@Urbanecm, @kostajh, @Catrope, and I (or some combination thereof) can represent the new editor experiences focus area during this session.

Thank you @MMiller_WMF, does not make a difference to me. :) Just choose your one person and let me know.
@josephine_l will be speaking about Mobile contributions, yay!
We do not have a representative from Tools for teaching yet, @Ragesoss would you be up for it?

Basically we will have one simple slide and it will say:

Focus Areas:

• New editor experiences
• Mobile contributions to Wikimedia Commons
• Tool for teaching with Wikipedia

Each of the topics will send up their one representative and in order the person should (in 60-90 seconds please!) give a quick overview of the planned work making sure that anything you say is understandable and accessible to people who have not heard anything about your project / area / team / before.

Sound good? Any questions?
