Subject: [All-affiliates] Global Conversations Dec. 5+6 - registration
information
To: <affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <all-affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
Close to 250 people participated in virtual Global Conversations that took
place on November 21 and 22. The discussion continues on December 5 and 6
and we warmly invite you to take part. Registration is open until December
4. [1]
What happened already
Nearly 50 communities and affiliates shared their priorities in advance and
can continue to do so. [2] Based on those priorities, the first set of
events on Nov. 21+22 took discussions further by asking Wikimedians from
around the world which of the 45 Movement Strategy initiatives are most
important to globally coordinate and start implementing in 2021. For some
of the initiatives, implementation means further discussions and scoping.
Take a look at the results. [3] What do you think about the priorities?
What is missing? What would make you want to play an active role in
implementation?
Coordination will vary from one initiative to another. Some can be
implemented on their own, some will involve diverse communities and
affiliates of different sizes working together, and others may require
support from the Wikimedia Foundation.
What happens next
During the next set of discussions on December 5 and 6, we will focus on
the top global priorities and start discussing what implementation can
actually look like. What are the steps needed to put Strategy into action?
Everyone’s invited to help enrich these conversations. Since implementation
will be different from one context to another, we need as many voices as
possible included to create a movement-wide implementation plan.
Based on the feedback, we would like to continue the great momentum of the
first set of events and will provide social opportunities for Wikimedians
to connect. We will also provide space to hold short lightning talks [4] on
how to implement certain initiatives. If you have ideas, please share them
with others.
If you are unable to attend, we will share the results and raw data on Meta
so we can still benefit from your input.
What is provided
As for the first set of events, we will provide live interpretation in
Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Russian, and Spanish. In the
registration form, please let us know if you require language support as
well as internet data package upgrade or childcare for the duration of the
event.
Familiarize yourself with the initiatives already prioritized, register
early, and continue the conversation on December 5 and 6. See you there.
On behalf of the Support Team,
Kaarel

Hello Librarians and library lovers,
>From January 15th to February 5th 2021 we will be joining together once
again to continue providing reliable and factual information to the world
through Wikipedia. You can participate in #1Lib1Ref by simply adding a
citation to Wikipedia's content to improve the quality and reliability for
the millions of users of the platform!
Since we are celebrating the “human” part of the Wikimedia movement for
Wikipedia 20: we are focused this year on how every single human (librarian
or archivist, reference professional, and scholar) can add one more
reference to Wikipedia. This year has highlighted how important Wikipedia’s
citations are for access to reliable and unbiased information. The
#1lib1ref campaign is a great way to strengthen Wikimedia community
relationships with the library, information and research professionals who
create that knowledge and share it with the world.
How can you engage?
We invite you to engage in three ways:
-
Make an edit - Participate globally and virtually by adding citations to
Wikipedia.[1]
-
Organise - Lead a community activity or event in your library, country
or region.[2]
-
Amplify - Share and just keep sharing the campaign within your networks
and help us reach out to library and research communities around the
world.[3]
In light of the pandemic, we strongly encourage virtual activities and
advise everyone to follow the WHO health guidelines.[4] If restrictions
have been lifted in your country and are considering organising in-person
events, kindly follow the Wikimedia COVID risk assessment for events.[5]
Ensure all your contributions are recorded by using the #1Lib1Ref hashtag
in your edit summary. This is very important for us to monitor the reach
and success of the initiative.
Please tell your library, researcher and knowledge-loving friends about
#1Lib1Ref in January. We need everyone's help to make Wikipedia more
reliable!
You can join the 1Lib1Ref community via the Libraries (
libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org), and 1Lib1Ref (1lib1ref(a)lists.wikimedia.org)
mailing lists, or by joining the Wikimedia + Libraries User Group.[6]

Cheers,
Felix Nartey

Dear friends,
Apologies for cross-posting.
In 2020, one of the worst health and economic crises in a generation has
fuelled new hope for collaboration and openness—no one can confront these
challenges alone. Urgency demands even greater accountability and
transparency in machine decision making, data sharing, and privacy.
The call for proposals
<https://www.mozillafestival.org/en/get-involved/proposals/> for *MozFest
2021* is now open. We are inviting technologists, researchers, medics,
legislators, investors, and global citizens to launch, empower, discuss,
and celebrate projects and communities that keep collaboration,
transparency, and inclusion at their core.
For a healthy society and trustworthy AI, we need your voice, perspective,
and brainpower at the MozFest 2021 *Openness Space.*
Submit a session today
<https://www.mozillafestival.org/en/get-involved/proposals/>. Let's work
together at MozFest 2021!
Want to learn more? Please email me at sadik(a)mozillafestival.org
Best regards.
