Meeting schedule
by Austin Hair 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hi guys, Just a reminder (or FYI, for those of you recently joining us) of our upcoming meeting dates. All times are 1500 UTC. * 5 November * 19 November * 3 December * 17 December * 7 January * 21 January I'm not going to set up Doodles for these—if you have a problem with any of the dates/times, just shoot me a note. Additionally, Jon, Arne, I, and anyone who wants to turn up will be meeting the weekend of 29/30 January in Frankfurt. The current plan is to have at least one remote session (IRC or concall, yet to be determined), with one for sure at 1500 UTC on the 30th. Please let me know if you'll be there in person or attending remotely. Cheers, Austin

Questionnaire
by Austin Hair 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

The "questionnaire" / interview guidelines have seen some attention, and I'd like everyone to have one last look at them before we begin talking to people in the coming week. Of note is a new section asking about affiliation, which was added just this weekend and could use some scrutiny. You can find it in the usual place: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Questionnaire Austin

New additions
by Austin Hair 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Just a quick note to mention the people added to the list and wiki after expressing interest at the recent IRC meeting: * Anirudh Singh Bhati from India * Lodewijk Gelauff from the Netherlands * Delphine Ménard from France[0] Please welcome them all, and expect more additions as we encourage more people to join the debate. Austin [0] Although, given that she's lived in Germany for the past five years and is on the board of WMDE, that might be slightly misleading. She's a woman of the world, basically, is what I'm saying.

by Arne Klempert 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Just a quick reminder. Hope that you can make it to the open IRC meeting, starting in about 30 minutes (15 UTC). Cheers, Arne ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Austin Hair <adhair(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 4:49 PM Subject: [Foundation-l] Movement roles update and meeting on 21 October To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> At its meeting on 9 October, the Movement Roles working group presented an update on its current work and an outline for the coming year. Thanks to everybody who participated in the preparation of the proposal. The Board approved the direction of the group, and encouraged all interested parties, particularly chapters and other stakeholders as outlined in the proposal, to engage in the process. You can find the proposal on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Proposal After working mainly on the framing of the process over the past weeks, we're now starting with the real work. For example, over the next few months we will be reaching out to hear from a broad range of Wikimedians. For anybody who wants to engage in the process or just wants to learn more about the movement roles project we will have an open meeting next Thursday. The agenda will be to update you on progress to date, lay out the process going forward, and to find out how you might be able to help us. Please join us at 1500 UTC on Thursday, 21 October on IRC in the #wikimedia-roles channel. If you do not have an IRC client, you can join using a web browser: go to http://webchat.freenode.net/, type in the nickname of your choice, and choose #wikimedia-roles as the channel. If you're interested in participating in the process and can't make it to the open meeting, you can send an e-mail to adhair(a)gmail.com, or comment on-wiki—see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project. We are particularly interested to hear your answers to the list of questions we plan to ask Wikimedians, which you can see at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Questionnaire On behalf of the working group, Austin Hair

Starting interviews?
by Alice Wiegand 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi all, because we all were kicked off the conference last friday there was no way to get conclusion about the next steps and how to work with the open agenda topics. Maybe we also stucked too long in questions about how to open the process and this group instead of talking about what we are trying to reach. I would like to pick up one of the open topics, the questionaire, and combine it with my travelling plans. At the end of October I am joining the Free Culture Forum in Barcelona. The list of participants [1] also names Thomas de Souza-Buckup and Joan Goma and I am thinking about planning a meeting and talk with them personally. With both I have neither conflicts nor especially friendly realtionships, but we know each other and maybe this is a good base for an interview. That idea raises two questions: 1. What do you think about taking this oppurtunity to start the interview phase? 2. Is the reworking of the questionnaire done do far or are we waiting for more input? 3. What is the best way to document interviews? Best regards, Alice.

Draft proposal
by Austin Hair 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Today's work session was extremely productive, focusing mainly on editing the proposal to take into account the recent discussion. Notably, several overly detailed pieces which defined specifics at the outset have been cut, leaving them to be determined as part of the process. A few things have been reworded so as to avoid implying that the process is a mandate handed down by the WMF board, and to be more inclusive of the various groups involved. This is really more language change than anything. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_working_group/Proposal — it was edited one section at a time, so the diffs should be fairly straightforward. Austin

Fwd: [Wikimedia-asia-chapters] Wikimedia in Kansai report - 2010/09
by Bishakha Datta 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Apart from getting inputs from the chapters, I think it would be great for us to get responses from 'non-legal volunteer' groups like this too. Cheers Bishakha ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: KIZU Naoko <aphaia(a)gmail.com> Date: 2010/10/1 Subject: [Wikimedia-asia-chapters] Wikimedia in Kansai report - 2010/09 To: Wikimedia-asia-chapters(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi Wikimedia Asians, (bcc: wikansai(a)gmail.com) first let me introduce myself to you mates, whilst I hope most of you and I have already interacted on internal and/or Wikimania, I'm Kizu Naoko, a Tokyo-born Wikimedian in Kansai where I've been in since 1992. On Wikimedia I'm user:Aphaia and on freenode, I'm britty. So first of all, sorry for your current and possible confusions in future. Since Morgan invited interested people, not only chapter people, to join this list during Wikimania, it stays in my todo box until this morning. I'd appreciate list moderators to approve my subscription. As said, I'm a Wikimedian in Kansai along my other 4 colleagues. We are no chapter at all though, it would be nice to share our activity report with you Asian Wikimedians. Please note some of items are still in progress and hence confidential. * Founding * Wikimedians in Kansai (abbr: WiKansai) was founded on September 15, 2010 as a non legal volunteer group. Before that, we had distributed a press release. Most people had ignored but we got some favorable responses including Academic Resource Guide, Inc. and its weekly e-newsletter. ARG gave us a coverage and at least an academic blogger pick it up. * Event * On Septemer 26, we hosted Kansai Wikimedia Unconference #4. 6 people attended, and two were non-members. One of those is a former non-profit staffer and now an aspirant OOo evangelist, another is a psychologist and professor at a local university. Along three WiKansai those two ladies gave talks, on FLOSS community facilitation and demography of a certain knowledge oriented social media (http://chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp, an answer.com alike). The professor gave us WiKansai short interviews too mainly on our motivation to participate, and has hoped to get a closer term with us and JaWP community. * Talk affiliated by WiKansai * "Get involved into GLAM-WIKI" by Kizu Naoko, at ARG cafe in Kyoto, September 19. ARG cafe is a sort of academic cafe, hosted by ARG, Inc. In a friendly atmosphere around 20 people give lightning talks and people discuss those topics adjacent "ARG fest". Regretfully both speech and beer were charged, but quality was quite good (They served Guinness). Since the majority of audience had been expected to be librarians and archivists, I'd have picked up this topic and mentioned last year GLAM conference hosted by WMAU, some collaboration in Europe from Tropenmuseum to coming two confs. I gave an emphasis to Tropenmuseum case, because it involved int'l collaboration with Indonesian, e.g. Asian Wikimedians. I'd have loved the audience to notice it's already West Pacific rim initiatives, which we in Japan belong also. At ARG fest chats, we found some possible collaborations. See "Plans" section. " Plans " Fixed - October 31, Kansai Wikimedia Unconference #5 at Good-Day (a local firm which offers us the venue for free) - November 5, Ryan Lane Wikimedia tech guy will come to Japan and give a talk. WiKansai got involved to organize his talk along a local conf which Ryan had invited. In progress - November 7, Ryan is planning to give a talk in Tokyo. We organize it with people in Tokyo - January 22 or 29, "Wikipedia 10 years" party; planned in Kyoto, we are now contacting to local firms on possible venue. a local academic (or the blogger who celebrated our launching) will give a talk as invited speaker. Questions, suggestions and cheers are welcome :) Regards, -- KIZU Naoko / 木津尚子 member of Wikimedians in Kansai / 関西ウィキメディアユーザ会 http://kansai.wikimedia.jp _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-asia-chapters mailing list Wikimedia-asia-chapters(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-asia-chapters
