Hello GLAM-Wiki folks, If you didn't catch it, the Movement Strategy team is asking for endorsements of the strategic direction. Cheers, Alex Stinson ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Katherine Maher &lt;kmaher(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: Fri, Oct 20, 2017 at 5:10 PM Subject: [Wmfall] October 12: Strategy update - Movement direction now posted for your endorsement consideration (#26) To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;rg>, " wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org&quot; &lt;wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;rg>, Wikimedia Movement Affiliates discussion list &lt;Affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;rg>, Internal mailing list for the Wikimedia's affiliations chairpersons < Chairpersons(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;gt;, strategy(a)lists.wikimedia.org 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 [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/ 2017/People/Drafting_Group [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_2030/Process_planning [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_headquarters _______________________________________________ Wmfall mailing list Wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wmfall -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: http://glamwiki.org
