Hello Fellow Wikipedians/Wikimedians,
We wish to your notice that the upcoming conference “Wiki Indaba 2016” will likely hold in January 2017. The WMF is requesting this change of date to allow them work closely to build a suitable program for the conference. We have been asked to require all prospective participants meet some conditions in order to be afforded the opportunity to attend. Also to be eligible for funding the WMF wishes to see as much endorsements as possible from the African Community via this link https://goo.gl/Ej9CEb - https://goo.gl/Ej9CEb
Below are some issue and concerns that were raised;
To be eligible for a travel scholarship, groups must fill out the questions and needs page https://goo.gl/5pvHo4 - https://goo.gl/5pvHo4 2.
The program will focus on a limited number of topics identified from the questions and needs page, and will include several substantive capacity building workshops. 3.
People who receive scholarships must agree to either host a training when they return to their home community to share something they learned at the conference, or take responsibility for following up one action item from a conference session. 4.
The conference should be delayed until at least January 2017 to ensure that communities have time to discuss their needs and prepare effective workshops and programs.
We ask that all prospective partcipants (members of potential communities, community leaders, project leaders and active editors) review the above criteria and leave a comment on the endorsement page < https://goo.gl/Ej9CEb%3E
- https://goo.gl/Ej9CEb if you agree to participate in the conference
planning and post-event follow up that has been proposed.
Please if you have any concerns and do not hesitate to contact me or the team via wikiindabateam@googlegroups.com.
We thank you for your cooperation.
