Hi All,
I am hoping to add an Editing Events organizer training to the Programs and
Events Dashboard in the coming months. I know there is a lot of
documentation for editathons out there, including but not limited to what I
have listed at:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Sharing_Knowledge#Editathons .
What is your favorite piece of documentation (any language) for new
Editathon runners?
Cheers,
Alex

Subject: [Commons-l] Welcome Amanda Bittaker as the Program Manager for
Structured Commons

Hi Wikidata and Commons Communities,
I’m excited to let you all know that Amanda Bittaker (cc'ed) has joined the
Audiences (formerly Product) team at the Wikimedia Foundation as the
Program Manager for the Structured Data on Commons program. She will be
working closely with teams from the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikidata team
at Wikimedia Deutschland, and the communities to complete the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation grant [1], expanding the capabilities of Commons to make
it easier for people and institutions to find, share, and reuse Commons
content.
Many people may have met Amanda already. She joined the Foundation in
November 2014, working with the Learning & Evaluation team to help wiki
program organizers’ design, manage, and evaluate their programs. During
that time, she also partnered with engineers to build program tools such as
the Program and Events Dashboard[2] and the Global Metrics Magic Button [3].
Before joining the Foundation, Amanda worked in the international
development industry for five years, doing finance, program design,
monitoring, and evaluation. She spent two years in South America. Once upon
a time she also ran and oversaw programs at a nonprofit bicycle education
space that operated entirely by general consensus, which taught her a lot
about collaborative and transparent program management.
She is eager to work on Structured Data on Commons, helping our communities
make Commons as useful as possible, and helping to make transitions in
processes and workflows as smooth as possible. Amanda is based in San
Francisco in the US. You can find her on the wikis or at Wikimania or the
Wikimania hackathon in Montreal. She can converse pretty well in English
and Spanish, and would like to practice her French more, but it is still
very basic.
Cheers,
Alex

Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Conference 2017: Report and
more learning material published
To: WikimediaAnnounce-l <WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
Three months ago, we welcomed many of you in Berlin to work, discuss and
get inspired at the Wikimedia Conference 2017. We have now published our
extensive and colorful grant report for this event, and you can read it on
Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2017/Report
In the meantime, the documentation of all sessions is complete. Check it
out on Meta as well:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2017/Documentation
While preparing the report, we have also written three learning patterns to
capture and share our experiences with other movement event organizers.
1) “Timing, Communication, Preparation: How to support your event
participants in the best way to get a Schengen Visa”
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/Timing,
_Communication,_Preparation:_How_to_support_your_event_
participants_in_the_best_way_to_get_a_Schengen_Visa
2) “Briefing calls with speakers: A simple way to improve conference
sessions”
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/

3) “The Buddy Project: Let’s make your conference more newbie friendly!”
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/The_
Buddy_Project:_Let%E2%80%99s_make_your_conference_more_newbie_friendly!
And if you think, “wow, that’s a lot!”: David Saroyan, Visiting Wikimedian
at Wikimedia Deutschland from January until April, wrote a blog post about
his experience in the Wikimedia blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/06/30/why-i-visiting-wikimedian/
We would like to thank all participants, partners, affiliates and experts
who have contributed to making this such a great event, and the Wikimedia
Foundation for their generous support.
Thank you,
Happy reading,
Cornelius, Nicole, Daniela and Wenke
(the WMCON team)
PS: Stay tuned for our upcoming announcement of the Wikimedia Conference
2018 dates.
