Subject: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference in Warsaw
To: <wikisource-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikisource Community,
Meeting the Wikisource community expectations, we are working with
Wikimedia Polska and Wikimedia Foundation on organiziing the 2nd Wikisource
Conference in Warsaw. We already had a survey that showed high interest in
the Conference within the community. We also had recently a meeting on the
conference organization process and its requirements. However, we are still
at a very early stage of the Conference organization process. But we are
hoping this event will happen in September this year.
In order to apply for Wikimedia Foundation support, we need some input from
the community about the Conference goals and the community expectations. If
you are a wikisourcian, you wish to participate the conference or you wish
to help the Wikisource community that the conference take place, please
fill the short survey linked below before January 29 (due to short deadline
for grant applications). Please, also share this request among Your
communities. Here is the link to the survey
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7FnFgMLPHeyWtBqjgXwLDYvh5vxeTnsZ…
Feel free to contact us, if you have any questions, suggestions, proposals,
or if you wish to help us in any other way.
On behalf of the Organizing Commitee,
Nicolas Vigneron

Dear Affiliate Representatives and community members,
The launch of our final round of community conversation is finally here! We
are excited to have the opportunity to invite you to take part.
tl;dr: The recommendations have been published! Please take time over the
next five weeks to review and help us understand how your organization and
community would be impacted.
What Does This Mean?
The core recommendations document [1] has now been published on Meta in
Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. This is
the result of more than a year of dedicated work by our working groups, and
we are pleased to share the evolution of their work for your final
consideration.
In addition to the recommendations text, you can read through key documents
such as Principles [2], Process [3], and the Writer’s Reflections [4],
which lend important context to this work and highlight the ways that the
recommendations are conceptually interlinked.
We also have a brief Narrative of Change [5] which offers a summary
introduction to the recommendations material.
How Is My Input Reflected In This Work?
Community input played an important role in the drafting of these
recommendations. The core recommendations document [1] reflects this and
cites community input throughout in footnotes.
I also encourage you to take a look at our community input summaries [6].
These texts show a further analysis of how all of the ideas you shared last
year through online conversations, affiliate meetings, and strategy salons
connect to recommendations. Many of the community notes and reports not
footnoted in the core recommendations document are referenced here as
evidence of the incredible convergence of ideas that have brought us this
far.
What Happens Now?
Affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders have the next five
weeks to discuss and share feedback on these recommendations. In
particular, we’re hoping to better understand how you think they would
impact our movement - what benefits and opportunities do you foresee for
your affiliate, and why? What challenges or barriers would they pose for
you? Your input at this stage is vital, and we’d like to warmly invite you
to participate in this final discussion period.
Affiliates and individuals interested in hosting these discussions, please
connect with me directly so that I can be sure your input is collected and
used.
After this five week period, the Core Team will publish a summary report of
input from across affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders
for public review before the recommendations are finalized. You can view
our updated timeline here [8] as well as an updated FAQ section [9] that
addresses topics like the goal of this current period, the various
components of the draft recommendations, and what’s next in more detail.
Thank you again for taking the time to join us in community conversations,
and we look forward to receiving your input. Happy reading!
Best,
Rupika

Hello all!
Greetings! Wishing you a very happy new year!
We have an update for the next steps of the Movement Strategy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20>!
We're preparing for a final round of community conversations with Wikimedia
affiliates and online communities around a synthesized set of draft
recommendations to start around 20th January. In the meantime,
recommendations’ writers and strategy team has been working on integrating
community ideas and feedback into these recommendations. Thank you, for all
of your contributions!
What's New?
The recommendations writers have been working to consolidate the 89
recommendations produced by the working groups. They met in Berlin a few
weeks back for an in-person session to produce a synthesized
recommendations document which will be shared for public comment around
20th January. A number of common areas for change were reflected in the
recommendations, and the writers assessed and clustered them around these
areas. The goal was to outline the overall direction of the change and
present one set that is clearly understood, implementable and demonstrates
the reasoning behind each.
What's Next?
We will be reaching out to you to help engage your affiliate in discussing
this new synthesized version and helping the recommendation writers as well
as the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees understand how they will
affect your community and what final changes should be made before going
forward. Your input in helping us refine and advance key ideas will be
invaluable, and we are looking forward to engaging with you for a period of
roughly six weeks, starting some time between January and February.
Please share ideas on how you would like to meet and discuss the final
draft recommendations when they are released near Mid January whether
through your strategy salons & meetups, joining us at global and regional
events, joining online conversations, or sending in notes from affiliate
discussions. We couldn't do this without you, and hope that you will enjoy
seeing your input reflected in the next draft and final recommendations.
This will be an opportunity for the movement to review and respond to the
recommendations before they are finalized.
Warmly,
Rupika

funding.

Hello everyone,
We have a few updates regarding the WikiConference India 2020 proposal for
Hyderabad. Initial conversations around the proposal of conducting Wiki
Conference India 2020 in Hyderabad were started in earlier this month in
several Indian wikimedia spaces (Wikimedia India-l mailing list, Meta-Wiki,
and, several Indian language Wikipedias village pumps).
Firstly, we are happy to share the news that there has been a very good
positive response from individual Wikimedians[1]. Also there have
community-wide discussions on local Village Pumps on various languages.
Several of these discussions have reached consensus[2], and are supporting
this idea.
We will be engaging with more communities this week, and clear any
concerns/doubts people may have during this week. Also to wrap up these
discussions and conclude, we would like to call for IRC.
Details of IRC:
* Timings and Date: 6:00 pm on 20 November 2019
* Website: https://webchat.freenode.net/
* Channel: #wci
Looking forward for all your active participation.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Santhosh.
