Some of you know me, but for those of you who don't, let me introduce
myself briefly: I am a program officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, and
work in the Community Resources (formerly called Grantmaking) team.  While
I handled grants in the past, I am now working on capacity-building
activities with emerging communities, in a program called Community
Capacity Development[1] (CCD, [[m:CCD]]), one aspect of which -- the
Community Capacity Map[2] (CCM, [[m:CCM]]) -- you may have run across on
the Wikimedia-l in the past few weeks.

I write today to ask whether your community would be interested in
discussing a possible visit to Sub-Saharan Africa by me, with several
related goals in each country I'd visit, including:
* a strategy/planning workshop with the group of active contributors. This
would build on any existing plans or strategy you have, and also integrate
thinking about the broad goals identified in the movement strategy
project's phase 1 (presented at Wikimania in Montreal in August 2017.)
* Meetings with important existing/prospective partners (if deemed helpful)
* Public speaking (if deemed helpful)
* capacity-building workshops for your community members, on topics such as
(I'll need your help in determining which of these would be useful):
** Free licenses, non-free licenses, copyright, and OTRS (or: How to
contribute to the Wikimedia Commons)
** Composing encyclopedic prose from a neutral point of view (NPOV)
** Negotiating notability and reliability requirements on Wikipedia
** Conflict management for Wikipedians
** Group facilitation skills
** Introduction to Wikidata
** Querying Wikidata with SPARQL
** Modern tools demonstration
** How to build a partnership
** etc.

Some logistical details:

*If I come, it would be after the Wikimedia Conference and before
Wikimania, i.e. between late April and early July.
* If I come, I would probably stay in Africa for between two and three
weeks total, to have enough time for the above in several countries, and to
accommodate your needs and availability.
* I will have a budget for some domestic travel, to bring key volunteers
together
* No expenses are expected from your group's budget. Only your time and
cooperation.

Please take some time to discuss this idea and let me know if your
community is sufficiently interested that we should discuss it further,
over email or a video call.  If you feel this would not be very helpful, or
you really can't accommodate any additional activities before July this
year, *please* don't feel obligated to respond. I am genuinely interested
in helping, and there are other communities I could be supporting with this
budget and time, so I won't be offended or upset, promise! :)

I look forward to hearing from you.

 Some of you know
 me, but for those of you who don't, let me introduce
 myself briefly: I am a program officer at the Wikimedia
 Foundation, and work in the Community Resources (formerly
 called Grantmaking) team.  While I handled grants in the
 past, I am now working on capacity-building activities with
 emerging communities, in a program called Community Capacity
 Development[1] (CCD, [[m:CCD]]), one aspect of which -- the
 Community Capacity Map[2] (CCM, [[m:CCM]]) -- you may have
 run across on the Wikimedia-l in the past few
 weeks.
 I write today to ask whether your community would
 be interested in discussing a possible visit to Sub-Saharan
 Africa by me, with several related goals in each country
 I'd visit, including:* a strategy/planning
 workshop with the group of active contributors. This would
 build on any existing plans or strategy you have, and also
 integrate thinking about the broad goals identified in the
 movement strategy project's phase 1 (presented at
 Wikimania in Montreal in August 2017.)* Meetings
 with important existing/prospective partners (if deemed
 helpful)* Public speaking (if deemed
 helpful)* capacity-building workshops for your
 community members, on topics such as (I'll need your
 help in determining which of these would be
 useful):** Free licenses, non-free licenses,
 copyright, and OTRS (or: How to contribute to the Wikimedia
 Commons)** Composing encyclopedic prose from a
 neutral point of view (NPOV)** Negotiating
 notability and reliability requirements on
 Wikipedia** Conflict management for
 Wikipedians** Group facilitation
 skills** Introduction to Wikidata**
 Querying Wikidata with SPARQL** Modern tools
 demonstration** How to build a
 partnership** etc.
 Some logistical details:
 *If I come, it would be after the Wikimedia
 Conference and before Wikimania, i.e. between late April and
 early July.* If I come, I would probably stay in
 Africa for between two and three weeks total, to have enough
 time for the above in several countries, and to accommodate
 your needs and availability.* I will have a
 budget for some domestic travel, to bring key volunteers
 together* No expenses are expected from your
 group's budget. Only your time and
 cooperation.
 Please take some time to discuss this idea and
 let me know if your community is sufficiently interested
 that we should discuss it further, over email or a video
 call.  If you feel this would not be very helpful, or you
 really can't accommodate any additional activities
 before July this year, *please* don't feel obligated to
 respond. I am genuinely interested in helping, and there are
 other communities I could be supporting with this budget and
 time, so I won't be offended or upset, promise!

 I look forward to hearing from you.
