Dear all,
This year we, the innovation team at Wikimedia Deutschland and partners
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Re-imagining_UNLOCK/People_involved>, are
setting out on a journey to build a new format for the Wikimedia Movement
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Re-imagining_UNLOCK>, a safe space that
will foster innovation and allow members of our community to experiment
with and build new ideas for Free Knowledge.
As a first step we asked all our stakeholders for input through a survey
and interviews on the needs and challenges our Movement faces in innovating
in Free Knowledge. We have now collected the research data and compiled
some insightful problem statements – quite eye-opening!
Join us at our Open Innovation Café volume 2 to hear about what we have
found and how we will use these insights in building a new innovation
format for the Wikimedia Movement. Maybe some insights will also be helpful
in your work as well?
