Fwd: [Wmfall] Invitation to copyright strategy discussion
by Alex Stinson 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hey All, I wanted to share with you a conversation that the legal team is starting below, where they are discussing what the known issues about copyright. I think we are in a really ought to show up in the conversation! It occurs to me, that the GLAM-Wiki Outreach folks, especially in the European Context, have the most experience, by far, in sharing our Copyright framework/strategies to other audiences. It would be super helpful if you weighed in a bit, not only on the copyright law questions themselves, but also shared experiences about outreach and communications challenges related to copyright. Cheers, Alex Stinson ------ We on the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team have been working on creating a better and more collaborative process for organizing, streamlining, and completing Wikimedia’s copyright-related work. We’d like to hear from you about it in the next couple weeks, and then we’d like to work together to identify, prioritize, and address copyright issues. You can read more about the copyright strategy on Meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_strategy, and leave questions and comments on the talk page. Thanks! Charles M.

WMF project request: A Wikipedian-in-Residence to Engage 500 Librarians and their Communities
by Proffitt,Merrilee 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Hello colleagues, As you may have heard, we were fortunate to receive funding from The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to develop and run a program for librarians in order to equip them to embrace, edit, and interact on Wikipedia with a goal of getting them to the point where they can lead programs at their home institutions, engaging their communities. We are thinking big and aspire to have 500 librarians trained in our program. We will do this by developing content for a virtual online cohort that will learn together in real time. We are really excited about the possibilities of bringing the Wikimedia community close to librarians - two communities that are passionate about providing access to information and knowledge. (I wrote about the grant here http://www.oclc.org/blog/main/lets-open-library-doors-to-wikipedia/ ) Unfortunately, we were only funded for 57% of the requested amount. We are making an additional request to WMF to fund the Wikipedian-In-Residence that will be a key part of this program. We think that because of the potential that we have for reaching librarians, and supporting them at scale that this is an exciting program and one that may be a good model for other types of allied communities, and definitely for librarians in other geographies. I am particularly excited about the prospect of developing librarians to the point of being able to empower the diverse committees they serve. We hope you'll take a look at our proposal, give us feedback, and hopefully lend your support. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/A_Wikipedian-in-Residence_to… Merrilee Proffitt, Senior Program Officer OCLC Research

by Pine W 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hello, Does anyone running education or GLAM programs use WikiVoyage, WikiSource, WikiSpecies, or WikiNews in their programs? If so, how do you use them? I can imagine some possibilities for them, but I can't recall ever them being used in education or GLAM programs. Thanks, Pine
