Help Wikimedia plan for the future: join the Strategic planning process
by Samuel J Klein 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hello, The strategic planning process, which we chatted about over the brainstorming session with Jonathan Zittrain last month, is picking up speed : there are hundreds of proposals in a half-dozen languages at strategy.wikimedia.org and some good discussions about what overal priorities are emerging from them. http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Emerging_strategic_priorities If you're able to help over the next few months, all of these writers and brainstormers need support from researchers, writers, translators and subject experts to identify links between projects, review what's already out there, and translate and compare proposals across languages. Please fill out this form to get involved: http://volunteer.wikimedia.org/volunteer/ And pass this message on! This process is open to all, regardless of their background or type of interest; while only some people will be invited to form core working groups for one of the founding task foces, this is a proper barnraising: all are welcome to form new task forces or contribute in another fashion. Let me know if you have any questions. Warmly, SJ SJ

Tonight @ 8 : thoughts on the future of wikipedia
by Samuel Klein 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

For those of you not on the Meetup list: ============== Wikipedia & the wikimedia foundation have started a year-long strategic planning process. You can see some of it at this new site: http://strategy.wikimedia.org Tonight @ 8pm there's an informal chat at Berkman about the future of wikipedia, this sort of open planning process, and the long-term implications of wiki knowledge creation (e.g., for primary sources and translation databases). JZ and I and a few other opinionated souls will be there. You can join in person, or on the #berkman IRC channel on irc.freenode.net rsvp for the former and I'll save you some Tosci's :-) Be well, SJ prepping for wikimania in buenos aires next week

Impromptu evening of ice-cream next Tuesday?
by Samuel Klein 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Dear Wikiboston, What a month :) The first Wikimania in a spanish country is coming up... in Buenos Aires... during the world tango competitions. The boston-area wikipedia researchers have brought together a good proposal for maintaining a local mirror of the projects for large-scale scripting / stats / analysis [which may inspire IBM to open source their old history flow project]... and are on track to get free hardware and hosting from Harvard/MIT. And I'm excited to have joined the wikimedia board... which currently means a lot of reading. But we didn't have many people turn out for our meetup last week! So I'm thinking of having one last event before wikimania : would people be free next Tuesday evening for Tosci's ice cream and a cool guest of honor from the local free culture community? Let me know. SJ 617 529 4266

Wikipedia to switch to CC-SA license; encourage other sites to follow!
by Samuel Klein 23 May '09

23 May '09

Dear friends, Wikimedia is migrating all of its GFDL content to the CC-SA license: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update Other massively collaborative sites that use the GFDL have only until August 1 of this year to make a similar license switch, under the terms of the latest GFDL license. Other sites and authors that are currently using the GFDL to be intercompatible with Wikipedia content, should plan to switch to CC-SA around June 15 (when the WP license switch is scheduled to take effect). Please share this message widely. The time-constrained part applies only to other wikis and massively-collaborative sites that chose their license primarily to maintain WP compatibility. SJ
