  Meeting is done. Onwards and upwards! #wikimedia

  And of course this means that women's outreach for Wikimedia will be pushed to chapters and individuals w/limited funds? #wikimedia

  Will chapters set up fellowship programs? Will there be grants made available by Wikimedia? Who knows. #wikimedia

  And I hope all my Wikipedian friends know it's killing me to write these tweets right now. #wikimedia

  Deep community projects like what @steveazhang is doing will be deeply affected, less support for them. #wikimedia

  Unless, I suppose, you apply for a grant. #wikimedia

• 2012-11-01T18:55:54+00:00 To: Public

  Cost of doing this: Fellowship program is done. We won't be doing programs like Teahouse again. #wikimedia

  Implications of narrowing focus: financial wash, 11 staff will be freed 2 move 2 other depts, catalysts projects will suffer #wikimedia

  This is a pretty big deal for us - for staff members, for Wikipedians like me, and those who support the movement - like you #wikimedia

  End game: Wikimedia Foundation is an org w/two purposes: engineering organization & grantmaking organization #wikimedia

• 2012-11-01T18:49:57+00:00 To: Public

  This was not a community decision, no consensus involved. #wikimedia

• 2012-11-01T18:49:46+00:00 To: Public

  So here is the deal: take stuff off the table, have conversations, a retreat w/management, @SuePGardner meditates, & done #wikimedia

  The reason for this is because WMF is spread too thin and many burnt out people. Can't run Wikipedia like that! #wikimedia

  Wikimedia Foundation is narrowing it's focus, learn more as written by @suepgardner here: http://ur1.ca/ar38r #wikimedia

  The FDC has succeeded in allocating the funds it needed to...allocate. That's amazing. And a lot of money (no numbers yet though) #wikimedia

  FDC was meeting, too, who organizes the distribution of funds in the Wikimedia Movement, learn more here: http://ur1.ca/ar37u #wikimedia

  Wikipedia editor Risker is here in the office! #wikimedia

  The video looks great...but didn't quite sound right :) Ok, next update...is by @SuePGardner #wikimedia

• 2012-11-01T18:43:29+00:00 To: Public

  OK..we're having some technical problems :) #wikimedia #fail
