Hi all, I've started a page on Meta which I hope will act as a hub for documentation and ideas around the training and development needs of Wikimedia movement organisations:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Organisational_development I'd ask anyone who's interested in this kind of thing to have a look and add examples and thoughts for the future. As many people will know from my contributions to this year's and last year's Wikimedia conference, or from the training workshop we held in London in early March, this is an issue where I feel the movement (or, at least, the part of the movement that is involved in movement organisations!) can and should do better. I was interested to read the Signpost coverage of the Wikimedia Conference(1) which evidently comes from a similar point of view! We are slightly hampered by the fact that there is no single body responsible for doing this kind of training and development work, so I would invite everyone with a stake in this (WMF, FDC, AffCom, Chapters, Thorgs, User Groups, interested individuals) to treat this as something where everyone can play a role in sharing experience, scoping out the way forward, and building a better way of doing this for the future!
