Wikimedia affiliate collaboration on environmental sustainability

There is a draft document aimed at affiliates to sign. Gnom is moving forward with this, in discussion with some chapters. Our user group should support it.

Resources for an event via WMNL

The tech storm has been cancelled as the volunteer organizers couldn't do it this year. Hence WMNL have extra resources (money/staff). Even though there is some resources, taking care of programming and content will likely be volunteer work.

Could it be used for this year's SDG week? Or do we have other ideas?

Next steps towards a hub

Can a hub have their employees be within existing organizations to remove administrative burden and the need to incorporate? Perhaps within a large chapter or even in Wikimedia Foundation. The staff there could have regular employments and be tasked to coordinate a hub.

Idea: plan a workshop day with a moderator, agenda and some goals to create a roadmap that we can start acting on.
