July 2026 Wikimedia Café meetups regarding Wikimedia governance and options for reform

Hello! There will be two Wikimedia Café discussion opportunities in July. Both sessions will focus on Wikimedia governance, including possible follow-ups to the Movement Charter and options for reform. Participants may attend either or both Café sessions.

This month, to deconflict the Café meetups from Wikimania, the meetups will be held one day later than usual.

1. 26 July 2026 15:00 UTC (timestamp converter), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe
2. 27 July 2026 03:00 UTC (timestamp converter), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific

Please see the Café page for more information, including how to register!
