Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council

Congratulations and thanks

I just wanted to kick off the talk page with a thank you message for setting this up, and for the fine set of folks who have volunteered to serve. - Fuzheado (talk) 13:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Any updates?

Now that the WMF Board elections are complete, are there updates for the membership of this committee? I note that there has been no update on the additional affiliate member, which was theoretically going to be announced a while ago. Thank you to all of you who have agreed to take on this task; I think PTAC has a strong chance of being successful with so much knowledge and experience in the room.

Based on the information in the original post, PTAC should have already met once or twice, with an in-person meeting scheduled...any time now? Will minutes or a summary of the meetings be published? I am certain I am not the only person interested in hearing more about the work of the council. Risker (talk) 04:27, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Agree with the above, would love to see some public update. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 19:09, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Risker and @Sjoerddebruin! Thanks for the note of support. I've just updated the membership list.

We have had a couple of onboarding meetings where I shared information that's public about our annual plan and strategic direction. This was an important first step for members to begin discussions with the same information. This weekend is the first in-person gathering, and we'll publish what the group discussed, outcomes and next steps shortly. I'm hoping a short response before end of day, and then a full report on our materials and progress later. SDeckelmann-WMF (talk) 16:26, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, Selena. Will look forward to hearing more. I wish the PTAC a vibrant and productive meeting. Risker (talk) 16:44, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Agree with the above, thanks for the update. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 17:07, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Meeting agenda, participation information for 24 January 2025 Product and Technology Advisory Council meeting?

Please, post the Meeting agenda, relevant supporting documentation, PTAC Member bios and participation information for Community Members for the next Product and Technology Advisory Council meeting on 24 January 2025 in Portland, Oregon.

Thank you in advance, -- Ooligan (talk) 20:44, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Ooligan, thanks for your note. This first in person meeting was for the group to learn more about one another and to just begin to figure out how to function as a group. I left a note above to Risker and Sjoerd de Bruin giving a rough timeline for publishing our work from the last two days (and today!). We'll leave a note on this page when that's ready (soon!).

January meeting of the council

The Product and Technology Advisory Council and it's facilitators just wrapped up an intense 3 day meeting over the last weekend. After our first online meetings to get to know each other and to learn more about Product and Technology, this was a first opportunity to really dig more into what our goals and processes for the council will be and to apply ourselves. We intend to publish output of this meeting in about a week time, but we wanted to share this picture of the group today. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 01:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
