Calling all Program leaders!
You may have seen that we updated the case studies page on Outreach Wiki.
We got a few good submissions, and we greatly appreciate those who took the
time to submit their Case Studies during this initial campaign! [1]
We want to showcase and highlight the great work that is going on around
the world in GLAM, Education, and other programs. For that reason, we have
decided to extend the case studies collection period, and will be providing
additional opportunities to work on case studies together!
Additionally, at Wikimedia Conference, Wikimania and other regional
conferences, we will be holding clinics to help you draft your case study.
We will also hold several virtual clinics where Wikimedia Foundation
Programs staff can give you feedback and support on developing your own
case studies (keep your eye out for invitations for these workshops!).
If you thought you might want to submit a case study, but haven’t done so
yet: please let us know that you are interested by responding to this email!
We can support you in drafting or developing the case study using the case
study templates on outreach.[2] If you would like to share a case study you
have already drafted, you can still do so through the input boxes on the
same page.
Remember case studies can be submitted in English or local languages.
Thank you again for participating in this important initiative. We look
forward to seeing you at the upcoming case study clinics!
Sincerely,
The WMF Programs Team

Hi all!
In a bit more than an hour - at 18:00 UTC - the IRC office hour about
Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons will start in the IRC channel
#wikimedia-office. We plan to give many updates about the project, and
of course there is also room for questions. The log will be published
afterwards.
Hope to see you there! Sandra

Hi everyone!
If you are curious about Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons: we have a
IRC office hour planned next Tuesday, November 21, at 18:00 UTC in
#wikimedia-office <irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-office> (connect
<https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikimedia-office>).
Amanda Bittaker, Ramsey Isler and I will update you on the things we are
working on, and on the upcoming plans and roadmap.
If you are unable to be there: the log of the office hour will be
published afterwards. But of course, when attending live, you can ask us
all your burning questions :-)
Hope to see you there! Sandra

Calling all program leaders and admirers!
Is there an education, GLAM or other program that you really admire? One
you would like to know more about? Have you seen via the newsletter, blog,
or social media a project that you think would make a great case study?
The WMF Programs team would like you to encourage program leaders now to
submit their case study to the Programs Case Studies Campaign. We will be
accepting submissions until January 8, 2017 . We will then select projects
in Education, GLAM and across all program areas to be highlighted in new
case study brochures and materials.
See https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Case_studies for more information
about submission criteria and the selection process.
Thanks much,
Nichole Saad, Education Program Manager

Hello GLAM-Wiki folks,
If you didn't catch it, the Movement Strategy team is asking for
endorsements of the strategic direction.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Subject: [Wmfall] October 12: Strategy update - Movement direction now
posted for your endorsement consideration (#26)
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "
wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia

Hi all,
I’m delighted to share that a final version of the Wikimedia movement's new
strategic direction has been posted on Meta-Wiki:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10422143
The drafting group[1] bravely spent several weeks reading, considering, and
(when possible) responding to the comments posted about the previous
drafts. Attempting to capture and synthesize the aspirations and opinions
of a global movement based on hundreds of offline and online conversations
is no easy task. Please join me in thanking them not only for taking on
this formidable process, but for helping develop something I believe we can
all be proud of.
I am optimistic that this strategic direction provides every individual and
entity within the Wikimedia movement something to be excited about.
Beginning on October 26, we will be asking for individual contributors and
organized groups to endorse this new strategic direction for our movement.
I encourage you to spend the intervening days discussing this direction and
determining if you and/or your group will be endorsing it. You will find
more information about the endorsement day and the process on the
direction’s meta page next week.
The endorsement concludes phase 1 of the process, and we are currently
drafting the next steps of the process. The main goal of phase 2 will be to
answer the question "How do we implement the strategic direction", which
means identifying the resources needed for execution, and the activities it
involves. A first rough overview of this phase is being developed on Meta.
Take a look! [2]
On a different note, we have completed the move into our new office space
at One Montgomery Tower![3] Once again, thank you to everyone on staff who
was involved in making the move so seamless, and to all of you for your
patience over the past couple of weeks. Later this month, once we are more
settled in, we will be sharing photos and information about our new space
on the Wikimedia Blog.
Stay tuned!
መልካም ቀን። (Amharic translation: “Have a nice day”),
Katherine

Hello everyone!
The Wikimedia Foundation has created a survey for people involved in GLAM
(Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) media upload projects to
Wikimedia Commons. Please consider filling out the survey, if you are
currently participating in a GLAM batch upload project, or have
participated in one in the past! And we very much appreciate it if you
forward this message to colleagues/partners.
Here it is: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7WDA2RZvPDuaV7f
Completing the survey takes 10-15 minutes.
The survey results will be used to understand how the Wikimedia Foundation
can improve its support for batch uploads to Commons - in the project
Structured
Data for Wikimedia Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data>, and beyond.
We are interested in learning more about the media collections that are
donated, the tools people use to prepare and upload files, and the overall
experience of donating media from GLAM organizations to Wikimedia Commons.
The survey data will be collected and stored under the terms of WMF's
survey privacy statement
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/GLAM_Donation_Survey_Privacy_Statement>.
A summary of the results will be made public when the survey is concluded,
so that we can all learn from it!
We hope to receive responses from Wikimedia community members and staff at
very diverse organizations - geographically, in terms of size and focus!
Thank you :-)
Many greetings! Sandra

Hi all,
I am happy to announce that I have worked out most of the bugs on the
Running Editathons training on the Programs & Events dashboard, and its now
live: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/editathons .
I will be marking it up for translation soon: if you would like to leave
feedback, or are interested in translation please let me know via the
instructions at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Training_modules/dashboard/editathon
Special thanks to María Kreuz who did a lot of previous research and gave
amazing feedback that made this as thorough as it is, and everyone else who
pitched in knowledge, skills or documentation to help develop a better
shared vision on editing events.
Also, please share the training widely with new organizers and bring back
feedback.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson
