Hello all,
It's just come to my attention that in addition to the Strategy summit in Berlin, the WMF also has a structure for continuous participation in overall movement strategy. Each user group can nominate a *Strategy Liaison* as the contact point for the WMF strategy process (summary below and at further info at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/People/Strategy_Liaisons_Organized_Groups ).
"Strategy Liaisons appointed by Organized Groups will act as a conduit for ideas, questions, and updates. This will enable Organized Groups to participate effectively in the Movement Strategy Process and ensure that voices and perspectives of organizations and collaboratives are well heard and considered. The Liaison will be engaged in (pro)active communication with the Working Groups and the Core Team to ensure that their organization is up to date with the overall process and its internal conversations are synchronous and well connected to global discussions."
If any board member or associate editor would be interested in filling this role, just email editor.in.chief@wikijmed.org, contact@wikijsci.org, and contact@wikijhum.org. If there are multiple applicants we can open a vote between them.
All the best, Thomas

Hello all,
The 2019 WikiMedia Summit in Berlin https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Summit_2019 is coming up on the 29th of March. The scoping documents https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Summit_2019 have just been released (links below) to guide the 3-day-long discussion on the Wikimedia Movement strategy for the next 10 years. There will be >200 representatives there from the different national chapters, user groups, affiliates, trustees, WMF staff and specialist invitees. I'll be representing the WikiJournal User Group https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group at the summit and aiming to focus on what WikiJournals can offer, as well as their preferences. I'll also try to convey the interests of the academic community as a whole where possible. If there are any ideas or feedback on the scoping documents, please let me know *at this link* https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group?veaction=editsource§ion=112#WikiJournal_participation_in_Wikimedia_Strategy_2030 and I'll make sure to raise them during the summit.
All the best,
Thomas
