This reminded me of a similar cathartic moment I've had when I've learned
about the Wiki Loves Earth

photo
contest.
It makes me happy to share it with those who haven't seen it and to express
my appreciation to the photographers and organizers of the event.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Café - Saturday 25 Jan 2020 4:30 PM UTC...

[Lane Rasberry]

Hello,

I am writing to invite anyone to join the next online meeting of Wikimedia
Café on Saturday 25 Jan 2020 4:30 PM UTC. Details for joining are at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Café
> (video room open at that time) https://virginia.zoom.us/my/wikilgbt

The agenda for this month includes discussing Wikipedia holidays, Wikipedia
video tutorials, and the Wikimedia Strategic recommendations.

Wikimedia Café is a modest, one-hour, monthly online meeting which for the
past few months has had fewer than 10 attendees. At these meetings anyone
can propose to discuss any topic of broad Wikimedia community interest, as
if we all were able to meet in person over coffee. The meetings themselves
are an experiment in small group Wikimedia community conversation with
video chat, phone access options, and online shared notetaking.

Anyone interested in joining may.
Anyone interested in reading notes of past meetings can find them on the
meta page.
If there is anyone who wants to get their ideas published in the wiki
world, consider looking at how this Café works, because voice chat with
notetaking could be a way to organize your own wiki community.

Thanks,

--

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
The issue then is that diversity is seen as an issue with our collaborators
and not so much as an issue of the needs of our audience.

Having said that, has there every been done a study on how and where the
lack of our diversity in our content exists and how it affects our audience?
Thanks,
   GerardM

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

[Marc Miquel]

Hi Gerard,

I agree it is a good practice to try to find a definition. In my
understanding, diversity is the range of differences in a series of things,
people, cultural traits, etc. So, diversity applied to Wikimedia, it can be
understood as to how well the different profiles in society are engaged in
contributing to our projects, how the different governance structures allow
different profiles to access positions in decision-making, how the
communities capture all the different available knowledge in certain
geographical contexts, etc.

Thanks for asking.
Best,
Marc

Re: [Wikimedia-l] AffCom - Candidates for new mandate

[Philip Kopetzky]

Perhaps the self-re-electing AffCom members can elighten us what the future
of AffCom will look like in the light of the recommendations.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

[Astrid Carlsen]

Hi all,
Thanks for the comments and questions.
The community survey

is about defining the scope of a possible Wikimedia Diversity Conference
2020.

I think the scope of the 2017 Diversity conference is shared on this page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Diversity_Conference_2017

I hope this helps!

Best,
Astrid Carlsen, Wikimedia Norge

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

[Peter Southwood]

Hi Nick, 
That is quite a lot to read to try to find where the scope is mentioned, could 
you be a bit more specific? I do not want to read all about three events in the 
hope of finding where the scope is defined. It was not obvious in the places 
that I looked.
Cheers,
Peter

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Recommendations released, join the conversation

[Andrew Lih]

The Wikimedia Strategy 2030 recommendations were published on January 20,
2020, but the language, size, and complexity can be a intimidating, even
for native English speakers.

I've attempted to summarize the recommendations into ONE PAGE, highlighting
key concepts, structures and processes mentioned in the 68 page document.

It's a work in progress, but I hope it helps to provide easier entry into
the full document. Feel free to provide suggestions, feedback and
reflections.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] AffCom - Candidates for new mandate

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

And the next big surprise, to me, is that so many of their members are
genuinely good people, strongly engaged with the movement. Still, that
committee is something close to a complete failure (if not a complete
failure).
It seems clear to me that the failure of AffCom most probably is not the
fault of its members. But if they do not come in the open to the community
talking about the problems they face there, I don't see much that people
out of WMF can do about it, besides barking at AffCom when it misbehaves.

It seems an useful body, it seems to have been an useful body when it was
still ChapCom - I wonder what have happened after that that led to this sad
situation - and I hope it can be fixed somehow in the near future, as we,
the affiliates, desperately need that body in a functional state - at least
while something else is not devised to coordinate affiliations in the
Wikimedia Movement.

Best,
Paulo - Darwin

Re: [Wikimedia-l] AffCom - Candidates for new mandate

[Chris Keating]

To me the main surprise is that AffCom continues to exist despite being
obviously broken.

It does not fulfill its mandate, it never has done, everyone knows this,
yet still the WMF is happy to have a non-functional committee.
