Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Selection of winning bid for Wikimania 2014: London

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Forrester <jdforrester(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, May 1, 2013 at 11:10 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Selection of winning bid for Wikimania 2014: London To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" < wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org" < wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedians, On behalf of the Wikimania 2014 selection Jury, after review and evaluation of the two final bids, we have awarded the conference to London. Congratulations to the London team, and to the Arusha team who also put forward a solid effort. We were concerned this year to see that both bidding teams put forward proposals which were costly and complicated, in contrast to the Wikimania tradition. The Jury briefly considered re-opening the bid for other teams, and asked both bids to present a simpler core budget and lower-cost options for attendees. The London team took our comments to heart and decreased their core budget to 20% of their initial proposal, and have committed to finding ways to reduce the cost for community attendees. We encourage future bidding teams to not give up their dreams, to keep aiming for the stars, but at the same time, to not forget the spirit of Wikimedia: a volunteer movement that makes creative use of limited resources. We look forward to the proposed Wikimania Committee setting out clearer guidelines on these principles. The process to bid for hosting Wikimania requires a substantial time investment, and we thank both candidate teams for their submissions and hard work. Yours, James Forrester Moderator, Wikimania 2014 Jury For the Wikimania 2014 Jury -- James D.

visit from Wiki Project Med...
by Lane Rasberry 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Hello Wikimedia Bangladesh, I have contacted a few of you directly and I am sorry that I have not contacted others of you, but thank you for meeting me when I was in Bangladesh in February. I appreciate the interest that you all have in Wikipedia and I want to find ways to support the Bangladesh chapter and development of Bangla Wikipedia more. As I told some of you, I develop health articles on Wikipedia. WikiProject Medicine is one of the most active community collaborations on Wikipedia, and one of the most active Wikipedians in this group is "Doc James" Heilman (user:jmh649), who is an emergency room physician in Canada. Among other things, Doc James is an organizer for the "WikiProject Medicine Translation Task Force" and a member of a proposed thematic organization to support Wikipedians developing health articles, Wiki Project Med. The Translation Task Force seeks to translate health articles from English Wikipedia into every other language, and especially for Wikipedia projects with few articles. I think you all are aware that Bangla Wikipedia is one of the smaller communities despite Bangla being one of the most spoken languages in terms of numbers of speakers, so many people are interested in seeing Bangla Wikipedia get more and better articles. I am writing today because Doc James would like someday to visit Bangladesh and promote the development of health articles in Bangla Wikipedia, and to talk about Wikipedia in general with doctors, medical students, and health organizations. Two of his concerns would be getting local promotion for any talks or workshops he would give, and also his personal safety if there is political unrest in the streets. James will be in the region soon for only a day, and he could visit Dhaka. If he were in Dhaka for a day, could someone at Wikimedia Bangladesh arrange for him to be invited to give a talk at a university or medical school? Thanks for your attention. I myself hope to visit Dhaka again and work more closely with you all and other Wikipedians. yours, -- Lane Rasberry 206.801.0814 lane(a)bluerasberry.com

Fwd: [Wikimedia Announcements] Announcement *please read*
by Belayet Hossain 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sue Gardner <sgardner(a)wikimedia.org> Date: 28 March 2013 04:00 Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Announcement *please read* To: Wikimedia Announce Mailing List <WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Hello Wikimedia community members, This is not an easy e-mail to write, and it’s been a very hard decision to make. But I’m writing to tell you that I’m planning to leave my position as the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation. My departure isn’t imminent -- the Board and I anticipate it’ll take at least six months to recruit my successor, and I’ll be fully engaged as Executive Director all through the recruitment process and until we have a new person in place. We’re expecting that’ll take about six months or so, and so this note is not goodbye -- not yet. Making the decision to leave hasn’t been easy, but it comes down to two things. First, the movement and the Wikimedia Foundation are in a strong place now. When I joined, the Foundation was tiny and not yet able to reliably support the projects. Today it's healthy, thriving, and a competent partner to the global network of Wikimedia volunteers. If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t feel okay to leave. In that sense, my leaving is a vote of confidence in our Board and executive team and staff --- I know they will ably steer the Foundation through the years ahead, and I’m confident the Board will appoint a strong successor to me. And I feel that although we’re in good shape, with a promising future, the same isn’t true for the internet itself. (This is thing number two.) Increasingly, I’m finding myself uncomfortable about how the internet’s developing, who’s influencing its development, and who is not. Last year we at Wikimedia raised an alarm about SOPA/PIPA, and now CISPA is back. Wikipedia has experienced censorship at the hands of industry groups and governments, and we’re --increasingly, I think-- seeing important decisions made by unaccountable non-transparent corporate players, a shift from the open web to mobile walled gardens, and a shift from the production-based internet to one that’s consumption-based. There are many organizations and individuals advocating for the public interest online -- what’s good for ordinary people -- but other interests are more numerous and powerful than they are. I want that to change. And that’s what I want to do next. I’ve always aimed to make the biggest contribution I can to the general public good. Today, this is pulling me towards a new and different role, one very much aligned with Wikimedia values and informed by my experiences here, and with the purpose of amplifying the voices of people advocating for the free and open internet. I don’t know exactly what this will look like -- I might write a book, or start a non-profit, or work in partnership with something that already exists. Either way, I feel strongly that this is what I need to do. I feel an increasing sense of urgency around this. That said, I also feel a strong sense of responsibility (and love!) for the Wikimedia movement, and so I’ve agreed with the Board that I’ll stay on as Executive Director until we have my successor in place. That’ll take some time -- likely, at least six months. Until then, nothing changes. The Wikimedia Foundation has lots of work to do, and you can expect me to focus fully on it until we have a new Executive Director in place. I have many people to thank, but I’m not going to do it now -- there’ll be time for that later. For now, I’ll just say I love working with you all, I’m proud of everything the Wikimedia movement is accomplishing, and I’m looking forward to our next six months together. Jan-Bart’s going to write a note in a couple of minutes with information about the transition process. We’ll be hosting office hours this weekend as well, so anybody with questions can ask them here or turn up to talk with us on IRC.
