Wikimedia Conference 2016/Program Design Process/Track: How to move forward
The movement is standing at a crossroad. If we work together, we can find the best path ahead. With your participation and contribution, the Wikimedia Conference can be a platform for exchange and progress. Let us use this opportunity to jointly figure out how we want to move forward as a network of partners. The conference is the ideal platform to discuss and find answers to questions like the following.
We would first like to collect all open questions here and, in a next step, cluster them and create session descriptions including goals, preparation needs and next steps.
