[Wikimedia-l] Join the Conference Fund Committee!

[KevinL User:L235]

Hello everyone:

We hope this message finds you well and that you are in good spirits
reading this 

We are the Conference Fund Committee
and
we are a group of experienced Wikimedians, who are dedicated to ensuring an
equitable and transparent process as part of the Conference and Event Fund
program.  

The program aims to support Groups, individuals, and Wikimedia affiliates
that are looking to bring together Wikimedians and visionary allies, for
Local, regional and thematic Community Conferences.

An important aspect of the Wikimedia Foundation’s funding programs is the
role that volunteer committees have in providing both guidance and support
to applicants as well as making decisions about how movement funds should
be distributed. Based on the movement strategy recommendations, we maintain
committees that enable communities in each region and thematic areas to
have a central role in setting priorities and allocating funds for specific
types of initiatives.

Right now we are looking for 3 new Conference Fund Committee members to be
part of the team! If you are interested or know someone who would be
interested in becoming a Conference Fund committee member, please fill out
this google form survey application

by June 3rd 2024.

Please review the guidelines for engagement on the committee orientation
page

before applying.

Important dates:

   -

   Application deadline - June 3rd, 2024
   -

   Acceptance messages - July 1st 2024
   -

   Onboarding for new members - July 1st - July 22nd 2024
   -

   Conference Committee Fund member work begins - September  2024


If you have any questions or concerns before filling out this application,

[Wikimedia-l] Join the new Movement Strategy Forum community review

[Quim Gil]

Hello everyone,

This is an invitation to all Movement Strategy participants and Wikimedians
in general to try out a new platform for truly multilingual collaboration:

Movement Strategy Forum - https://forum.movement-strategy.org/

We have started a community review

period of two months. If the community feedback is positive, the Forum will
launch in August 2022 before Wikimania. If not, we will follow the feedback
received, changing the proposal or closing it.

We opened the Forum on May 24 with targeted outreach, hoping that the new
site features would work.  A week later, the Wikimedia login has been
used by +200 users, the automatic translation is allowing speakers of
different languages to discuss together, and we are ready to welcome more
reviewers, testers, and other curious minds.

We have just released the first weekly report
. Looking
forward to reading your first impressions in the next one!

[Wikimedia-l] Join us for EduWiki Live, take a deep dive into Wikidata and Curriculum Digitization

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Dear Wikimedians and Friends,


TL;DR: The first EduWiki Live will be on Tuesday, November 30, at 15:00 UTC

Theme: *Wikidata and Curriculum Digitization*

Livestream:

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaEducationTeam

Youtube (link will be shared soon)

I hope this email finds you well. Last month, we introduced you to our
new EduWiki
community support strategy
.
As a part of our new strategy, we are here with the first “EduWiki Live
” event, scheduled
for 30th November at 15:00 UTC.  EduWiki Live is a virtual event that aims
to serve as a bridge between the EduWiki community and the Education
sector. This will help the community to engage in deep dives into
interesting topics about global education from a Wikimedia movement
perspective.

This month, the Education Team is hosting the first EduWiki Live on the
theme of *Wikidata and Curriculum Digitization*. We are aiming to highlight
the work that has been done in this area and how you can be a part of it.
For this event, we will be joined by guest speakers Ivan Savov, a
researcher working in the field of curriculum digitization and data models,
along with Ernest Gavor and Andrews Lartey representing the Ghana Society
for Education Technology (GSET).

Here is the brief agenda for the event:


   - A general update and news on things happening in the EduWiki
   community. An overview of the potential impact of aligning curriculum data
   on Wikidata, and where we are now with the Wikidata for Education
    project
   by Nichole Saad.
   - Take a deep dive into the data models for curriculum standards
    with Ivan Savov:
   learn about the use cases for digital curriculum standards, the work done
   so far, and how this could be useful for the Wikimedia movement.
   - Meet our implementing partners from Ghana, learn what we want to
   accomplish with the Wikidata for Education project, and why it is important
   in the Ghanian context.



Open Q


You can watch the event live on Facebook and Youtube. For you to be able to
ask questions in your native language we encourage you to use the comment
option on Facebook, as it supports automatic translation, If you are
interested in helping translate questions and answers in the comments
please reach out to educat...@wikimedia.org
Best!

[Wikimedia-l] Join the UNLOCK Demo Day and get inspired by new projects for free knowledge

[Kannika Thaimai]

Dear all,

This summer we kicked off the second edition of the Wikimedia Accelerator
UNLOCK [1] with five project teams from across Europe (and one participant
from India) and intensively accompanied them with coaching, mentoring and
tons of input from expert within our movement and beyond that helped them
bring their ideas to life.

In no more than three months they have developed prototypes that offer
concrete and scalable solutions to the free knowledge and this year’s
challenge of (re)building trust in the digital age, ranging from a
crowdsourced directory that will help you find every official governmental
online account around the globe, a tool exposing and educating on
technology supply chains, to an open toolkit for language archivists on how
to create permanent, accessible and inclusive audiovisual archives [2].

You are invited to meet and learn from the teams as they showcase their
prototypes on *October 6th, 2021 at 4:00 - 5:30pm CEST*. Join us online
here: wikimedia.de/unlock

*What to expect on UNLOCK Demo Day?* All eyes on the project teams and the
prototypes! The first part will give you the chance to find out what the
participants have achieved in the last few months as well as the ups and
downs they have faced. There will be room and time for exchange and/or
exploring synergies (i.e. maybe the projects are interesting for your
communities, other ideas can be discussed for further development or
adaption of the projects in your particular context, etc.) We’ll conclude
the showcase with a discussion panel "Glimpse into the Future", in which we
will discuss with the teams their next steps and exchange ideas.

We would be more than happy to see you at the Demo Day. If you still have
open questions regarding the Demo Day, head to our blog post for answers
[3] or feel free to contact me. Also, we would appreciate if you could forward
this email and the attached invite to your network.


Looking forward to your participation!

Kannika

[Wikimedia-l] Join the Conversation with Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on October 20

[Shani Evenstein]

Hello, everyone.

TLDR:

Join the Conversation with the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
on October
20, 2021 at 11:00 UTC (check for your local time
).

During the meeting, you will:

* Meet the incoming CEO, Maryana Iskander.

* Meet the candidates nominated through the latest Community-Selection
process to the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees

* Learn about Board Committees’ work

* Engage through a Question & Answers session (partly pre-sent, and partly
live).

Now in more details:

What are we announcing?

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees’ Community Affairs Committee

(CAC) is  hosting its second Conversation with the Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees (formerly called an Office Hour), which is an open forum
for the community to directly engage with Trustees.

Come and meet the Board of Trustees, including the candidates nominated for
the Board through the latest Community-Selection process, and the incoming
CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation; learn about what the Board of Trustees has
been up to lately; and engage through the Question & Answers section!

When & Where?

The meeting will be held on October 20, 2021 at 11:00 UTC (check for your
local time )!

We promised at the last meeting to alternate the timings for these in order
to accommodate a wider range of time zones to be able to join in.

At least 3 Trustees and relevant Wikimedia Foundation staff will be in
attendance.

The session will be streamed live and recorded, so those who cannot
participate live will be able to watch later.

Those who cannot attend are welcome to send questions in advance to the
session (details below).

How will it work?

The meeting will last for 90 minutes.

The first 40  minutes will include a short introduction to the session, and an
update on what the Board has been working on lately.
It will be followed by 50 minutes of Questions & Answers: around 20-30
minutes of answering questions sent in advance, and an additional 20-30
minutes of live questions.

We will be monitoring YouTube, the Wikimedia General Chat Telegram group
 and the Meta talk page for live questions.

We would like to encourage everyone, especially those who cannot
participate at the designated time, to send questions for the Board in
advance of the meeting. The structure is meant to enable the CAC to not
only update the community on current matters the Board is working on, but
also hear directly from the community. This will both  increase the
transparency around the Board’s work and will help inform the CAC’s future
work.

Setting the agenda with your Questions

In order to be as efficient as possible, and since we anticipate that some
questions will require answers from Wikimedia Foundation Staff, we are
encouraging
community members to send questions in advance. Please send all questions
to ask...@wikimedia.org, by Wednesday, October 13 (midnight, whatever time
zone you may be in).

The Q & A section in the meeting agenda will be based on the main topics
related to the questions received. We will share more exact topics on Meta

3 days before the meeting, including final names of Trustees in attendance.

Please note --

* Participants will still be able to ask questions live if that is
preferred.

* If you miss the deadline for sending questions (October 13th), you can
still send questions, if they are not addressed during the meeting, we will
follow up in writing after the meeting.



Registering to attend the meeting

For security reasons and specifically to avoid Zoombombing
, we will be sending the Zoom
link only to people who have registered in advance close to the meeting. In
order to register, please send an email to ask...@wikimedia.org. The title
should be: “Registration for the October 20 Conversation with Trustees”,
and it should indicate your name, username, affiliation if you have any,
and whether you will require live translation.

Requests for live translation must be sent at least a week before the
session, October 13th. As live translation is costly, there is a minimum of
5 people registering and requesting translation to a specific language that
is required to request for a live translation. If you miss the deadline of
requesting translation, or if there is no minimum of 5 people requesting
translation, you will still be able to see the main points after the
meeting, which will be translated to Arabic, Spanish, French, Russian,
Chinese, German and English.

Please note --

   -

   The session will be moderated based on the Universal Code of Conduct

Outreach Collaborators or EWOC are a dynamic group of Wikimedians who
collaborate with the education team at the Wikimedia Foundation to provide
support, effective collaboration, and learning opportunities for the
education community in the Wikimedia movement.

In 2020, we started this pilot initiative to work with community leaders of
our movement to support volunteers in the movement with better networking,
communication practices for growth, and to work together to spread the
awareness on the value of Wikimedia in education. As a result of which we
had the opportunity to work with 14 Wikimedia community members from
various parts of the world. These volunteers helped in publishing 12
Education newsletters issues, shared many community stories from their
regions, and helped in hosting 3 regional education meetings with 54
participants from 20 countries.

This year we are planning to expand the program and we are planning to work
with 20 volunteers in 8 different roles. To have more information regarding
this program, please visit our Meta page.

The strategic goals are designed by the 2020-2021 cohort of volunteers.



We encourage volunteers from all regions and genders to be a part of this
project! We expect the group of EWOC to represent the diversity of our
movement and the call for participation will be open until we achieve this
goal. Respecting the privacy of the members, personal information provided
will not be shared with an external audience. To apply for this
opportunity, please complete this form.

To encourage participation and to recognise the works of the collaborators,
we have decided on certain rewards for completing different milestones.

[Wikimedia-l] Join us on July 29th! Information session: Training of Trainers for "Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom"

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Dear Wikimedians,

Last year, the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation launched a pilot
teacher training program that helped teachers use Wikipedia in their
classrooms. Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom

provided a professional development opportunity to over 500 teachers in
Bolivia, Morocco, and the Philippines with a localized curriculum and
resources aligned with UNESCO’s Media and Information Literacy framework.
Throughout this 9-week program, teachers developed vital media and
information literacy skills for the 21st century, including understanding
how information is produced, accessing and evaluating content online, and
identifying biases and knowledge gaps. All through the power of Wikipedia
!
You can read more details about the pilot program and its impact in our
final report

[1].

Now, we are opening up the opportunity to more Wikimedians, mission-aligned
organizations, and individuals to participate in a Training of Trainers
(ToT). By the end of the ToT, participants will be certified to lead
training for Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom. They will be able to adapt
& implement the Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom program in their local
contexts to help teachers use Wikipedia as a pedagogical tool. Participants
who successfully complete the ToT will also have access to a pool of
funding that can support their local activities. You can learn more about
the ToT timeline and curriculum on Meta

.

We think you or members of your community would be a great fit! We invite
you to attend an information session on Thursday, July 29 at 13:00 UTC via
Zoom . The team will share more
detailed information, answer questions, and announce the open call for
applications. If you have any questions ahead of this event, please don’t
hesitate to reach out to the team at educat...@wikimedia.org

We look forward to seeing you at the information session!

--the Education Team

[1]The program report

shows us how teachers’ attitudes towards Wikipedia changed as they moved
through the curriculum, responded to practical assignments and reflection
questions, and participated in synchronous sessions led by local
coordinators of the program. For example, one of the participating teachers
from Bolivia said that at first he “thought that Wikipedia was a platform
like Google, but now I value all the volunteer work done by the community
behind it”. The program model also supported members of the local Wikimedia
affiliates to improve their capacity to organize and lead education
initiatives. Currently, the Wikimedians of Bolivia
 user group is
launching the second edition of the program! The resources

created for the program are available on Wikimedia Commons in English,
Spanish, Arabic, and Tagalog, and they are free for anybody to use, adapt
and share.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

[Yaroslav Blanter]

Hi Ciell,

thanks a lot.

I am using this for the new districts (raions)

https://www.minregion.gov.ua/press/news/novi-rajony-karty-sklad/

and this for hromadas (sub-district divisions)

https://gromada.info/ru/region/%D0%94%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F-%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C/%D0%9C%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BE%D0%BD/

(this is just an example, one would need to use dropdown menu to go to
other items).

but unfortunately none of these is in English, and I am not aware of the
English sources. Currently, on the English Wikipedia I have done Chernihiv,
Cherkasi, Chernovtsi, and Ternopil Oblasts (4 out of 24), everything
related to them should be up to date (I might have made typos, which is
inevitable with this number of edits, but I hope I did not introduce
serious errors). Currently I am doing Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. All pages on
raions should be up to date, there is still some work to do, but at least
they do not contain wrong information.

I will be happy to answer any questions. It is probably easier onwiki, my
username is Ymblanter.

Best regards
Yaroslav

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

[Ciell Wikipedia]

Hi Yaroslav,

Is there a (online) source for the new administrative divisions we can base
our edits on?
I'm sure several people across different languages on this list would like
to help out with the updates.

Vriendelijke groet,
Ciell

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

[Anton Protsiuk]

Thanks for your work, Yaroslav!

Although this challenge is obviously not focused on the specific problem
you mentioned, we do pay attention to improving articles in general. For
example, as noted in the announcement, we have prepared the list of most
important stubs for each CEE language edition:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2021/Structure/Ukraine/Stubs

The contest in general is also not focused only on creating new articles,
though specifics might depend on each language edition. For example, in the
Ukrainian-language edition of the contest, which ran throughout April, we
were trying to incentivize improvement of existing articles in various
ways; we'll try to share lessons learned with the international community
once the results are ready.

Best Regards
Anton Protsiuk

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

[Yaroslav Blanter]

Not to undermine an importance of creation of new articles, but to note
that after the reform of the administrative divisions of Ukraine in July
2020 dozens, if not hundreds of thousands of articles across many projects
now contain wrong information (well, not up-to-date information). In the
English Wikipedia, I was correcting it pretty much single-handedly since
the last year, and I will probably finish correcting it by the end of this
year (though occasionally I see people reverting me saying "information is
redundant" or smth similar). I see that on all other projects, including
Ukrainian and Russian Wikipedias which I would normally expect to take the
lead, the articles about Ukrainian localities still contain this outdated
information. I do not really expect to be acknowledged for this (looks like
almost nobody cares), but a bit of attention to already existing articles
would probably not harm.

[Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

[Anton Protsiuk]

Hi everyone!

By the end of May, we at Wikimedia Ukraine invite everyone to join CEE
Spring (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2021) to help
discover Ukraine to the world.

The contest is devoted to improving Wikipedia content about Central and
Eastern Europe across multiple languages; the Central & Eastern European
community of Wikimedians has organized it every year since 2015.

Of course, you can write about many different CEE countries and regions
within the contest, but we at Wikimedia Ukraine are planning to send
special souvenirs for most active contributors to articles about Ukraine
specifically ;)

For the first time, we prepared the top-10 most important articles about
Ukraine that are missing (red links) for each CEE Wikipedia (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=11313069) and the top-10 important
articles that are too short for each CEE Wikipedia (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=11313068).

And we also have the general top-100 list with important topics missing in
many Wikipedias: https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10583331

You can read the full announcement (and share it to help us spread the
world) here:

The Africa Wiki Challenge (AWC) is a writing contest organised by Open
Foundation West Africa to create African content (content about Africa)
along selected topics annually, of which this year focuses on “Landmarks in
Africa''.[1]

Even though the campaign mainly focuses on writing articles, it hopes to
encourage participants to upload photos and use them on their articles to
provide a holistic experience for readers of those articles.[2] It also has
a destubathon component to encourage improvement of existing articles
around the theme.[3]

Everyone with the passion for Africa is welcome to participate in this
campaign, feel free to visit the AWC meta page for more information.[4]

Cheers,

Ruby D-Brown

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join the Africa Wiki Challenge Campaign!

[Ziko van Dijk]

Hello Ruby,

Allow myself to use the occasion to emphasize how important the campaigns
for WikiAfrica/Africa Wiki are in order to provide pictures to the wikis
and to the world.

It is still difficult to find good pictures on Wikimedia Commons that
illustrate life in many African countries. I am grateful for the pictures
tourists upload, and sometimes the pictures from national or foreign
governments are quite usable. But there is something missing.

For our children‘s encyclopedia in German, Klexikon, it was a challenge to
find pictures with some diversity when we wrote the articles about non
European and non North American countries. And it still is, or: maybe there
are more suitable pictures on Commons but we don‘t always find them because
Commons as a platform itself... could be improved in a number of ways.

But in recent years, we have seen pictures made within campaigns such as
Wiki loves women or the thematic challenges about work or transport in
Africa. Step by step, our Klexikon articles can be essentially improved;
although, there is still a certain bias towards pittoresque churches, nice
beaches and other more „tourism related objects“.

Also, we have recently added a number of videos made by WikiTongues,
another great initiative.

https://klexikon.zum.de/wiki/Algerien
https://klexikon.zum.de/wiki/Äquatorialguinea
https://klexikon.zum.de/wiki/Liberia
https://klexikon.zum.de/wiki/Mosambik

By the way, when I am looking for good pictures on Wikipedia (German,
English, Dutch), I see that a lot of Wikipedia articles could need an
update too - with regard to the pictures that have been made in the, say,
last 10 years or even only 5 years.

(I noticed that Commons received a lot of good pictures about e.g. Barbados
and Angola within the last 5 years only.)

So I am looking forward to the new pictures from this campaign, and to see
how they will be used for display on the wikis.

Kind regards
Ziko

[Wikimedia-l] Join the Africa Wiki Challenge Campaign!

[Ruby D-Brown]

Dear Wikimedians,

We are happy to announce the maiden edition of the Africa Wiki Challenge, a
writing contest that calls on all Africans, people of African descent,
people that identify with the continent or any one with an interest in
Africa to contribute content about the many things that make up the true
and rich identity of the continent (its rich and colourful cultures,
history, landmarks, education, cities, rivers, lakes, food, vegetation,
etc.) from 23rd May to 30th June 2021.[1] The campaign seeks to project
stories of Africa, project its identity and help reduce the content gap
about the continent on the web.[2]

Each year, we will select a theme to guide users on what to contribute to
as part of the campaign. This year,  we have selected the theme “Landmarks
in Africa”.[3] The aim is to document all landmarks that cover historical,
cultural, geographical and places of key significance to a country or the
continent. These include but not limited to;

   -

   Monuments - Statues, Memorials, Historic buildings, Archaeological sites
   -

   National Demarcations - Districts, Municipalities, Metropolitan,
   Regions, States, etc.
   -

   Geographical Endowments - Mountains, Valleys, Forests, Waterfalls,
   Wildlife, Beach, etc.
   -

   Infrastructural Developments - Roads, Hospitals, Churches, Mosques,
   Schools, Rails, Water parks, Hotels, Theme parks, etc.

Individuals or affiliates are welcome to  participate or support the
project. You can participate in the competition by writing new articles or
improving existing articles in the destubathon contest.[4] Visit our
participate page for more information about how to join the competition.[5]
Do you want to organise an activity in your group/country/region? Check out
our organizers page or organizers guide for more information.[6][7]

There will be virtual office hours prior to the start and during the
campaign.[8] These office hours are opportunities to learn more about the
campaign, ask questions, or receive support.

Kindly send questions, suggestions, comments or concerns to
i...@ofwafrica.org or visit the campaign page on meta or on our website.[9]

[Wikimedia-l] Join us for 1Lib1Ref this May!!

[Felix Nartey]

Hello Librarians and library lovers,

(Sorry for cross posting)

>From May 15th to June 5th 2021, we will be joining together once again to
continue providing reliable and factual information to the world through
Wikipedia and the #1lib1ref campaign. To participate is easy, simply add a
citation to Wikipedia!![1]



*May Experiments *

This May  we are focused on:

   -

growing the campaign in East and South East Asia with local affiliates
   -- if you want to help contact Venus Lui via (vlui-...@wikimedia.org) or
   me.
   -

   working closely with AfLIA to sustain our relationship with the
   Librarians network in Africa. Last year the participation from African
   Librarians was overwhelming, recording about 84% of the total numbers of
   edits attained (33,257). This surged our campaign to a staggering increase
   of 394%YoY for the May campaign.[2]
   -

   Supporting our long standing partner for the campaign, IFLA as they
   explore citations on Wikidata [3][4]

How can you engage?

We invite you to engage in three ways:

   -

   Make an edit - Participate globally and virtually by adding citations to
   Wikipedia.[5]
   -

   Organise - Lead a community activity or event in your library, country
   or region.[6]
   -

   Amplify -  Share and just keep sharing the campaign within your networks
   and help us reach out to library and research communities around the
   world.[7]



Join local events or editathons

If you are organising an activity virtually or providing a space to teach
or train people with an interest in the campaign, please add your event(s)
here.[8] In light of the pandemic, we strongly encourage virtual activities
and advise everyone to follow the WHO health guidelines.[9] If restrictions
have been lifted in your country and are considering organising in-person
events, kindly follow the Wikimedia COVID risk assessment for events.[10]

Ensure all your contributions are recorded by using the #1Lib1Ref hashtag
in your edit summary! Add your activity to the campaign dashboard to help
us track the activities happening across the globe.[11] This is very
important for us to monitor the reach and success of the initiative.

Learn more in our office hour

Join the next campaigns office hour on Thursday 13th May at 3:00pm UTC,
where we will share about strategies in Asia and Africa, under the
theme “exploring
regional or thematic approaches to campaigns in tackling topics of interest
”.[12]

Please tell your library, researcher and knowledge-loving friends about
#1Lib1Ref in May. We need everyone's help to make Wikipedia more reliable!



You can join the 1Lib1Ref community via the Libraries (
librar...@lists.wikimedia.org), and 1Lib1Ref (1lib1...@lists.wikimedia.org)
mailing lists, or by joining the Wikimedia + Libraries User Group.[13]

Cheers,

Felix Nartey

[Wikimedia-l] Join us for the South Asia regional education meeting

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Dear Wikimedians,

I am writing this email to invite you all to the third regional education
meeting[1]. This month we are meeting with our community members based in
the South Asia region[2]. You can use these regional office hours as an
opportunity to learn and share your projects, tools, or ideas with the
education community from the region.

These regional education meetings are planned by the community specialists
of the EduWiki Outreach Collaborators (EWOC)[3] and the Education team. We
are using this as an opportunity to strengthen the EduWiki network, explore
collaboration opportunities, and identify common practices or challenges
that are faced by our community members in different regions of the world.
We are launching these regional office hours as a pilot initiative to
complement our general monthly office hours[4], we encourage you to
participate, share your ideas, and help this become a fully community-led
initiative.

Our first South Asia regional education meeting will take place on *30th
April 2021 at **9:30 UTC*, (3:00 PM IST, Colombo Time, 3:30 PM Dhaka Time,
3:15 PM Kathmandu Time), it will be led by Md. Galib, a member of Wikimedia
Bangladesh, and EWOC community specialist for the region. *If you want to
volunteer to interpret this meeting for your community members in a local
language, please reach out to me.*

At this South Asia regional education meeting, we will hear from:

   -

   Challenges with education in Covid 19: Is there any way to overcome?,
   Prof. Mostafa Azad, Country representative of CC Bangladesh, Dean, School
   of Business, Bangladesh Open University
   -

   Education initiatives by Punjabi Wikimedians UG, Dr. Manavpreet Kaur
   -

   State of Education projects by Karavali Wikimedians UG, Dr. U. B.
   Pavanaja



If you have other ideas, topics, or questions you want to ask, you can add
them to the agenda here[5]. We will try to answer them during the meeting.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Best!

Md. Galib, EWOC community specialist team, Sailesh, and Education team

[João Alexandre Peschanski]

Hi. Thank you for the answer, Sailesh! I am happy to see investment in
language diversity in interactions with the WMF.

For future meetings with a focus on Latin America, you might want to know
that we ran a survey across the Brazilian affiliate membership --a group of
people that would potentially be interested in this activity--, and members
have stated that when Portuguese is not an option they prefer communication
to happen in English, not in Spanish.

Good luck with the activity,

João

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join us for the Latin America regional education meeting

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Hey Joao,

This meeting will be held in Spanish and led by José Reyes from Wikimedia
México. We won't be able to provide simultaneous translation for this
meeting but we are exploring the possibility for future iterations. I'm
looking particularly at the translation channel option over Zoom and it
would be great if somebody from the community could help us with the
translation if interested since this is a community-led event.

This is the first time we're trying this approach to the original education
office hours that were solely in English and each time we'll continue
making efforts to include more languages. Thank you for reaching out about
this!

Thanks
Sailesh

[João Alexandre Peschanski]

Hello Sailesh. I hope this message finds you well.

This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Could you please specify the language in which this meeting will take place
and if simultaneous translation will be made available? I am mostly
interested in knowing if translation to Portuguese will be available, as
the topic could spark some interest in the Brazilian community.

Thank you,

João

[Wikimedia-l] Join us for the first CEE regional education meeting

[Sailesh Patnaik]

Dear Wikimedians,

Hope your February is going well.

I am writing this email to invite you all to the very first regional
education meeting[1]. This month we are starting with our community members
based in the CEE region[2]. You can use these regional meetings as an
opportunity to learn and share your projects, tools, or ideas with the
education community from the CEE region.

These regional education meetings are planned by the community specialists
of the EduWiki Outreach Collaborators (EWOC)[3] and the Education team. We
are using this as an opportunity to strengthen the EduWiki network, explore
collaboration opportunities, and identify common practices or challenges
that are faced by our community members in different regions of the world.
We are launching these regional education meetings as a pilot initiative to
complement our general monthly office hours[4], we encourage you to
participate, share your ideas, and help this become a fully community-led
initiative.

Our first CEE education meeting will take place on 18th February 2021 at
13:00 UTC , it will be led by
Nebojša Ratkovic, Education Program Manager of Wikimedia Serbia[5] and EWOC
community specialist for the region. At this CEE meeting, Nebojša will
share some highlights from the 15 years of education work by Wikimedia
Serbia and have a questions-and-answers round. If you have other ideas,
topics, or questions you want to ask, you can add them to the agenda
here[6]. We will try to answer them during the meeting. We are looking
forward to seeing you there!

As a reminder, our general monthly office hours are still available for you
to join, share your work, connect with other community members, and get
help or advice from the Education team. The next general office hour is
scheduled for 24th February 2021 at 14:00 UTC, you can find the topics of
the meetings here[7]. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach
out to me.

Best!

Yes, sorry I forgot to link it! The page is at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinobel , it is not super-informative at
the moment, but it's there.
I also just now noticed a parsing problem in my initial e-mail (some spaces
missing). The link for the Google Meet is https://wikitreff.wikimedia.no/

(Replying with my volunteer account because my work account has digest mode
on, which messes up the list archives.)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join us at the Wikimedia Summit in Berlin on 3-5 April 2020

[Pine W]

Hello Abraham and Katherine,

Thank you for the announcement. I hope that people find the conference to
be enjoyable and productive.

The community has a highly distributed and non-pyramidal structure, and
having "all the right people at the table to design the implementation" is
unlikely. I caution against setting expectations for the conference that
are too high.

I hope that the conference is successful.

[Wikimedia-l] Join us at the Wikimedia Summit in Berlin on 3-5 April 2020

[Abraham Taherivand]

Dear Wikimedia Affiliates,

It’s with great pleasure that we invite movement Affiliates to join us at
the Wikimedia Summit 2020, which will be held at Seminaris Conference
Center in Berlin from 3-5 April.[1]

With the Wikimedia Summit 2019, we refocused the event entirely on Movement
Strategy and Wikimedia’s path towards 2030. Building upon this concept,
next year’s Summit will again be designed around the needs and
opportunities of “Wikimedia 2030”.[2]

In spring 2020, the recommendations for change will be finalized and we
will have clarity on how to adapt to move strongly and successfully in the
movement’s Strategic Direction. The Wikimedia Summit 2020 will be an
important transition away from strategy development and into the long
awaited implementation of the recommended changes. The event will first aim
to create clarity and shared understanding of the recommendations, and then
initiate the implementation across movement organizations in a
collaborative way. The main part of that conversation is to discuss
prioritization and sequencing of the recommendations, and agree upon
responsibilities in bringing each recommendation to life – globally,
regionally, and on the local level. This will have to be a deeply
collaborative process, engaging all parts of the movement together.

We invite all eligible Wikimedia affiliates to be part of this
conversation. To ensure that we use the in-person time as best as possible,
we ask Affiliates to only send delegates who will come with a good
understanding of the movement strategy process and the draft
recommendations, and are ready to take agency and responsibility to design
and implement the recommendations in collaboration with every part of the
Movement and our partners. We will ensure these criteria are met by asking
targeted questions in the registration form.

As the recommendations affect every part of the movement, from WMF to
affiliates and beyond, we will need all the right people at the table to
design the implementation. A number of Board and staff members of the
Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland will take part at the event,
and we are also looking forward to invite of some members of the final
writing group and of the Affiliations Committee to join us in Berlin.

The registration to the event will open tomorrow, so watch out for the
email with all logistical information around the event including contact
details.

On behalf of our organizations, we are looking forward to welcoming you in
Berlin in April!

Best regards,

Abraham Taherivand, Wikimedia Deutschland

[Wikimedia-l] Join the Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-Thon

[Sam Oyeyele]

Greetings!

Apologies for cross-posting. After a successful first iteration of the “Months 
of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be 
happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the 
contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. 
There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought 
the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000. 
About 9 in-person events were also organised for the edit-a-thon in different 
parts of the world.

The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called "The AfroCine 
Project",[1] which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history, 
works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema, theatre 
and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.

If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username as a 
participant on the English Wikipedia contest page.[2] If you would love to lead 
this contest for your country or community, please list your name in the 
coordinators page here.[3] The rapid grants team would be accepting proposals 
throughout October and November, in case you'd need funds to run local 
edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this event. Upon listing your 
name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted to talk about the resources 
you'd need to run the event in your community. You can also contact me directly 
for any clarifications.

Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine 
project. These aspects include:

1. Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging with 
local communities to support their activities within the scope of Afrocine.

2. Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the project. 
Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media would be the 
responsibility of this person.

3. MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African Cinema 
contest. We need as many people as we can get :).

4. Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track the 
metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are calling for 
Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can be useful for 
the project.

If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles that 
have not been mentioned, please contact me directly.

If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out 
to me personally or right here on the mailing list or the project talkpages.

Thank you!

Sam Oyeyele.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join us tomorrow for the FINAL Wikimedia Monthly Activities Meeting

[Pine W]

Thanks for the links, Leila.

I am generally happy with what I have seen of the Talk Pages project. I am
familiar with the current talk page system being difficult to explain to
new users. I was dreading the possibility of WMF operating with a wrecking
ball to get the changes that it wants, but thankfully the early indications
are that this project is being handled carefully.

I am remain unconvinced that Space is a good use of WMF resources, with the
exception that Space provides a WMF-hosted option for private group
discussions that WMF is willing to accept under its current policies for
Space. People who currently use non-WMF platforms for private group
discussions might decide that they would prefer to have some of those
discussions on Space. Notably, MediaWiki doesn't provide robust support for
private group discussions on a wiki that is public by default.

Have a good weekend,

Pine

I'm not sure if you've already watched the Metrics Meeting today. If
you have not, you may find these helpful:

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join us tomorrow for the FINAL Wikimedia Monthly Activities Meeting

[Pine W]

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

Over the years there has been a flourishing of subject-specific public
meetings, which have been good for covering topics in greater depth than is
possible when a much larger number of topics are packed into the same one
hour time window. However, my guess is that this has contributed to the
decline of interest in presenting at the Monthly Activities Meetings.

Bluerasberry and I are planning to resume the Wikimedia Café online
meetings. These are more casual and smaller in scale than the Activities
Meetings. For those who liked the Activities Meetings for wide-ranging
discussions, I encourage you to visit the Café sometime.

From what I have seen, I think that Wikimedia Space may be good for some
use cases, but it's not a substitute for Meta and for many existing public
communications channels. One use case for Space that does make sense to me
is that people might want to use it for private group communications.
However, the platform is under WMF's control, community governance appears
to be nearly nonexistent, public interest appears to be low at this time,
and I think that Space fragments discussions onto yet another platform. I
encourage WMF to be thoughtful about how much money, staff time, and
marketing efforts are spent on Space that might be better spent elsewhere,
and I discourage WMF from further fragmenting public discussions.

[Wikimedia-l] Join us tomorrow for the FINAL Wikimedia Monthly Activities Meeting

[Gregory Varnum]

Hello,

You are invited to our the Wikimedia monthly activities meeting, taking
place tomorrow (August 29) starting at 18:00 UTC (11:00 Pacific Daylight
Time). Please note this will be the last Wikimedia monthly activities
meeting planned by the Wikimedia Foundation Communications department.
After speaking with our colleagues and reviewing engagement metrics from
the past few years, we concluded that there are other efforts in place that
are better suited to achieve the goals of this meeting.

You can join tomorrow’s final meeting via YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhoJb6rwkfc

And also in IRC: #wikimedia-office

The agenda will include:
- Wikimedia movement strategy update
- Wikipedia’s role in Teenagers lives
- Wikimedia Space

More information on Meta-Wiki:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_monthly_activities_meetings

When this meeting first began, it provided insights into data that was
otherwise unavailable or hard to access. Thanks to the amazing efforts of
staff and volunteers, those metrics are now available and updated regularly
online. The purpose of the meeting thus shifted to focus on sharing
progress updates and information from across the movement. We have realized
however that this approach limits our ability to connect across languages
and provide the level of detail necessary to create impact.  In addition,
interest in the meeting has remained steady, but is has not grown, and
there has been a decrease of interest in presenting.

Fortunately, we have new methods of outreach that allow us to connect with
wider audiences.. The new Wikimedia Foundation website, discussed at last
month's meeting, has a greater ability to communicate across languages and
is already helping us reach more people.[1] We are discussing ways to
further expand this support. The new Wikimedia Space project that will be
discussed at this month's meeting provides a central, real-time space to
have discussions and share information on activities across the movement.[2]

We appreciate all of the feedback people have provided over the years, and
will continue to reflect on any additional input you may have. I also want
to personally thank the dozens of people that presented over the years and
the evolving core team that worked every month to put the meeting on. They
often made it look easy, and I know that is not always the case.

Thank you, and I will have more on this topic during tomorrow's meeting.

[Wikimedia-l] Join the conversations about Wikimedia 2030

[Kelsi Stine-Rowe]

Dear fellow Wikimedians,

In the coming weeks, we will host community conversations[1] around the
Movement Strategy Process[2]. To follow up on Nicole’s earlier email[3], we
invite you to join in to gain a deeper look at the work done by the nine
working groups and to bring the perspective of your community or group to
the discussion.

After months of work and diverse discussions, the nine working groups of
the Movement Strategy Process have each published a scoping document for
their thematic area. These documents outline a set of key questions about
how our Movement needs to change going forward.

Now, the Movement Strategy Process will shift gears and focus on bringing
in input from communities and organized groups that will help answer these
questions. To get the ball rolling, we are hosting community conversations
across eight languages and in various formats and stages from now until the
end of May, when we will begin formulating our draft recommendations. The
scoping documents will soon also be published in several additional
languages so that volunteers from these language communities can review and
discuss under their own initiative. We invite you to take part and offer
insight and context from your community at this stage of broad inquiry.

There are a number of ways you can get involved:


   -

   Join global conversations online: Share your thoughts directly on wiki.
   The scoping documents are available on the Meta page[4] and several
   language wikis. Details on how you can take part will be published on your
   community’s preferred channels.
   -

   Initiate community discussions: Reach out to your communities on their
   frequently used channels (village pump, social media, messenger apps) to
   discuss the scoping documents’ relevance and impact. You can then feed the
   key items back to the language wikis or Meta.
   -

   Take part in our forthcoming survey: 3 community-specific questions per
   Working Group/thematic area will be distributed in survey format. You can
   have your say by entering your answers directly into the form, which will
   be shared publicly in mid-April.


We‘d be delighted for you to take part. This is an opportunity for each
member of our community to help shape the bold ideas for how our Movement
could look in 2030. The more voices that join in, the better!

We look forward to chatting with you.

Best wishes,

Kelsi Stine-Rowe

[Wikimedia-l] Join the third World Mime Day edit-a-thon

[Ivana Guslarević]

*Hello everyone!I’m writing you on behalf of Wikimedia Serbia, regarding
organization of the third World Mime Day edit-a-thon.For the last two years
Wikimedia Serbia collaborated with World Mime Organization
, whose president is Marko Stojanovic
,
famous actor in Serbia, mime artist and acting professor. Along with this
organization we successfully realized these events (2016
,
2017
),
and this year the edit-a-thon will be part of the First Mime World
Conference .The
edit-a-thon aims to have international character. Previously, Wikimedians
and Wikipedians from Macedonia and Armenia joined us in celebrating this
day by writing about notable mime artist, theaters and mime plays.The
support for this event came from the United Nations as well: Ms. Irena
Vojackova-Sollorano, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident
Representative for the Republic of Serbia, visited the edit-a-thon
 and praised the volunteers mission.This
year we are planning to do the same and we are inviting everyone who is
interested in this topic and who thinks that GLAM cooperation could be
achieved. World Mime Organization has a network of mime artists and
theaters worldwide, so you can use Marko as a contact to reach local
theaters and artist.The Meta page
 is
created, and you can sign in and join the project. There is also an event
page on Serbian Wikipedia
.If
you need any additional information, please contact me. Looking forward to
collaborate globally on this topic.Best regards,Ivana GuslarevicWikimedia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join the WikidataCon, 28-29 October in Berlin

[Rogol Domedonfors]

Gerard

It's a Wikimedia event, because it is "organized for and by the Wikidata
community".  It is a technical event, because it you are welcome if you
"build scripts, gadgets or external tools" among other criteria.  So it is
a Wikimedia technical event, which is the qualifying critrion for the Code
of Conduct: "It applies both within physical spaces, such as Wikimedia
technical events and Wikimedia technical presentations in other events
[...]"

As to the difference it makes: the Code of Conduct describes expected ways
of behaviour and lays down procedures for how to deal with breaches, which
the organisers and others are required to adhere to.

I assume this conference will be considered a "Wikimedia technical event"
and as such it will fall under the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct) and its Committee?

[Wikimedia-l] Join the WikidataCon, 28-29 October in Berlin

[Shani Evenstein]

Dear all,

I'm forwarding this email from
​
Léa Lacroix to the list about the WikidataCon.

Best,
Shani.

Hello everybody,

Here's a general update about the WikidataCon, that will take place in
Berlin on October 28th and 29th :)

General information
The WikidataCon 
is a conference organized for and by the Wikidata community, and supported
by Wikimedia Deutschland.
If you edit Wikidata, make queries with SPARQL, build scripts, gadgets or
external tools, reuse data from Wikidata with your software or your
service, if you belong to an organization who wants to use or donate data,
if you're working on open data, datajournalism, datavizualisation, open
knowledge, civictech... *you're welcome to the WikidataCon*!

It will take place on October 28th-29th (+ social event on Friday 27th), in
the Tagesspiegel venue, in Berlin. Due to our international community, the
even will take place in English only. However, language/local meetups can
be added to the program.

We are expecting 150 persons from all around the world, to celebrate
Wikidata's 5th birthday and *share knowledge and experience whithin the
community*.


Program
With two days of talks, workshops, demos, meetups, and social events, the
diverse and awesome people that belong to the Wikidata community will be
able to share their experiences, their favorite tools, learn from the
others, discover new ways to create, enrich, reuse data from the free
knowledge base.

The program is currently being build via a *call for projects
, running
until July 31st.* Feel free to support your favorite topics or propose a
project. A social event on the Friday evening and a birthday celebration
will also take place to bring the community together.


Attend
*Registration is now open
,
until October 1st. *Registration is mandatory for everyone, including
speakers, WMF and WMDE employees, volunteers...

Important thing you need to know: the ticket is free of charge, and
includes the access to the conference, meals, drinks and goodies, but *does
not include travel and accommodation*. The attendees have to book these by
themselves.
If you plan to come, don't wait... Berlin is a touristic area :)


Scholarships
Some scholarships will be provided to help attendees to fund their travel
and accommodation for the conference. *The application is running until
July 16th
. *

Due to the few number of scholarships we can provide, we encourage people
to ask for support from their local chapter or user group.


How can you help?
- share this information with people, mailing-lists, wikis, who could be
interested
- if you are involved in a local chapter: ask your board if they can
provide some support for the volunteers of you country who would like to
join.
- if you want to *volunteer during the event*, you're more than welcome!
You can find more information here
.
- if you see any missing information or mistake, or you have any question,
feel free to contact me.


You can follow our updates on the wiki page
, the facebook
event  or the Twitter
account .
Thanks a lot for your attention, I hope I'll meet some of you during the
WikidataCon!

[Wikimedia-l] Join my Reddit AMA about Wikipedia and ethical, transparent AI

[Aaron Halfaker]

Hey everybody,

TL;DR: I wanted to let you know about an upcoming experimental Reddit AMA
("ask me anything") chat we have planned. It will focus on artificial
intelligence on Wikipedia and how we're working to counteract vandalism
while also making life better for newcomers.

We plan to hold this chat on June 1st at 21:00 UTC/14:00 PST in the /r/iAMA
subreddit[1]. I'd love to answer any questions you have about these topics
questions, and I'll send a follow-up email to this thread shortly before
the AMA begins.



For those who don't know who I am, I create artificial intelligences[2]
that support the volunteers who edit Wikipedia[3]. I've been fascinated by
the ways that crowds of volunteers build massive, high quality information
resources like Wikipedia for over ten years.

For more background, I research and then design technologies that make it
easier to spot vandalism in Wikipedia—which helps support the hundreds of
thousands of editors who make productive contributions. I also think a lot
about the dynamics between communities and new users—and ways to make
communities inviting and welcoming to both long-time community members and
newcomers who may not be aware of community norms.  For a quick sampling of
my work, check out my most impactful research paper about Wikipedia[3],
some recent coverage of my work from *Wired*[4], or check out the master
list of my projects on my WMF staff user page[5], the documentation for the
technology team I run[9], or the home page for Wikimedia Research[8].

This AMA, which I'm doing with with the Foundation's Communications
department, is somewhat of an experiment. The intended audience for this
chat is people who might not currently be a part of our community but have
questions about the way we work—as well as potential research collaborators
who might want to work with our data or tools. Many may be familiar with
Wikipedia but not the work we do as a community behind the scenes.

I'll be talking about the work I'm doing with the ethics of AI and how we
think about artificial intelligence on Wikipedia, and ways we’re working to
counteract vandalism on the world’s largest crowdsourced source of
knowledge—like the ORES extension[6], which you may have seen highlighting
possibly problematic edits on your watchlist and in RecentChanges.

I’d love for you to join this chat and ask questions.  If you do not or
prefer not to use Reddit, we will also be taking questions on ORES'
MediaWiki talk page[7] and posting answers to both threads.

Since this is live on YouTube, that also means this will be recorded and
available after, right?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] join the Wikimania program committee!

[Yaroslav Blanter]

Just to note that I sent a mail to wikimania-prog...@lists.wikimedia.org on
Feb 3 and never received any reply, not even an acknowledgement receipt.

Now it is too late anyway, but the committee may want to check whether they
are actually receiving mail and make sure acknowledgement receipt are being
sent back.

Cheers

[Wikimedia-l] Join the Simple Annual Plan Grants Committee!

[Winifred Olliff]

Dear Wikimedia colleagues,

We have three spaces open on the Simple Annual Plan Grants Committee, and
we are searching for qualified community members to fill these seats.

The Simple Annual Plan Grants Committee
 is a group of
volunteers who make recommendations about Simple Annual Plan Grants
. These are annual plan
grants available to groups and organizations that need funding for their
annual plans, but aren't a part of the FDC process. These grants may be up
to 100,000 US dollars for twelve months, and include programs and operating
expenses.

What do committee members do?
In addition to reviewing new applications, committee members also support
applicants and grantees throughout the application and the life of each
grant. Serving on the committee requires a significant time commitment
during the month of November, when we accept several applications at once,
and for applications throughout the year. This committee does not meet in
person, so decision making happens online. This is a small committee, and
so each member's participation is important for making the process work!

Requirements (from membership criteria

):

   - Sufficient *facility with English*, for reviewing and discussing grant
   proposals in English.
   - Experience with the Wikimedia movement, including experience
   contributing to *at least one Wikimedia project*.
   - Experience with *Wikimedia programs*, in addition to contributions to
   the online projects.
   - Committee members must *understand and value diversity*, including
   cultural, linguistic, and gender differences.
   - Commitment to the Friendly Space Expectations
   ,
   and to *engaging in supportive dialogue* with applicants and grantees.
   - Consistent record of *constructive engagement in community discussions*,
   and an orientation toward collaborative problem solving.
   - Committee members must be volunteers who are not paid by the Wikimedia
   Foundation or any Wikimedia organization. No WMF or chapter staff may join
   the committee while they are serving in paid roles.


Nominees with these qualifications will be given preference (from membership
criteria

):

   - Experience in a *leadership role* with a volunteer-focused
   organization.
   - *Relevant expertise*, such as organizational development,
   institutional partnerships, or volunteer management.
   - *Experience reviewing annual plan grant proposals*, or significant
   experience reviewing other types of grant proposals.
   - A demonstrated commitment to sharing skills and experience, and *helping
   others *in the Wikimedia movement grow.
   Increasing geographic, gender, or age *diversity*, or experience with
   different Wikimedia projects not yet represented.


Please nominate yourself here
, or
spread the word to people you know who may be interested in joining. We
need your help to recruit qualified candidates!

Let me know if you have any questions or ideas.

Thank you!

Winifred

[Wikimedia-l] Join the community review for annual plan grant proposals!

[Katy Love]

Greetings, Wikimedians!

The community review [1] period for this round of the annual plan grants
program [2] is underway. We'd love to have you join the review! Five
movement affiliates have submitted annual plans and budgets. During this
time, the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) [3] invites you to review
their submitted plans, ask questions, and offer comments and feedback by
April 30.

The organizations whose proposals, plans and budgets are available for your
review include:

* Wikimedia Armenia

* Wikimédia France


* Wikimedia Norge

* The Centre for Internet and Society


* The Wikimedia Foundation



Review the proposals and offer questions or comments on the discussion pages
: 
*https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2015-2016_round2/Community_review

*


In May, the Funds Dissemination Committee will meet to make recommendations
to WMF's Board of Trustees on how to allocate movement funds to these
affiliates in order to achieve the most impact. Your input and
participation will be valuable as they make these recommendations to the
Board of Trustees.

Visit the annual plan grant portal [4] for more information about the
program, the FDC, or upcoming milestones. You can reach the FDC support
staff at fdcsupp...@wikimedia.org.

*More about community review*: The APG proposal submission date is followed
by a 30-day open comment period, when anyone is invited to provide input on
and ask questions about a specific proposal on its discussion page.
Applicants are also expected to respond to input and questions during this
period, although they are not able to change the proposal form itself after
the submission date.

The FDC will review the discussion pages during their deliberations in May
as one of many inputs to the decision-making process. While anyone may
comment on proposals after the open comment period closes on 30 April, the
FDC may not be able to take comments made after this period into
consideration when reaching its decisions.

*How to review*: Please visit the community review page to view the
proposals being considered and follow the instructions. While the proposals
are only available in English, your comments can be in any language.

*Why your feedback matters*: We hope this open comment period will add to
an in-depth and robust review of each proposal, and help keep our
grantmaking transparent and collaborative. The FDC highly values feedback
and insights from the Wikimedia community in making its funding
recommendations.

Warm regards, and with thanks,

Katy Love

[Wikimedia-l] Join the community review of 4 FDC annual plan grant requests!

[Katy Love]

Greetings, Wikimedia community,

I am happy to announce that 2013-2014 Round 1 of the Funds Dissemination
Committee’s (FDC) annual plan grants process has begun! Eleven
Wikimedia-affiliated entities submitted proposals based on their annual
plans (which include programmatic and administrative costs) for funding
requests totaling nearly US$6 million. I want to thank them for their time
and effort in submitting these annual plan grant proposals to the FDC.


We now launch the community review period to help the FDC strategically
allocate movements funds.  From now until October 31, we invite you,
members of the Wikimedia community, to review the proposals, provide
thoughts and ask questions on the discussion pages of the proposals. [1]

More about community review: The FDC proposal submission deadline (October
1) is followed by a 30-day open comment period when community members are
asked to provide input on and ask questions about specific proposals.
During this period, entities that submitted proposals are asked to respond
to input and questions about their proposals on the discussion pages.
Entities are not able to change the proposal itself after the submission
deadline. All community input and entity responses are submitted with the
proposal submitted to the FDC. While the community may comment on proposals
after the open comment period closes on October 31, the FDC may not be able
to take comments made after this period into consideration.

How to join in the review: To take a look at the FDC round 1 proposals,
please visit the community review page [1], which links to the submitted
proposals. While the proposals are unfortunately only available in English,
we hope that the 30 day review period will help address this challenge.
Your comments on the discussion pages do not need to be in English,
however.

*Why your feedback matters: *Community review can help to bring an in-depth
and robust review to each submitted proposal. The FDC seriously values the
input and feedback of the Wikimedia community. Therefore, they ask for your
comments and questions on these proposals in order to consider the
potential impact of movement funds. Also, the community review process
helps to ensure that the grantmaking is a transparent and collaborative
process.


Finally, here are a few milestones to keep in mind with the FDC process
[2]:


   - 2-31 Oct 2013: Community review period of Round 1 proposals
   - 8 Nov 2013: FDC staff assessment of Round 1 proposals published
   - 8 Nov 2013: Letter of Intent deadline for 2013-2014 Round 2
   - 17-21 Nov 2013: FDC face-to-face deliberations on Round 1 proposals
   - 1 Dec 2013: FDC recommendation on Round 1 proposals published
   - 1 Jan 2014: Board decision on FDC's Round 1 recommendations published

Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback on the
process. The FDC support staff can be reached at fdcsupp...@wikimedia.org

Warm regards,

Katy Love

[Katy Love]

*Resending with corrected subject line. Sorry for the cross-posting!

Isn't it great to make a typo on a mailing list and realize it right after
you hit send? :)

Please note: 11 FDC annual plan grants were submitted. Not four. I hope
this makes you more interested in joining the review!

My apologies for making this mistake!

Cheers,
Katy
