Hello everyone,
I'm excited to invite you to the 30th edition of the DCW Conversation Hour,
featuring Suyash Dwivedi, a dedicated editor and community builder. He is
also the Vice Chair of the Affiliations Committee (AffCom) and is actively
associated with the Commons Wikimedia User Group and Hindi Wikimedians User
Group. In this session, we'll explore what makes a Wikimedia affiliate
healthy and sustainable, encompassing governance, inclusivity, programmatic
impact, and community engagement. Drawing from his extensive experience,
Suyash will also highlight the unique challenges emerging communities face
and share ideas for building stronger, more resilient Wikimedia affiliates.
The conversation hour is scheduled for Sunday, 29 June 2025, at 14:30 UTC
( 8:00 pm IST).

Hi everyone,
I hope you are well!
The Wikimedia Foundation's Culture and Heritage team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Culture_and_Heritage_t…>
is
launching a *decision-making survey for GLAM-Wiki conferences*
<https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/671593?lang=en>.
The goal of this process is to gather input and data to decentralize
decision-making away from the Wikimedia Foundation and enable the GLAM-Wiki
community to take collective ownership of the conference. This may include
forming a steering committee and making key decisions, such as determining
the location of future conferences, their frequency, and other related
matters. The conference will still follow the Conference & Event Fund
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund>
guidelines.
This survey will remain open until *June 30*. This survey contains 25
questions. If you would like to review the questions beforehand or have any
comments or concerns, please refer to this page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Conferences/Survey>.
Please review the privacy statement for this survey here
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal:Decision-Making_Framework_for_G…>
. *Privacy notice: *You can choose to share your contact information if you
would like to be informed of the results. The data is maintained solely to
create a decision-making framework for GLAM-Wiki conferences.
Thanks for your consideration. Your input in this survey is very important
and will help to improve the next GLAM-Wiki conferences!
Best regards,
Giovanna Fontenelle
