Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] GLAM-wiki contractor opportunity at Wikimedia
Foundation
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> is looking for
a part-time temporary contractor to work remotely for 20 hours a week from
August or September until June 2021. The contractor will support movement
allies, affiliates, and organizers interested in bringing high impact
collections to Wikimedia projects. The hourly rate is up to $55 (USD).
We’d like you to do these things:
-
Mentor a cohort of cultural institutions making large content
contributions to develop shared practices for Structured Data on Commons,
particularly for captions and copyright statements.
-
Take part in monthly office hours for the wider Wikimedia-GLAM community.
-
Analyze and document innovations and workflows, in order to inform and
inspire Wikimedia communities and staff.
-
Actively monitor communications to support the Wikimedia-GLAM community
to stay in touch, network, document, and exchange practices.
-
Facilitate information sharing and product alignment with volunteers
maintaining software for GLAM-Wiki projects, such as OpenRefine, pywikibot,
and Pattypan.
We’re looking for someone with these skills:
-
A practical understanding of using linked open data and broad open
platforms for sharing collections, including active use of Wikidata and/or
Wikimedia Commons.
-
Comfortable wrangling data with some experience scripting and using
command line tools.
-
A good track record of promoting digital skills development or shared
practices through social media, written case studies, conference
presentations, and/or workshop facilitation.
-
Comfort working with product teams and supporting products in an open,
networked ecosystem, through documentation and community consultation.
-
Experience working with a distributed and remote team with people of
diverse skill sets and backgrounds.
-
Strong written and spoken English.
And it would be even more awesome if you have:
-
Proficiency in languages other than English.
-
An existing network of collaborators and contacts in international open
knowledge, cultural heritage communities, or in the Wikimedia community.
-
Experience working with communities that are not based in Europe or
North America.
Please send a cover letter and CV or LinkedIn profile to glam(a)wikimedia.org
by Friday 7 August.

Hello,
Today the Wikimedia Foundation would like to introduce a new community
blog. It's called "Diff" (diff.wikimedia.org) and is a blog by – and
for – the Wikimedia volunteer community to connect and share
learnings, stories, and ideas from across our movement. We'd like to
encourage you to learn more about Diff and how it can help you in
sharing and learning from your fellow Wikimedians.
Everyone is invited to contribute!
https://diff.wikimedia.org/2020/07/14/welcome-to-diff-a-community-blog-for-…
The name “Diff” is in reference to the wiki interface that displays
the difference between one version and another of a Wikipedia page. It
also reflects the “difference” our communities and movement make in
the world every day.
For some background, Diff builds on lessons and experiences from the
Wikimedia Blog, the Wikimedia Foundation News, and Wikimedia Space;
previous posts from these channels are archived on Diff. The channel
is primarily intended for community-authored posts, in which
volunteers can share their stories, learnings, and ideas with each
other.
Diff offers a simple and accessible editorial process, moderated by
Foundation communications staff and open to volunteers, to encourage
participation from all — especially emerging and under-represented
communities. Additionally, content on Diff can be written and
translated into languages to reach a wide audience. Diff also has a
code of conduct and comments can be flagged and moderated.
Still curious to learn more?

প্রিয় সবাই,
আশাকরি সবাই সুস্থ আছেন। গত জুনের আড্ডার আলোচনা অনুসারে প্রতি মাসের প্রথম শনিবার বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার অনলাইন আড্ডা অনুষ্ঠিত হবে। জুলাই মাসের আড্ডাটি আগামী ৪ জুলাই, শনিবার, বাংলাদেশ সময় রাত ৮ ঘটিকা থেকে ১০ ঘটিকা (ভারতীয় সময় সন্ধ্যা ৭.৩০ থেকে ৯.৩০)। আড্ডাটি গুগল মিটে অনুষ্ঠিত হবে।
আড্ডাতে যোগদানের লিংক: https://meet.google.com/afq-wmwb-huk
(আপনার কোন আলোচ্যসূচি বা এজেন্ডা থাকলে আমাকে ব্যক্তিগত মেইলে আড্ডার শুরু হওয়ার পূর্বে উল্লেখ করতে পারেন)
আমরা মূলত বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়া অবদানকারীদের সাথে সাধারণ কুশল বিনিময়সহ, উইকিপিডিয়ার বর্তমান আবস্থা, অবদান রাখা সম্পর্কে, সাম্প্রতিক বিষয়গুলো নিয়ে আলোচনা করবো। নিয়মিত ব্যবহারকারীদের সাথে সাথে নতুন বা বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ায় অবদান রাখতে আগ্রহী যে কাউকে স্বাগতম :)
ধন্যবাদ
নাহিদ সুলতান
