Hello everyone!
First, I'd like to notify you that the WLM-i mid-point report is now available on Meta
here.
In
no less than 7 weeks, we have the deadline for our next grant request
for the upcoming WLM competition 2023. Within the team we have spoken
about the financing model on several occasions, and I also want to use
this opportunity to get your ideas about this.
The
international team is considering asking our current fiscal sponsor
Wikimedia Austria to include the annual budget for WLM-i in their
multi-year grant. We would be putting terms and conditions in writing,
and WLM will stay an independent organized competition. But it would
save the international team time to not have to write a grant request
for new funds and 2 reports on the same competition every year (with all
communications before and after that come with these requests and
reports).
