Dear all
We would like to inform you that the Wiki Loves Africa 2017 grant request has been accepted !
Yeah !
La demande de subvention pour WLAf 2017 a été acceptée
THE THEME
/*People at Work*/
*Competition scope:*The theme calls for photographs, videos and audio files that document all manner of occupations undertake across the continent - formal and informal, contemporary and ancient, business-oriented and creative. There will be a special prize that will be concentrated on visually capturing women working, and another that illustrates rare, fading or threatened traditional craft, style or way of working.
LE THEME
Les gens au travail (traduction à préciser) Il y aura un prix spécial pour l'illustration des femmes au travail. Et un spécial pour les métiers menacés d'extinction.
WHEN
The contest will run October-November
There will be a dedicated drive after the event to better use and integrate pictures
QUAND
Le concours se déroulera en Octobre et Novembre Il y aura aussi un effort particulier après le concours pour mieux intégrer et réutiliser les photos
*************
A few things to note though...
1. This year, per request from WMF, only 13 countries will be allowed to request funding to participate with local events. That list covers any country which has already participated to WLAf at least once. Moreover, amongst those 13 countries, some will be covered by the WLAf Project Grant in the same way than in 2014-2015-2016, whilst some will have to request a Rapid Grant to WMF.
This is the list of countries who should ask a Rapid Grant if they want to join in
**
1. *
Egypt
2.
Tunisia
3.
Cameroon
4.
Nigeria
5.
Ghana
6.
Côte d’Ivoire
7.
Algeria
8.
South Africa
*
**
**O*f course, we would support those asking for the rapid grant as needed. The main benefit is... that local budget can potentially increase given that max budget for a Rapid Grant is 2000 dollars. ***
***We will reach out to all groups individually anyway to discuss this. ***

******This is the list of countries who should follow the same process than last year if they want to join in

1. Pour le Cameroun, tu devras faire une demande de Rapid Grant à la WMF pour avoir les fonds nécessaires aux évènements. C'est toi qui choisit toujours ce que tu veux organiser, qui budgète, puis tu fais une demande (similaire à celle de WLW). C'est la WMF qui t'envoie directement les fonds et c'est auprès de la WMF que tu rend compte de l'usage des fonds (comme ta demande récente pour WLW).
On est là pour te soutenir si tu en as besoin (relecture etc.) mais on ne doit explicitement pas le faire à votre place
2. La WMF souhaite que l'an prochain, le concours soit organisé bénévolement. Elle nous demande donc de faire en sorte que cette année, il y ait éventuellement documentation des processus (c'est déjà assez largement fait...), et surtout implication de plus de personnes au niveau de l'organisation.
C'est la raison pour laquelle les processus financiers sont orientés vers des rapid grants. Pour la com globale, beaucoup d'éléments sont déjà en place. Pour le site notice, on va affiner au maximum cette année pour que ca "coule de source" l'an prochain. Le jury... il semble qu'on ait enfin trouvé un outil fonctionnel ! (ouf). Cette année, il faut vraiment qu'on travaille sur le plan technique, pour la catégorisation des images (tu te souviens, l'an dernier... ça avait été rock'n'roll). Et mettre en place un système automatique de bienvenue et de remerciement aux donateurs.
Pour les aspects de reporting and co... nous ne savons pas du tout comment cela va se passer (doit être discuté avec WMF cet été)
Et puis on va essayer d'organiser des évènements post concours pour favoriser la description, catégorisation et surtout utilisation des images. Ca reste à ... imaginer.

Hello folks
Following up on Wiki Loves Africa :)
(answers to private emails will follow)
Seeing that many of you do not seem super confortable using mailing list and how many seem confortable using Facebook, I suggest we create a Facebook group for WLAf, in a very similar way that the wikiindaba group (closed group)
What do you think ?

J'ai envie de commencer à bosser un peu sur Wiki Loves Africa, même si ce n'est pas urgent... simplement car j'ai besoin de sentir qu'il y a des gens de qualité dans notre communauté, des gens avec qui j'ai envie de faire des choses, des gens de bonne volonté.

Je comprend
Moi c'est le BORDEL monstrueux à Wikimedia France qui me bouffe tout mon temps cerveau. Et mon temps tout court d'ailleurs...
J'ai envie de commencer à bosser un peu sur Wiki Loves Africa, même si ce n'est pas urgent... simplement car j'ai besoin de sentir qu'il y a des gens de qualité dans notre communauté, des gens avec qui j'ai envie de faire des choses, des gens de bonne volonté.
Voili voilà :)

Je suis très saturé ces jours à cause de Wiki Loves Earth; je lis seulement les messages sans vraiment y répondre.

Hi,
I think that Florence made a very good suggestion. I often correspond with my African colleagues more by FB than by email.
