Hello, and our apologies for the short notice and for potentially not delivering this message in your native language. Please help circulate this information in your community (there's a mini survey attached!). Thank you!
We, the team working on the Community Wishlist Survey, would like to invite you to an online meeting with us. It will take place on 14 September (Wednesday), 13:00 UTC on Zoom, and will last around 45 minutes. This external system is not subject to the WMF Privacy Policy. Click here to join.
Agenda Topic: Maintenance Conversation
We are reviewing the way in which we maintain our work. We have looked at how other teams maintain theirs and have asked around, so we would like to present our new approach to maintenance; we want to share how we came up with this approach and collect feedback about it.
Format
The meeting will not be recorded or streamed. Notes without attribution will be taken on Etherpad and published on Meta-Wiki. Any presentation (all points in the agenda except for the questions and answers) will be given in English.
We can answer questions asked in English, Spanish, and German. If you would like to ask questions in advance, add them to the current Talk to Us talk page or send to ksiebert@wikimedia.org.
Karolin Siebert (the Community Tech team's Engineering Manager) will be hosting this meeting.

But wait, there's more!
As we want to introduce more regular "talk to us" hours, we have some questions about what you would like to see in them and what would be valuable to do in them! We were thinking something along these lines:
- Community support hours where volunteers can ask questions about proposals they would like to make, or contributions they need help with; we could let them suggest topics in advance, so we can prepare for them
- Talk about our documentation approach as CommTech and collect feedback about how we can improve our documentation to encourage contributions to our tools
- Discussion about our maintenance approach
- Presentation of our roadmap
- Brainstorming session about how community members envision CommTech in the future
- What else?
Mini-survey
- What would you like to do during our "Talk to us" hours? What would make sense from the above suggestions and what else would you like to see?
- What topics would you like to discuss during the next sessions?
- Is there anything else you would like us to know?
Please use the talk page to answer these questions! We hope to see you soon!
