Description: Inspired by the successful ‘sip and chat’ session with trustees at WikiConference India, this is a conversation with Wikimedia Foundation staff and trustees. Questions received in advance from the community are summarized below: Will you expand the types of content we host and support? If so, what formats would you prioritize? How do we make sure that content shared on our projects and Products created for them —not just on English Wikipedia—is as discoverable and useful as possible? This community is diversifying and not everyone is focused on technical workflows. How is the Foundation supporting the interests of emerging GLAM Wiki organizers? What would be a sustainable infrastructure for GLAM Wiki workflows? And is there a role for movement entities and partners to research or develop them? How can the Wikimedia Foundation and communities work more and better together? What can our projects and communities offer to respond to climate, political and financial crises threatening culture and heritage? What do we need in order to put this in place effectively and sustainably? Institutional data will be the cornerstone of verified information in the AI-driven internet, and Wikimedia can leverage that. How can we facilitate this technically, programmatically, and with our communities?		Experience level: No previous knowledge is necessary
