sorry, I couldn't resist! [18:54:59] Thanks all!! [18:55:08] HAHAHAHA [18:55:14] varnent: activities meeting [18:55:18] not metrics [18:55:22] just saying :P [18:55:28] It will always be Metrics to us! [18:55:42] Yeah - lol - I am happy when I use the right name 75% of the time. :p [18:55:50] all the metrics belong to us [18:56:03] Just like wikimedia-l will always be foundation-l. [19:04:31] varnent, hmmm, actually instead of my question above ("Is there a link for Wikiblind?"), it'd be great if we could get all the links (or even just titles if they were sent to you without links) that were mentioned today, onwiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_monthly_activities_meetings/2019-04 [19:11:36] quiddity: I like that idea - although I will admit I do not have the time today to do it. :( [19:12:04] nod. Maybe just the link to Wikiblind then, if you were sent one? [19:15:55] I do not have one handy - but have asked Melissa for one via email :) [19:17:37] ty!
