Hi all,
I’m delighted to share that a final version of the Wikimedia movement's new
strategic direction has been posted on Meta-Wiki:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10422143
The drafting group[1] bravely spent several weeks reading, considering, and
(when possible) responding to the comments posted about the previous
drafts. Attempting to capture and synthesize the aspirations and opinions
of a global movement based on hundreds of offline and online conversations
is no easy task. Please join me in thanking them not only for taking on
this formidable process, but for helping develop something I believe we can
all be proud of.
I am optimistic that this strategic direction provides every individual and
entity within the Wikimedia movement something to be excited about.
Beginning on October 26, we will be asking for individual contributors and
organized groups to endorse this new strategic direction for our movement.
I encourage you to spend the intervening days discussing this direction and
determining if you and/or your group will be endorsing it. You will find
more information about the endorsement day and the process on the
direction’s meta page next week.
The endorsement concludes phase 1 of the process, and we are currently
drafting the next steps of the process. The main goal of phase 2 will be to
answer the question "How do we implement the strategic direction", which
means identifying the resources needed for execution, and the activities it
involves. A first rough overview of this phase is being developed on Meta.
Take a look! [2]
On a different note, we have completed the move into our new office space
at One Montgomery Tower![3] Once again, thank you to everyone on staff who
was involved in making the move so seamless, and to all of you for your
patience over the past couple of weeks. Later this month, once we are more
settled in, we will be sharing photos and information about our new space
on the Wikimedia Blog.
Stay tuned!
መልካም ቀን። (Amharic translation: “Have a nice day”),
Katherine

Hello everyone!
The Wikimedia Foundation has created a survey for people involved in GLAM
(Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) media upload projects to
Wikimedia Commons. Please consider filling out the survey, if you are
currently participating in a GLAM batch upload project, or have
participated in one in the past! And we very much appreciate it if you
forward this message to colleagues/partners.
Here it is: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7WDA2RZvPDuaV7f
Completing the survey takes 10-15 minutes.
The survey results will be used to understand how the Wikimedia Foundation
can improve its support for batch uploads to Commons - in the project
Structured
Data for Wikimedia Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data>, and beyond.
We are interested in learning more about the media collections that are
donated, the tools people use to prepare and upload files, and the overall
experience of donating media from GLAM organizations to Wikimedia Commons.
The survey data will be collected and stored under the terms of WMF's
survey privacy statement
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/GLAM_Donation_Survey_Privacy_Statement>.
A summary of the results will be made public when the survey is concluded,
so that we can all learn from it!
We hope to receive responses from Wikimedia community members and staff at
very diverse organizations - geographically, in terms of size and focus!
Thank you :-)
Many greetings! Sandra

Hi all,
I am happy to announce that I have worked out most of the bugs on the
Running Editathons training on the Programs & Events dashboard, and its now
live: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/editathons .
I will be marking it up for translation soon: if you would like to leave
feedback, or are interested in translation please let me know via the
instructions at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Training_modules/dashboard/editathon
Special thanks to María Kreuz who did a lot of previous research and gave
amazing feedback that made this as thorough as it is, and everyone else who
pitched in knowledge, skills or documentation to help develop a better
shared vision on editing events.
Also, please share the training widely with new organizers and bring back
feedback.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Hi all,
Sending along the invite below in case you're in the area.

Please join us at a special art and technology event in New York City

Dear friend,
You are cordially invited to join Creative Commons and Rhizome for an
evening of drinks and conversation on Wed, October 18 at New Inc.
<http://creativecommons.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4051250396fe81f55…>,
the New Museum’s incubator for art, technology, and design.
Sharing work into the ether carries little meaning unless it leads to real,
human connections. But finding ways to meaningfully engage and collaborate
with other people online can be surprisingly challenging. Creative Commons
and Rhizome join forces to figure out what can be done to design for and
facilitate behavior that is prosocial -- that is, behavior that leads to
positive, productive interactions.
Prosocial behavior hinges on seeing the humanity in those with whom we
interact. How do we humanize people we communicate with online? How do we
slow down enough to act deliberately and with care? How do we infuse more
accountability and appreciation into digital spaces?
These questions apply to everyone with a digital life, but for this
conversation, we are interested in the role artists, designers, and arts
organizations can play to help craft online spaces that foster prosocial
behavior -- especially those that bridge one’s digital life with the
physical.
Invited artists include:
- Caroline Sinders
<http://creativecommons.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4051250396fe81f55…>,
Digital Artist, BuzzFeed/Eyebeam Open Labs Fellow, Anti-harassment
researcher at Wikipedia
- Michael Mandiberg
<http://creativecommons.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4051250396fe81f55…>,
Artist working at the intersection of technology and social change,
Professor of Media Culture at the College of Staten Island/CUNY, Co-founder
of the Art+Feminism Wikipedia
RSVP
<http://creativecommons.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4051250396fe81f55…>

We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Zachary Kaplan, Executive Director at Rhizome
