Abstract:
The Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) is a one-year pilot launched by the Wikimedia Foundation in October 2024 to support the Movement Strategy recommendation of "Coordinate Across Stakeholders" by forming a Technology Council. Its goal is to bring together technical contributors, affiliate representatives, and WMF staff and board members to advise on long-term product and technical priorities for the Wikimedia movement. Members of the committee will be around to answer questions about the committee's recent February recommendation, the nature of its work in general and currently ongoing initiatives.
