Meetup at Wikimania in prearation of WikiNEM

by Sara Mörtsell

Hi all, For those of you attending Wikimania, we have now booked a meetup for Saturday lunch time, 13.00-14.00 in the room called Esino Lario https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetups#Saturday. This will give us a chance to discuss and prepare for our upcoming Northern Europe Meeting (WikiNEM) in October https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018. I guess depending on how lunch is organized, it may work out that we have a joint lunch, or we bring lunch to the meeting room. If this is a terrible time for you, let me know and I can reschedule. We will work on some agenda items and share with you. Please help share this message to members of your community who are not on the list. See you soon!

Movement Strategy - call for Working Group participation

by Kaarel Vaidla

Dear regional partners and friends in strategizing, I am happy to invite you all to participate in the Working Groups of the Phase II movement strategy discussions! I am forwarding the initial call that the Program Manager Nicole Ebber posted in Wikimedia-l. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out! ___ *Dear Wikimedians, Following up on Katherine’s email from last week[1], we are today opening the call for Working Group members for 9 Thematic Areas (yes, we added one more!).== Working Group members == The Working Groups will map the present situation of their Thematic Area, the obstacles and opportunities, as well as needed changes. They will identify possible strategies for making these changes and develop concrete recommendations for the movement on how to ratify and implement them.[2] Working Group members will need to be able to invest a minimum of 5 hours per week, but that time might vary depending on the workflow that each group agrees upon. Members of the Working Groups are expected to act in the interest of the movement, not in the interest of their own organization or community. == Selection of members ==We are looking for a maximum of 15 members for each of the 9 groups. For best results we will need a diverse set of members from across the movement. We have developed a set of criteria, to ensure the necessary expertise, diversity, and representation.[3] We will assemble a Steering Committee to decide upon membership of the Working Groups in close coordination with the Core Strategy Team.[4] == Apply to become a working group member == We encourage everyone with an interest in the strategic conversations to apply for becoming a Working Group member in their topic of expertise. We recommend that movement organizations and groups create internal processes for the selection of their candidates to avoid multiple, competing applications. The call will be open until June 25, 2018. Please apply via this application form.[5] To prepare your application, you can consult the overview of the questions asked in the form on Meta.[6] == Next steps == We expect to be able to announce the Working Group members in the second week of July, so that the working groups can be assembled, onboarded and ready to start working before Wikimania. The first step for the groups will be to agree upon their set-up and scope of work. At Wikimania, we plan to convene the attending Working Group members in the Strategy Space to discuss and refine their road to the recommendations and ensure exchange between the groups.[7]We invite you all to familiarize yourselves with the existing documentation of the Working Group(s) of your interest,[8] add comments, additional input or share your concerns via talk pages Your comments will be then forwarded to the respective Working Groups for consideration.We are looking forward to working and having these long-awaited conversations with many of you! In the name of the Strategy Core Team, Nicole [1] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-June/090417.html <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-June/090417.html> [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working…> [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working…>[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working…> [5] https://goo.gl/forms/zVElm0hLT9eZvqwF3 <https://goo.gl/forms/zVElm0hLT9eZvqwF3> [6] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working…> [7] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working…> [8] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working…>? * ___ Have a great continuation to the week! -- *Kaarel Vaidla* Process Architect for Wikimedia Movement Strategy 2030.wikimedia.org

Save the date: Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting [WikiNEM] 5-7 October 2018

by Sara Mörtsell

Hi everybody, Due to logistics, we've rescheduled the Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting 2018 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018> for October. We have the venue, conference facilitator and teams from WMNO and WMSE all locked in for these dates. The event will be on *6-7 October* as the main dates. For early arrivals there will be some type of social activity on Friday evening 5 October. We hope that these dates will work for most of you. Based on the experience we gained from the Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2017 we hope to create a program that is highly interactive. later in June we will start planning with the conference facilitator and based on the feedback and thoughts presented in the *Community engagement survey* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/Northern_Europe_Meeting_2…> we will create an initial draft of the program. Furthermore, we hope to have a pre-meetup at Wikimania in South Africa. We will register a slot in Wikimania’s program for that and we really hope that you can take part if you're attending Wikimania. Best Regards, Sara -- *Med vänliga hälsningar, * *Sara Mörtsell* Sara Mörtsell | Education Manager, Wikimedia Sverige <http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huvudsida> sara.mortsell(a)wikimedia.se | +4673-383 26 70 *Stöd fri kunskap genom att bli medlem <http://blimedlem.wikimedia.se/>! *
