Thanks for the update and summary, Thomas. Seems great food for thought and considerations for next steps.

Hello all,
I've just got back from the WikiMedia Summit in Berlin so have written up a brief summary of the points that I think are most relevant to WikiJournals here https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikiversity.org_wiki_Talk-3AWikiJournal-5FUser-5FGroup-23WikiJournal-5Fparticipation-5Fin-5FWikimedia-5F2030-5FStrategy&d=DwMFaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=dweueHwLft03QhMYylXc2Q&m=mnf_lYSGpe_26bzuq4sMpR3Ggiu1-DfLuO2D1Qg5DWM&s=UUQBt5XIxc-g902TfGQPCADYtWxh-OC7Wrz-ALIETWw&e= (copied below).

I think that the Wikimedia Strategy Summit was very valuable - hopefully for both the WikiJournals and for the movement as a whole. There was a very intense and productive atmosphere amongst the delegates. Below are some of the items relevant to the WikiJournal User Group. Resource allocation Based on our experiences, I raised the point that although money can be requested via rapid grant, other assistance is currently difficult to request / requisition, e.g.: Advocacy by WMF on a specific issue PR / advertising Press release Social media post/repost Legal advice Official contact when making new partnerships Partnerhips We have useful experience in forming partnerships, as well as inviting external auditing and oversight that could be potentially relevant to other user groups I recommended that the successes of the WikiJourals could be used by the WMF as PR example of quality and auditability as example link to wider 'big open' knowledge ecosystem Community health Several other usergroups expressed interest in the code of conduct that we're drafting. There is potential for it be useful as a template CoCs for other user groups (or even projects). Other relevant discussions Several attendees suggested using WikiJHum as an avenue for gathering oral histories in a systematic fashion, i.e. covering a gap in wikisource and commons for recording information to generate reliable sources for topics that currently lack them. It was recommended that we update the sister project application https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__meta.wikimedia.org_wiki_WikiJournal&d=DwMFaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=dweueHwLft03QhMYylXc2Q&m=mnf_lYSGpe_26bzuq4sMpR3Ggiu1-DfLuO2D1Qg5DWM&s=fbsbihnS-WzauJufNY0QI7BWScRhW_q4TCc7Arg3fec&e= and re-submit it Gather updated user stats and contribs Notify all relevant Wikiprojects (and other relevant locations) Possible platform for other journals to join (e.g. PLOS, Gene, RNA biol etc.) Write a new opinion editorial on what we think WikiJournals could be by 2030 (concrete goals, stretch goals, speculative ideas) Wikimedia Foundation boar of trustees election This is the first year where Affiliate groups (like us) are able to vote in a candidate to the WMF board of trustees. (see #Update_on_the_Affiliate-selected_Board_seats_2019_process https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikiversity.org_wiki_Talk-3AWikiJournal-5FUser-5FGroup-23Update-5Fon-5Fthe-5FAffiliate-2Dselected-5FBoard-5Fseats-5F2019-5Fprocess&d=DwMFaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=dweueHwLft03QhMYylXc2Q&m=mnf_lYSGpe_26bzuq4sMpR3Ggiu1-DfLuO2D1Qg5DWM&s=PXdEL9SfcrxEZUuT5QPYHH5LHTb2xAouf4pIVLidX9o&e=below for more details). The two relevant points: If anyone wishes to put themself forward as a candidate, the criteria and process are here. Once candidates are all announced, we can discuss and vote on which we want the WikiJournal User Group to support. Our user group then casts a single vote in the election (183 affiliate groups will be voting).
