Hello Collab fellows, let's put this into practice shall we?
I'd like to see new members soon. Some of them are stalled in the membership application ( https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Education/Wikipedia_Education_Collaborative/Mentorship) since November! cheers Vojtěch Dostál předseda rady / chair of the board Wikimedia Česká republika | http://www.wikimedia.cz Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.CR> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/Wikimedia_CR> | Newsletter <http://eepurl.com/b--eXr> 2017-02-13 18:32 GMT+01:00 Vahid Masrour <[email protected]>: > Dear Collab members, > > Based on the on-wiki and the call we had last week, it seems we have > reached a consensus ergarding what membership of the Collab should look > like.

Since October, and up to now, there’s > been a discussion around the evolution of one aspect of the Collab: > membership.

Contributing to those goals is in no way exclusive to > the Collab: anyone is welcome to help reach them. Collab members happen to > focus a significant part of their volunteering time to them, and use the > Collab as a mechanism to facilitate collaboration around those goals. > > In practical terms, as in most Wikiprojects, membership means signing on > the Wiki page, thus indicating your willing participation and dedication of > time and energy to pursuing those goals. > > The expectation linked to membership is thus focused on your contribution > to achieving those goals. The goals are set by consensus, and support the > larger Wikipedia Education Program goals. > > Monitoring contributions from the Collab members > > In order for the Collab members to learn from each other and from each > others’ contributions, the following means of sharing the achievements are > considered: > > 1. > > Use of Phabricator: This is the main tool to register your > contributions to the Collab goals. Activities, reports, and any relevant > contribution to the Collab goals should be represented here. There is a > dedicated Phabricator project for the Education Collab at > https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/1479/ > <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/1479/> > 2. > > Sharing activities and results through additional communication > channels: > 1. > > Attendance at Collab meetings, while not a requirement, helps the > Collab as a whole to hear your voice, and helps you benefit from input > from > the Collab > 2. > > Sharing to the Collab mailing list is also beneficial, be it to > share activities, successes, challenges or asking questions to your > Collab > colleagues. > 3. > > Other communication channels may emerge, depending on the needs of > the Collab. Participation in them accelerates the achievements of the > Collab as a whole. > > > These means of monitoring the Collab’s activities will help the Collab > assess its value and contributions to the Education Program and the > Wikimedia Movement. > > _______________________________________________ > > Let me know what you think! > > Best Regards, > > Vahid. > > > -- > Vahid Masrour > Community Capacity Manager, Wikipedia Education Program > [email protected] > https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education > > > _______________________________________________ > education-collab mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education-collab > >
