Hello, all. It’s time to strategize!In the words of Katherine Maher the Executive Director of Wikimedia Foundation:“Wikimedia belongs to all of us. We all have a stake in the future of Wikimedia.” However, she asks also, “... Where is Wikimedia going? 16 years ago Wikipedia came onto the scene and was soon joined by other Wikimedia projects <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_projects> and a movement <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement> that formed and continues to grow around the wikis. As an individual editor and also a member of the Wikimedia Ghana User Group, you are part of the movement. Your help is needed to address some questions regarding Wikimedia 2030 – the global discussion to define Wikimedia’s future role in the world in the next 15 years. The key question remains, “Where is the Wikimedia movement going?” Also, “How should projects like Wikipedia change over the next 15 years?” We will work together to summarize the responses I get and record them here: - Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Sources/Wikimedia Ghana User Group Discussion <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group_Discussion> Here’s another document you can take a look at: - Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Outreach/Wikimedia Ghana User Group Discussion <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Outreach/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group_Discussion> For those that made it to Berlin here are some of the thematic statements we arrived at which you can read to give you an idea of what this is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YMl7NiNYtj64abclb762FCkvhAUYmEY_x-3… I was particularly interested in emerging communities, one of which is our user group. Ready to give your opinion? Please send an email to our mailing list Wikimedia-gh(a)lists.Wikimedia.org. Be bold and clear what you want Wikimedia to achieve by 2030 (as a movement – you included). -- Regards, Sandister Tei New Media+Journalism | Wikipedia | Purple People linkedin.com/in/sandister-tei
