[Wikimedia-l] July 14: Strategy update - New Voices research, events, and interviews (#21)

[Katherine Maher]

Hi all!

For the last few months, we’ve all been talking together - on wiki, and in
person - about our own personal and community hopes and goals for the
Wikimedia projects and movement. But while this has been going on, members
of the strategy team have been doing research into the world outside the
movement.

This month, during Cycle 3, we’re sharing what we’ve learned from outside -
from readers, experts, and partners from our New Voices initiative. Right
now, the focus is on ensuring that the voices that normally aren’t part of
our strategic discussions are present and well-represented, and that those
of us in the movement have the opportunity to see into the future, and
think ahead about the way the world is changing. [1]  One of my recent
updates

[2]
provided a summary of the broader context and goals for Cycle 3. Today, I
wanted to share some new resources and materials we’ve published in the
past two weeks, and note that there’s much more to come!

June Wikimedia Foundation Metrics Meeting
. During the meeting, the New
Voices team members provided an overview of initial findings from ongoing
research projects and affiliate-led salons and events. [3]

Considering 2030: Misinformation, verification, and propaganda
.
The Foundation is working with independent research consultants to
understand the key trends that will affect the future of free knowledge.
This assessment is based on a review of more than one hundred reports,
articles, and studies, and it includes a framework to discuss and monitor
trends in misinformation. [4] Please join the conversation on meta or your
local wiki in the next couple of days. [5]

Discussions with experts on the evolving history of knowledge sharing
. We
summarized and published videos and transcripts [6] and outcomes [7] of
three recent brown bag events with experts in social mobilization, emerging
communities, and new readers.

WikiWomenCamp 2017
. At the
second WikiWomenCamp in Mexico City, attendees discussed challenges and
opportunities for women participation in the movement (the inaugural event
was held in Argentina in 2002, and we’re thrilled to see its return). There
are some excellent published photos [8] from the event to check out as well
as a summary of the event on our blog [9].

Bene habeas (Latin translation: “May it be well for you”)

[Wikimedia-l] Réponse à Samuel Legoff, président de Wikimédia France / Answer to Samuel Legoff, president of Wikimedia France

[Thierry Coudray]

Hello folks,

It has been a long time since I have written on this list. More than for 4
years. And I thought I would never write again especially about Wikimedia
France.

For those who do not know me, I'm a former board member, treasurer
(2010-2011) and executive director (2012) of Wikimedia France, a current HR
consultant and a quite long time Wikipedian (2005, user:TCY), a project I'm
still involved and which I care.

During those last weeks former WMFr employees,  WMFr members, even some I
do not know, have contacted me to know if I'm aware of the current WMFr
situation, to find out what I think about it and to find out what to do as
well. If it's gratifying to be recognised, both for my skills and the work
I have done for WMFr  in the light of my  hasty departure of Wikimedia
France in december 2012, I stayed deliberately away. First because I have a
duty of reserve and, for my part, I've strictly followed it. But especially
because I've turned the page of Wikimedia France even if I had to
restrain myself
when I saw what had happened to the great salaried team I had managed.

But a number of things made me think:
- the latest developments of what could unfortunately be called the WMFr
affair or WMFrGate with the revolt of many members  facing Wikimedia France
adrift,
- the risk of a divorce between French wikipedian community and Wikimedia
France with the resentment of some WP editors (for example, a call for a
boycott, fortunatly not yet significant, for the next fundraising which a
part funds Wikimedia France) and while a national chapter is useful to
support Wikimedia subjetcs.
- but above all, the risk that the Wikipedia in French will be damaged when
this affair will be released to the media. And it will be, I've already
been contacted by two journalists  (I did not speak with any of them : one
I really trusted but we did not find the time between our busy schedules
for sharing, and the other one, I did not trust her and I ignored her phone
call).

The recent and staggering Samuell Legoff's e-mail convinced me to break my
four year silence.

I will answer  the e-mail in a kind of "open answer" . I would have
prefered to post to Wikimedia France mailing list but this list is closed
for the next 10 days and the WMFr member which has accepted to forward it,
told me, even with the list opened again, my e-mail would have been
censored. As Samuel's e-mail has been forwarded, translated and subjected
to a great deal of comments on this list and many WMFr members are on it, I
have chosen to publish it here, the only Wikimedia list I'm still on. As
Florence Devouard, Christophe Henner, Chris Keating, Mike Peel and Itzik
Edri are also mentionned in my e-mail, it seems correct they are informed.

Sorry answer below to Samuel is in French. I am not fluent enough in
English for a quick translation and my answer is quite long. But I wanted
it to be exhaustive and accurate face to all Samuel's statements. I am
correcting many errors Samuel has made when he speaks about French labor
law, non profit associations law, HR and management to support the WMFr
board decisions. I am pointing out what I considered not ethical or wrong
past board or ED decisions. I am giving  some specific ways in which the HR
management, governance and ethics could be improved regarding my HR and
Wikimedia background and last but not least I am trying to explain to
Samuel and to the WMFr board how much they are mistaken in their
authoritarian and lack of transparency attitude and locked in a conspiracy
theory about the FDC decision.

In order to provide transparency and because I would like the Foundation
audit can go smoothly, I suggest Samuel to formaly encourage any former or
current WMFr employees to freely testify so to release them of any
confidentiality
agreement they could have signed and to formally make the commitment that
no one will undergo retaliatory measures.

As the primary recipients of my answer are WMFr members, if someone on this
list could forward my answers as many WMFr members as possible, it would be
great.

For those who do not read the beautiful French language, I will try to
translate this next few days but, regarding my burden of work, without
guarantee.

Regards.

Thierry

Samuel,


Ces dernières semaines, d'anciens salariés et des membres ou anciens
membres de l'association, dont certains que je ne connaissais pas, m'ont
contacté pour me demander si j'étais au courant de la situation actuelle de
Wikimédia France, savoir ce que j'en pensais et selon moi ce qu'il faudrait
faire. Si cela est flatteur d'être ainsi reconnu pour ses compétences et le
travail que j'avais accompli pour Wikimedia France au regard de mon départ
précipité fin 2012, je restais volontairement en retrait. D'abord parce que
j'étais tenu à un devoir de réserve et que je m'y suis, moi, strictement
conformé mais surtout j'avais tourné la page de Wikimédia France même si
j'avais du me retenir pour ne pas intervenir face à ce qui était
