Lease commencement

@GVarnum-WMF: 2024 is when the lease ends, not when it commences, isn't it? --Yair rand (talk) 23:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

@Yair rand: Apologies - I misread it, and have updated the wording to be clearer. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 23:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

New offices

So, uh, was there going to be announcement somewhere that the WMF now has offices in Washington DC? (And possibly New York City as well?)

I feel like this was a pretty big failure in transparency. Can someone from the WMF post some information? --Yair rand (talk) 07:40, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

I did pick up some information about this in the last few months, but I don't remember whether it was non-public information or whether it was buried in some public information about new hires and public policy and stuff. So I won't tell what I know, for now, until I check (not that it's anything particularly shocking).

I do agree it would be interesting, in particular, for the WMF to provide an update on how its practices towards remote workers have evolved in the last few years. That's something that matters a lot to our movement for a lot of reasons, including the WMF's ability to work well with our very global and interconnected community. Nemo 22:06, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
