Please note: these are currently intended for internal WMF staff.
You can join our online Meet room meet.google.com/zpj-gmkx-cau. Our goal is to openly discuss our work, and to answer any of your questions. We would like to invite anyone interested in our projects, current and future work, and in particular Desktop Improvements.
Please plan on attending if:
- You have questions for our team
- You would like to collaborate with us more closely in the future
