Use official twitter account and communication channels to advertise new MediaWiki features. For example reasons why people should update * Richard: translate these messages to German * Are there other languages we can target? Russian (Natasha Brown), Chinese developer for Mandarin and Cantonese, Spanish, French * Find one person per language * Use the translation feature on MW.o * This is time critical. Start in November before the release. * Use official WMF blog as a medium (official announcements are important for media) * Write this from a users' perspective * ContentHandler and it's possibilities are great and this should be communicated. ==== AffCom application ==== * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Cooperation/Tasks/Application * Application will be submitted on Monday, after finalizing it together with Manuel === Communication structures === * Markus proposes to use a seperate mailing list (e.g. mediawiki-co-op-l) for coordination of the group * We need other ways of informing people that something is happening than mediawiki-l * Mark created a Google event === Ideas on fundraising === * Richard says crowdfunding software focused on MW Developers * what software can we use? * Not a tool question. Do we have the power and resources? * Other sources of funding: ** apply for grants together with partner ** Go to large users and see if they want to do this for their corporate social responsibility ** Try to do cold calls? It is a lot of effort and the expected result is not very high * Our ability to raise money also depends on plans for MediaWiki. We should start a conversation with the Foundation about their plans with MediaWiki. === Organisational === ==== Saturday as possible meeting time ==== * We must have a conversation with people of the group about a good time slot. === Other === * Next meeting is in three weeks, time and date to be confirmed * potentially Friday, October 17th or Saturday, October 18th Meeting closes @ 6:59 PM UTC
