=== May 12, 2010 ===
An open meeting was held on '''Wednesday, May 12'''.  Minutes will be linked from [[Talk:Wikimedia meetings#May 12, 2010|the talk page]]. &ndash;[[User:Sj|SJ]]<small> &middot; [[User Talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f90;">talk</font>]] | [[Meta:Babylon|''translate'']] </small> 01:44, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

: '''When''': Wednesday, May 12, 19:00 UTC ''(12:00 PST | 15:00 EST | 21:00 CEST)'' [~90 minutes.]
: '''Where''': On <code> #wikimedia </code>, on [[IRC|irc]].freenode.net.  ([http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=wikimedia&uio=d4  Web IRC client])


'''Topics of discussion'''
* Commons content
*: Is Commons 'just' a backend for projects, or its own curated library?  Who is its audience?
*: What is the potential harm of hosting controversial images?  Are some images directly harmful to some of our audience? 
*: Do we want all art?  Are invitations for image donations awkward because we may delete some of '[institution]'s pics if we don't find them educational?
* Outreach to new audiences
*: Being welcoming to different audiences, controversial content
*: Possibilities other than curating our collection: (rating, filtering etc)
*: Is [[:outreach:Main_Page|WMF Outreach]] to [[:outreach:Target_audience_secondary_education|secondary schools]] well defined, do we know what schools need?  Are we clear enough in communicating the nature of materials hosted?   
*: Is outreach to children appropriate or prudent given the 'not censored' principle?  What are the benefits and risks?  
* Wikimedia community
*: Self-governance of Projects
: Cross-project policies, interproject relations
