Greetings everyone,
Wikimedia Foundation’s community liaisons https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Liaisons want to continue improving the collaboration between WMF software development teams and our communities. We want to include more and more diverse people to work together in friendly environments. For this goal, tech ambassadors and tech translators play a crucial role. How can we support them (you!) better?
We would like to strengthen the roles of tech ambassadors and tech translators. Make these roles more visible to new potential volunteers, more enjoyable to contribute to, and more recognized across the Wikimedia movement.
For this reason, we are calling current and prospective contributors to help us define not only a solid definition of the roles, but also related metrics that we will adopt as part of our Key Performance Indicators. We will also explore pain points and opportunities for improvement in the workflow of these roles. This activity has already started with a review of Tech News as a way to effectively disseminate technical information, and will continue with a review of other major product newsletters, among other things.
We are sharing a draft of role definitions and KPIs. Of course, the end result might be much different, depending on your input!
The *feedback period goes from** Tuesday, August 8th to the 22nd**.* (Rest assured that even if we may not be able to reply to each message, we will read and consider all of them.)
You have the opportunity to share your thoughts in the following ways:
-
*Online*, in the 2 megathreads at https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Talk:Technical_Collaboration/Community_collaboration_in_product_ development/Tech_ambassadors_and_translators https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Technical_Collaboration/Community_collaboration_in_product_development/Tech_ambassadors_and_translators ; -
*Online*, by replying privately (not to the list, please!) to this message; -
*In person* at Wikimania this week, by meeting us on Saturday 12, 3-3:45pm, in Salon 2, level 2 of the venue for a focused chat. Please help us spread the word, as this meeting is not featured on the Programme! (maybe retweet this https://twitter.com/Elitre/status/893510196726837248?); -
*In person*, by meeting us at the Community Engagement table https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TP4_xzlxDm6rjNoDQNxEVZV62lefmuHaK8I-BnU0UIo/edit#gid=942980248 (#1 in map https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Village#Location) in Wikimania’s Community Village.
If you're already onboard with being more involved, testing new features, giving or gathering feedback on more complicated issues, and generally being your community's hero, just sign up instead in the tables:
*active tech ambassadors https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Ambassadors/List - active tech translators https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Translators/List .*
We are looking forward to seeing where this will lead all of us!
Elitre,
Senior Community Liaison
Technical Collaboration team
PS: I'm about to jump on planes to Montreal: I plan to spread the word about the initiative above https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration/Community_collaboration_in_product_development/Tech_ambassadors_and_translators in other venues (such as specific pages on Meta) soon.

This is both a gentle reminder to provide your thoughts on the page linked below or come to our little gathering at Wikimania in 2 days (there may be candies...), and a heads-up that the *CE department table is now n.13* (keep an eye on https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Village ).
Talk to you soon!

Hello everyone!
If you are curious to see what we learned from discussing the topic of tech ambassadors and translators with you, head to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Technical_Collaboration/Community_colla... to find out.
We'll work towards having very active wikis covered by at least one tech ambassadors each, so this is another reminder to please add your name to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Ambassadors/List , and/or to tell other people who you know would be great in that role to please sign up. Once this list is big enough, we'll start having focused conversations with the interested people. (Still, don't forget about the translators' table at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Translators/List ! )
Thanks for participating so far, have a great weekend, and talk to you soon,
Erica
