1. Annual Report
   • Markus I wrote up the annual report for last year. If everyone could please reiew & update if needed.
     • Annual Report 2020
   • Some open questions:
     1. How much did we spend on incorporation and other activities?
     2. How much did we collect from members?
   • Bryan I can work on getting those numbers and generate a full report of our spending by looking at our bank account
   • Markus Hallo Welt! is ready to become a member, but wondering about cost of SWIFT transfer vs. Credit Card
     • Bryan It looks like SWIFT international transfers are around $45, we should balance that cost vs. Credit Card percentages (for example, if the total CC transaction fee was 3% for the transaction and Authorize.net, the breakeven point assuming $45 SWIFT fee would be $1,500)
   • Markus I had some issues with becoming an individual member (which stopped me from becoming a enterprise member with Hallo Welt!)
     • Mark This should be fixed now
2. MWStake Goals & Objectives
   • Eric-Jan What are MWStakes Goals & Objectives for the year?
     • Eric-Jan Should we get MW on the Gartner software list?
       • Bryan PG&E's IT tried to use Gartner's Magic Quadrant against using MW, but it was a very flawed argument since it lists vendors that have "achieved a minimum of $10 million in subscription, license and/or maintenance revenue for calendar year 2013 for the domains listed below", so MW wouldn't be on the list, but individual companies could.
   • Mark Should be create a sub-group to discuss this?
     • Cindy We did a group last year and came up with PDF rendering
       • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3911/
       • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255800
     • Bryan I talked to Nishay, the developer who created DocBookExport, it looks like it had a lot of potential
       • Mark We looked at that and created a Phabricator ticket to investigate using it for our needs
     • Cindy Also, our group is small enough we could just discuss this here
   • Bryan EMWCon this year will be going virtual, the EMWCon page still shows Nashville, but this will be changing
   • Eric-Jan There has been some discussion about "Project Canasta"
     • Eric-Jan Hallo Welt! & Wikibase have worked on something similar
     • Markus Many efforts in the community to do something similar
     • Bryan Some notes about the project on my userpage
   • ACTION ITEMMark I will schedule a meeting for Goals & Objectives
