Strategy update - Wikimania schedule, draft direction, brand awareness research, salons and events (#23)
by Katherine Maher 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Greetings — Before I get to sharing the latest updates, I want thank each of you again for your participation in the strategy process. You have helped us to shape a draft direction that we hope truly reflects the needs of every community in our movement. No matter where you plan to be in the world between August 9 and 13, I invite you to join us at Wikimania 2017 in person, by remote attendance, and by using the #wikimania hashtag on social media.[1] *Our Wikimania schedule*.[2] We will discuss the many insights we have gathered through the movement strategy process, share and discuss the draft direction, and work to further understand the future of the movement. Please visit this page to see updates on the strategy session schedule. *The working draft for the strategic direction*.[3] A draft of the strategic direction for the movement is beginning to emerge on Meta. Like many of you, we are eager to discuss the draft, so we have been drafting in public as we go. The language is very early, so if you have feedback, please focus on the substance! I plan to share a more detailed update about the direction over the next few days. *Wikipedia brand awareness, attitudes, and usage research.*[4] What do people know about Wikipedia as a brand? We commissioned surveys in seven countries to help inform the future of the movement, and shared a summary of highlights at the most recent Metrics meeting.[5] *Salons in New York, Washington DC, and Israel.*[6] [7] [8] We are continuing to host discussions with experts and community members around the world about the needs and goals of the movement. We invite you to read and discuss materials from our latest events. *Global Voices meeting in Cochabamba, Bolivia.*[9] In collaboration between the Bolivian Wikimedia working group and Global Voices, 30 representatives from different indigenous communities gathered to review the inclusion of indigenous languages and traditions in our projects. Bien cordialement (French translation: best regards) And à bientôt for those who will be at Wikimania!

New synthesis reports released and ready for translation
by Karen Brown 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Hello all, The Strategy team is continuing to work on synthesizing what participants have shared throughout the cycles of this process. New today, we have two synthesis reports, each of which is ready to be translated: - Summary of key insights (Tracks A&B) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Re…> - Overview of new voices and A/B cycle 2 discussions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Sy…> And in connection with those new pages, the Learn page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Cycle_2/Le…> has two new links to them that need label translation. Finally, we have revised the main Cycle 3 page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Cycle_3> to reflect that we will soon be releasing the draft strategic direction; there is some new text on that page to be translated as well. Thank you all for your participation in this process! Sincerely, Karen -- Karen Brown Community Advocate Wikimedia Foundation kbrown(a)wikimedia.org

August 1: Strategy update - Preparing for Wikimania, the strategic direction, and New voices insights (#22)
by Katherine Maher 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi all — Wikimania is coming, but before we get to Montreal, we are publishing many more insights, reports, guides, and research from our work during cycle 3. There's lots of good stuff and interesting insights (did you know Spain is consistently one of the countries with the highest awareness about our projects and community?), and I encourage you to take a look. Here are a few new updates: *New voices synthesis report.*[1] Are you looking to better understand New Voices projects? Start with this overview report — it summarizes our work across many teams: insights from research, a summary of 58 expert interviews, expert convenings hosted by the Foundation and affiliates, design research findings, briefings on major trends that will impact the community like misinformation and emerging platforms, further reading, and (of course!) references. *July Wikimedia Foundation metrics meeting.*[2] During our July 27 meeting, we reviewed new research on brand insights about why people do (and do not) read Wikipedia, research that focuses on high-awareness countries as part of New Voices initiatives. *Strategic direction committee update.*[3] We are working to consider what we have heard from the community and learned from research to identify what we want to achieve as a movement by 2030. We will share our first draft of the strategic direction with all of you in advance of Wikimania. We’re looking forward to your thoughts on the talk page! *Wikimania movement strategy and events.*[4] Speaking of Wikimania, the Foundation is preparing 6 sessions related to the strategy process in the official program. We will also offer you a physical location for engaging with the strategic direction: the Movement Strategy Space, open from Thursday through Sunday. The Space will host different working sessions, discussions, and the chance to re-energize for the coming weeks and months (we have some special things in store!). The conference organizers are also preparing a remote attendee plan with live video and content for the conference overall, so you will be able to participate if you’re not able to come to Montreal. Please note that online registration ended July 31; after that you can register on-site starting August 8.[5] ভালো থাকবেন। (Bengali translation: “Stay well”) Katherine PS.

July 14: Strategy update - New Voices research, events, and interviews (#21)
by Katherine Maher 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hi all! For the last few months, we’ve all been talking together - on wiki, and in person - about our own personal and community hopes and goals for the Wikimedia projects and movement. But while this has been going on, members of the strategy team have been doing research into the world outside the movement. This month, during Cycle 3, we’re sharing what we’ve learned from outside - from readers, experts, and partners from our New Voices initiative. Right now, the focus is on ensuring that the voices that normally aren’t part of our strategic discussions are present and well-represented, and that those of us in the movement have the opportunity to see into the future, and think ahead about the way the world is changing. [1] One of my recent updates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Updates/23…> [2] provided a summary of the broader context and goals for Cycle 3. Today, I wanted to share some new resources and materials we’ve published in the past two weeks, and note that there’s much more to come! June Wikimedia Foundation Metrics Meeting <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6nIP4VFIi8>. During the meeting, the New Voices team members provided an overview of initial findings from ongoing research projects and affiliate-led salons and events. [3] Considering 2030: Misinformation, verification, and propaganda <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Co…>. The Foundation is working with independent research consultants to understand the key trends that will affect the future of free knowledge. This assessment is based on a review of more than one hundred reports, articles, and studies, and it includes a framework to discuss and monitor trends in misinformation. [4] Please join the conversation on meta or your local wiki in the next couple of days. [5] Discussions with experts on the evolving history of knowledge sharing <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/07/07/brown-bag-knowledge-sharing/>. We summarized and published videos and transcripts [6] and outcomes [7] of three recent brown bag events with experts in social mobilization, emerging communities, and new readers. WikiWomenCamp 2017 <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/07/14/wikiwomencamp-inclusivity/>. At the second WikiWomenCamp in Mexico City, attendees discussed challenges and opportunities for women participation in the movement (the inaugural event was held in Argentina in 2002, and we’re thrilled to see its return). There are some excellent published photos [8] from the event to check out as well as a summary of the event on our blog [9].
