The Product and Technology Advisory Council is a group recently formed to advise on the development of product and technology in the Wikimedia ecosystem. It is composed of community members and some Foundation representatives.

In this session, the PTAC members will present the Council, its work in these first few months, and its recommendations, followed by questions and discussion.

Chat with the Wikimedia Foundation trustees about the pressing issues facing Wikimedia.

As wikimedians, we like conflicts. We have (strong) opinions, and we have (hard) feelings. This will be a space to voice them, on one topic in particular (to be defined before Wikimania).

The session will start with a debate between two opposing voices, followed by a discussion among the attendees, with the aim of allowing different voices to be heard, and understanding each other’s point of view. Agreeing is not expected!
