In short, Inspire is a global campaign to proactively source and support new projects aimed at addressing a specific strategic topic. Our first campaign will focus on addressing the gender gap: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire_Grants_%E2%80%93_Gender_gap_campaign.
In
order to focus, we will take a short break from the regular funding
routines in both Project and Event Grants (PEG) and Individual Engagement Grants (IEG). We are dedicating round 1 of IEG funding
and 3 months of PEG funding to the campaign. From
February 1-April 30, PEG will only accept proposals as part of the
gender gap campaign, with the exception for urgent requests. And IEG's first round of the year will be devoted to this experiment.

Yes, exactly.It's a plan, it's not a definitive plan.It has been communicated to the committees as general plan to focus some period of the year to some specific areas in order to produce more impact.RegardsOn Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 5:06 PM, Lodewijk <lodewijk@effeietsanders.org> wrote:Hi Ilario,I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying. Are you suggesting that for three months long, nobody can get a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation if it is not directly related to the gender gap? This would be very surprising to me, and inconsistent with communications that I am aware of... It would be quite disruptive of the process as well.Nonetheless I do think that any project like Wiki Loves Monuments that involves a general audience, is in part a solution to the bias-problems such as the gender gap. But it would be counterintuitive to position it as such.LodewijkOn Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 3:41 PM, Ilario Valdelli <valdelli@gmail.com> wrote:Best regards and happy new year (at least for those using the Gregorian calendar).For your record, there is the plan to reserve the grants of the first quarter of 2015 for project for gender gap. It's an idea not official yet.So I agree that the best is to draft the budget because the submission probably may be conditioned by this decision and delayed to the middle of 2015.--On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 9:46 PM, Lodewijk <lodewijk@effeietsanders.org> wrote:Hi Yan,Actually, the grant for next year should already be drafted by now :) I don't want to hurry people too much, but I'm afraid it would be unwise to wait with finding the team for next year...Best,LodewijkOn Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 9:39 PM, Ynhockey <ynhockey@gmail.com> wrote:Can we wait for this year's competition to end before agreeing on next year's team?

Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Call for Volunteers - WLM International Team_______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.orgDear all,We shall need a good international team to have another successful version of Wiki Loves Monuments after 2014. The team should comprise of experience volunteers who have conducted WLM or any such event in their country.There are numerous tasks and first task will be to hunt and find our countries who shall be willing to organise Wiki Loves Monuments again. To brief, the International Team is more of coordinating with all participating countries and without proper coordination, there will be no international competition for WLM 2015.Been in the international team is also more of applying for grant, documenting, following up and keeping track of status of all participating countries. Time to be spent may vary according to the skill of team members; more the skills and people, lesser the burden; however you can assume 10 hours a week during the contest (just horrifying).Would you be interested to be part of international team for WLM 2015, please send me a brief introduction of yourself and also a note on how you would benefit the international team. Please send the same by 6th of Jan.Regards from Mumbai,
Karthik Nadar.
