Fwd: What do we need for the future
by Romaine Wiki 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hi all, I organise often edit-a-thons, including ones with female topics. I also have spoken with many female contributors at conferences. This bot gives me the impression that women need a social environment to be comfortable. See also this blog post: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/11/wikimedia-at-fosdem-2015/ An activity report: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/January_2015/Contents/B… And today I have added a description for this in the community consultation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:2015_Strategy/Community_consultation#R… Romaine

Show Wikimedia some love: Let's Talk Diversity!
by Maria Cruz 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hi all, (Pardon the cross-posting) Starting today, we want to show Wikimedia some love in a very special way: talking about diversity! [1] Diversity in Wikimedia projects is key to achieve our shared vision: that anyone can contribute in the sum of all knowledge. We know many efforts have been made to bridge many gaps. Have you: * preserved your cultural or national history through photo contests and editing events? * worked to enrich a particular language or cultural group on Wikimedia? * studied diversity issues in online communities? _What have you learned when trying to encourage diversity on Wikimedia?_ The Learning and Evaluation team invites all community members to share what they know about bringing diversity on Wikimedia projects. This initiative seeks to create a body of knowledge around diversity outcomes for events, projects and programs, in a way to give support to Grantmaking’s Inspire Campaign (coming up the first week of March). If you worked to make Wikimedia projects more diverse, in content or community, what has worked for you? what has not worked? Share what you know with the world! There are multiple ways to engage: 1. Share a problem 2. Share a solution 3. Endorse problems and solutions to vote them up in importance 4. Writing a Learning Pattern (that addresses any of the problems/solutions shared) We will be awarding our brand new L&E Barnstars[2] to contributors during this special campaign =) Visit the campaign page [1] to contribute and discuss, and if you are twitter user, use #ILoveDiversity to promote the campaign for others to participate. Happy editing! *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Project/Diversity_… [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Learning_and_Evaluation_barnsta…
