Frankfurt meeting, 29/30 January
by Austin Hair 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

(Breaking this out into a new thread.) Now that the dates for the Frankfurt meeting have been finalized, I'll add a few more details. The exact venue hasn't yet been determined, but obviously it'll be a suitable space in Frankfurt am Main, so in the meantime it's safe to make plans to fly into FRA. (Or book train tickets to FAM Hbf., if you're close enough and so inclined.) The idea is to start first thing on the 29th and break up after lunch on the 30th, so plan to arrive the evening of the 28th and leave as late as you're comfortable with on the 30th. The primary goal of the meeting is to synthesize the work done in the prior three months and lay out a basic road map for the coming months. There will be at least one IRC session for those unable to attend in person and other interested parties, although the exact time for that hasn't been decided. If you have any questions, as always, feel free to e-mail me or Jon. Best, Austin

Please can you review the revised movement roles pages on meta?
by Jon Huggett 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hi all Reflecting the IRC chat on 11/5, we have revised our plan for the next three months. Before our next IRC chat on 11/19, we'd appreciate your help. Please could you review the movement roles pages on meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project) and let us know whether they are ready to receive views and contributions from the broadest possible range of Wikimedians? We've tried to set up the movement roles pages on meta to make it easy for Wikimedians to share their views. They can contribute to our blog, answer our questions on meta, suggest Wikimedians we should hear from, fill out our fact base, and share views on peer organizations. We've left on the movement roles wiki only the list of people to interview, the sequence of topics for the blog, and some interview notes and survey results (http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Index). Could you also review these lists? On the IRC chat on 11/19 we would like to focus on how to encourage participation from as broad a range of Wikimedians as possible. So that we are ready by then, could you help us by reviewing the movement roles pages on meta so that we can build them in before our IRC chat on 11/19? So that we can incorporate your thoughts before we send out the agenda for the call, PLEASE REPLY by Thursday, 11/18. Cheers, Arne, Austin & Jon

Movement roles meeting: 5 November 2010
by Austin Hair 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hi guys, Just a quick reminder of the meeting tomorrow, 5 November, 1500 UTC on IRC. It will once again be on irc.freenode.net in the #wikimedia-roles channel; you can join using your favorite IRC client, or via http://webchat.freenode.net/ There's no fixed agenda, but the discussion will be guided by http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Next_steps — a page I'd encourage everyone to take a look at anyway. There's plenty of work to be done between now and the January meeting in Frankfurt. If you have any questions, as always, let me know. Cheers, Austin

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 24 Oct '10

24 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.

Fwd: [Foundation-l] Movement roles update and meeting on 21 October
by Arne Klempert 21 Oct '10

21 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 20 Oct '10

20 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.
