Session ideas

 * WikiThree: a project to have GLAM institutions nominate three articles to improve. How might we get the community of editors engaged to help improve articles identified by this effort? -- Fuzheado
 * The plural of volunteers is not always a community. How can we transform a group of enthusiastic volunteers with little knowledge on Wikimedia and the FOSS movement into a true community? -- Andycyca
 * Engagement in large countries. North America is the set of the 2nd, 4th and 13th largest countries in the world (by area). What kind of troubles arise with such distances? How can we address them? -- Andycyca

Thematic meetups
These are planned for either Sunday morning or evenings, after the formal schedule has concluded.


 * Video, multimedia and photospheres - for those who are interested in contributing and learning more about advanced multimedia in Wikimedia -- Fuzheado (talk)
