Dear Collab members,
We are pleased to announce that the June face-to-face meeting of the
Education Collaborative will be taking place from June 2-4 in Yerevan,
Armenia. We are thankful to our co-hosts, Wikimedia Armenia, as they help
us organize a successful event.
Since last year, the Collab has reached a consensus around completely open
membership. Active members of the Collab will be given scholarships to
cover travel costs by the Education Team at the Wikimedia Foundation.
Active members are those who participated in our spaces (mailing list,
on-wiki, monthly calls, meetups at in-person Movement events) and completed
tasks aligned with our shared goals (documented on Phabricator or
elsewhere) between March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017.
All members of the Collab from the past year who meet activity thresholds
have been offered a scholarship to attend the meeting. We have reached out
to them individually to confirm attendance and to book travel.
Best Regards,
Vahid.

Hello all. I am happy to be involved as well. I am currently using the OD
Brazil but would be interested in attending a training, so we can replicate
it in our context. Hope everyone is well. Cheers, João Alexandre

Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Researching Student Learning with Wikipedia
To: <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org>

I've been working with Wiki Education for the last nine months researching
student learning outcomes using Wikipedia based assignments. We have a ton
of amazing data that we'll be posting about shortly and releasing under an
open license (as well as a summary of some preliminary findings).
I've written a grant proposal for WMF to continue this research as we've
really only touched the tip of the iceberg here. Please check it out and if
you're interested I'd love your feedback (and your support).

At WikiCon, we are discussing possible avenues for the evolution of the
Collab. One option is turning the Collab into a User Group focused on
promoting the goals of education.
Here are a few initial notes, that need to be completed:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x8KbICEGEcxlpAKrU8U-725DTtWlHUYeQBjjvVF…
Your comments, questions, added ideas, (requests for) clarifications, are
very important.
Best Regards,
Vahid.

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message.
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are now being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.[1]
The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation,[2] so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates here: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>.
The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC) and occurring on Meta-Wiki at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>
We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>
Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.
The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.
The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.
* April 7 (00:00 UTC) - April 20 (23:59 UTC): Board nominations
* April 7 - April 20: Board candidates questions submission period
* April 21 - April 30: Board candidates answer questions
* May 1 - May 14: Board voting period
* May 15-19: Board vote checking
* May 20: Board result announcement goal
In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:
* Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
** There are five positions being filled. More information about this election can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_D…>.
* Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
** One position is being filled. More information about this election can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_D…>.
Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.
More information on this year's elections can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017>.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, <board-elections AT wikimedia.org>.
On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Board Election Committee
