The meeting request is sent to Sarah Roth.

We met on 2019-08-05 and discussed this task. The todo-s from the meeting are:

• [Miriam] to follow up with Rachel to figure out how much time we have for a pitch at the beginning of the hackathon.
• [All] to prepare 1-2 mini tasks for the hackathon.
• [Diego] to coordinate sign ups for sessions to make sure we have a good coverage of community presentations. ([[ To learn about the needs of the communities and turn them to research questions when relevant. | sign-up sheet ]])

JD is completed and team input is in. Checking with Sarah in Recruiting about the next steps.

I sent an email to wikimedia-l, wikimania-l, and wikimedia-africans lists to gather input on a meet-up with chapters, user groups and affiliates.

@JFishback_WMF Gilles can speak to the timelines better. From my perspective, the sooner the better so it doesn't fall in the backlog of things to do. :)

@Lrayshel23 great. thanks. I updated the Description with this info.

@srishakatux Thanks!

@Milimetric @Nuria: Ok. And by when do you need this input?

@Milimetric nice to see that we're here. :) I did one pass over the wikitech page. What kind of input is most helpful for you?

A first draft of the JD shared with the team for their input.

Thanks for the link and the offer. :)

@Aklapper Your latest question made me think that it's perhaps best for me to step back and look at all our team's workflow on Phabricator and then come with my request to you. I /think/ there is some opportunity for us to improve the processes we have on Phabricator and I should do that first before asking for new tags. I will get back to you.

@diego can you prepare the description of this task similar to T189792 ? Once that information is in, it can be picked up by our contractor as soon as they're in.

We will do T189792 instead.

Are these supposed to be subprojects of Research?

@Halfak our thinking may have changed quite a bit since we talked about this last time in 2015. I'll decline the task but mark the etherpad to make sure we reuse what we discussed back then and as relevant in the future.

@Milimetric I know too little about it to be able to respond. I trust your judgement here and happy to help.

Wrote the highlights of last year plus what's ahead. The report is in Jonathan's hand now. I'll keep the task in-progress as my input may still be needed.

Research is not the owner of this task as far as I know and I don't know who it is. In the interest of not leaving the task project-less, I'm declining it. If you know the team that can address it or more info about it, please reopen and move accordingly.

@JBennett and @JFishback_WMF can you please assign this task to someone on your end so we can make sure it has an owner and it will be processed? Also if you can provide a sense of timelines for getting back to us, that'd be great.
