Hi everyone, I wanted to share my report about the WikiWomen's Collaborative with you. It's a project I developed as a way to engage and build community around experienced and potential women editors and contributors to Wikimedia projects. My fellowship ends this week, and I'll be writing a blog about my experience. But, please do know: I am so grateful to everyone who has been involved in the past year. Just knowing I had a community of people to come to really means a lot - it's been an emotional and remarkable experience. I'll be writing a more formal blog about the past year, soon. -- Here are my report: - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:WikiWomen%27s_Collaborative/Final_r… The highlight for me is seeing that women involved in the Collaborative started editing more than ever in September - the same time when the project launched. You can also find the main page for my fellowship here: - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Fellowships/Fellows/Sarah_Stierch I hope you'll join us in the project and get involved: - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomen%27s_Collaborative -- I am moving back to volunteer status in regards to my gender gap work. I am still doing public speaking, presentations and all the stuff that goes with spreading word about the importance of women's involvement. But, please do remember: I'm a volunteer again and have three jobs :) If you're curious as to what I'm up to right now: -I'm serving as US OpenGLAM Coordinator for the Open Knowledge Foundation -I'm doing a Wikipedian in Residency at the World Digital Library -I also run my own consulting firm where I work with public and private clients around the world doing museum curatorial work, marketing, lecturing, blahblahblah. I'm also hoping I can do some more projects with Wikimedia, so we'll see!! Thank you again for all of the support this list has given me. I am indebted.
