Hello dear friends,
I’m happy to provide you with an update about what happened since the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin. Some of the conference participants met again at the WMCON Follow-Up Day before Wikimania and build upon certain topics.[1]
As it is my role as the Program and Engagement Coordinator for the Wikimedia Conference, I’m tracking what happened around the main issues of the conference. You can find all the details on Meta.[2]
If you’re interested in certain topics, please don’t hesitate to contact the respective thematic ambassadors. Also, if you feel that specific aspects are missing, drop me a line.
By the way: Have you seen our lovely grant report on the Wikimedia Conference? It contains a lot of learnings for the movement and might be useful for preparing future movement conferences of any kind.[3]
Best regards
Cornelius

******************************** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_DE/Wikimedia_Conference_2015/Report For your convenience, I have copied the summary of the sessions here. For details, photos and links, please check the report on Meta.[2]
== Movement Roles == * At the WMCON Follow-Up Day Nicole Ebber held a session regarding the idea of a “Movement Roles” consultation. People agreed that such a broad themed consultation wasn’t useful and should be focused on a certain issue.
== Partnerships & External Grants == * At the WMCON Follow-Up Day, John Andersson led a first session regarding external grants processes and needs among affiliates. Together with the PEC, next steps to pursue are mapping the current interested and responsible persons for external grants among the chapters and creating a kind of knowledge sharing hub on Meta for that topic.
* At the WMCON Follow-Up Day, Anne-Laure Prévost (WMFR) led a session on partnerships, partnership processes and hurdles to reach them. Anne-Laure will publish a summary of the session soon. If you’re interested in that topic or would like to share your process creating a partnership with an institution, reach out to her!
=== Advocacy / Public Policy === * At the WMCON Follow-Up Day, Dimi Dimitrov collected and gathered further input and added them to the brainstorming list. Based on the five core policy areas (Copyright, Censorship, Access to Knowledge, Intermediary Protection, Privacy & Surveillance), the WMF Legal Team will start to produce “policy white papers” and publish them on a proper site.
=== Governance === * Tim Moritz Hector (chair of the board of WMDE) and Abraham Taherivand (chair of the transition committee), publish a document of lessons learnt on how Wikimedia Deutschland managed its Executive Direction transition phase.
== Communication == * Based on the Communications session at the Wikimedia Conference 2015, Michael Jan (WMDE) and the WMF Communications team publish the Movement Communications skill page on Meta. Please add your information, ideas and questions.
* At Wikimania 2015, the WMF Communications Team and members of the Communications Committee (ComCom) met to discuss several issues. Based on the conversations, the WMF Communications team plans (until September 30) to improve and reevaluate this list, to map people on the ComCom maing list, to find out who wants to stay on the list and to assess and clarify list membership criteria.
=== Community Support === * The VSN published its working paper and gathered further input for it at the WMCON Follow-Up Day.
* Sati Houston and Asaf Bartov published her report on the results of her research on needs and ways to support emerging communities in June. The report was published on Community Capacity Development Framework.
* Based on Abraham Taherivand’s presentation at the Wikimedia Conference 2015 on user-centered software engineering, Birgit Müller is a continuous exchange with Wikimedia Israel to implement a similar process in the Hebrew Wikipedia.
=== Miscellaneous === * Cornelius Kibelka (PEC) supports the CEE meeting organisers in the program developing process. The process is based on gathering questions and needs of its members and members-to-be on Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2015/Questions&Needs. At the CEE meeting, Cornelius will start to gather thematic input for the next Wikimedia Conference.
* The WMCON2015 organising team (Nicole Ebber, Cornelius Kibelka, Wenke Storn, Daniela Gentner) published an extensive report including learnings on the Wikimedia Conference 2015. At the WMCON Follow-Up Day at Wikimania, Nicole presented her plan and timeline for the next Wikimedia Conference.
Hello Cornelius,
I attended once Wikimania in 2011, when I got a lot of ideas and information about this wonderful project (Wikimedia). Since that, minority languages have been on mi mind, because I belong to Aymara nation in The Andes of South America.
I wonder, how mimority languages projects have been going on or what is the team concerned about them. I really want to do many things related to languages like Aymara, Quechua, Uru, and others in Bolivia. We have been starting some conversations with Wikimedia Bolivia.
Greetings from El Alto-Bolivia.
Ruben

Hi Ruben,
unfortunately, at the moment, Minority Languages are not a topic of the Wikimedia Conference, the yearly conference of the Wikimedia affiliates, committees and the WMF I'm taking care of. Major topics of the conference are (at the moment) Movement Roles, Partnerships & External Grants, Advocacy / Public Policy, Governance, Grantmaking & Impact, Communication and Community Support.
As far as I can see, there is no common or shared knowledge on Wikimedia initiatives on Minority Languages. I know that at least Wikimedia Venezuela, Wikimedia Argentina and WIkimedia Ukraine were or are engaged in that topic. I've cc'ed Oscar Costero (president of Wikimedia Venezuela), Anna Tores (Executive Director of Wikimedia Argentina) and antanana (Executive Director of Wikimedia Ukraine). Maybe they can provide more information or ideas for that topic.
I would love to see some joint work on Minority Languages and I would be happy if you could help on that. A first step could (or even should) be to collect Wikimedia initiatives on Minority Languages on Meta, for example here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minority_Languages. As soon as some takes the initiative, I can provide my support for that.
What do you think?
Best regards Cornelius
