Dear Wikimedians,
As you may know, Biyanto (Chair of WMID 2016–2021) has officially announced his departure from Wikimedia Indonesia a few weeks ago. We are very much appreciate for his valuable contributions to WMID over the past six years and making WMID even better and being able to work and collaborate with some of you.
In my email, I would like to update you on some changes from our side, such as the organizational structure changes (board of executives and board of trustees) and the 2021 organizational report.
In February 2022, WMID held a General Meeting of Members to elect the Chair and Board of Trustees. A total of 42 members of the meeting attended and elected the Chair and Board of Trustees to serve for three years until 2024.
Wikimedia Indonesia Board of Executives for 2022–2024 are as follows:

• Hardiansyah, as Deputy General Secretary (appointed). He is a Wikimedian since 2015 and member of WMID since 2017.
• Fajarwati, as Treasurer (appointed). She is a Wikipedian since 2016 and member of WMID since 2017. Previously served as member of Board of Trustees (2019–2021).
• Thirza, as Deputy Treasurer (appointed). She is a Wikipedian and member of WMID since 2017. Served as Deputy Treasurer (2019–2021).
We also have new Board of Trustees who serve for the period of 2022–2024:

In the past month, we have already wrapped up the 2021 organizational and financial report, which can be accessed here: https://id.wikimedia.org/wiki/Laporan_keuangan_2021 (in Indonesian and English).
We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Ivonne who held the position of Deputy Chair (2019-2021) and Djohan who was Treasurer during the same term.
This is all the information we wanted to share with all of you. We look forward to meeting and chatting with you about what we can work on together.
Teriring salam dan terima kasih,
Rachmat

Good day,
Yesterday, the James Webb telescope published its first image, called "Webb's Frist Deep Field" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webb%27s_First_Deep_Field). An article about the image existis in 14 languages. The tweet announcing it has collected in less than a day more than 77.000 RTs and 275.000 likes (https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1546621080298835970). The main object of the image didn't have any article at any Wikipedia (not an item at Wikidata) yesterday. Now we have an article in 8 languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMACS_J0723.3-7327 and a category in Commons.
Well, the Wikipedia twitter handle didn't tweet anything about this achievement, and didn't give any contest to the image. (https://twitter.com/wikipedia).
We could be answering questions. "By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge". We could be centering free knowledge at Wikimedia.
Best,
Galder

Dear all,
Tomorrow is my last day working at Wikimedia Indonesia. Goodbye is a thing
that we should celebrate. I am very grateful to have a wonderful chance to
collaborate with my local community, local organisation, and international
community also various chapters and affiliates. I will continue my
volunteering activity while enjoying my next journey as a master student in
Digital Humanities in Uppsala University, Sweden.
In the last 3 months, I have been doing collaboration work with Rachmat
Wahidi, our new Chair of the Board of Executive with his new teams. I am
sure WMID will achieve more in the future under his leadership with a more
diverse team, lots of local communities, strong grass root movement and
continuous support from the local community members, and our presence in
the ESEAP community makes us one of the biggest communities in the region.
You can always contact me via my personal email (biyanto.iyan(a)gmail.com).

Wikimedia,
Hello. I am pleased to share an exciting update regarding a proposal for a sister project, Wikifact - a resource for real-time collaborative fact-checking (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikifact).
The update is available here: https://github.com/w3c/mathml/issues/390 .
The gist of the new development is that end-users could select Web content in their browsers and then simply use context menus to invoke first-, second-, and third-party services. These services could include crowdsourced, wiki-based, services, e.g., Wikifact or some other new projects.
When I first proposed Wikifact, in 2021, I was thinking that some markup-related or template-related solutions would be useful for providing end-users with user interfaces upon relevant portions of content (e.g., statements, claims, or facts) in documents.
Today, I am thinking about end-users being able to select Web content and then use context menus to invoke first-, second-, and third-party services. These services might provide for end-users with proofs, arguments, justifications, or fact-checking-related information about the selected contents in new tabs. Today, I am also thinking about uses of Web Annotation technologies where end-users could toggle visualizing which content in Web documents already have proofs, arguments, justifications, or fact-checking-related information available for them.
In summary, end-users will be able to select arbitrary contents from across the Web and use context menus to invoke services, e.g., Wikifact or some other new projects, to explore proofs, arguments, justifications, and fact-checking-related information pertaining to the selected contents.
Thank you. I hope that these new developments are of some interest to you and that they might inspire you to continue to explore new uses of wiki technologies!
Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
