Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Invitation: Dec Global Conversations
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
This is a warm invitation for all of you to attend the next Movement
Strategy Global Conversation, the final one for 2020, on December 5
and 6. Close
to 250 people participated in the previous event on November 21 and 22,
and we would love to continue to have representation from South Asia. Please
register
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeldyqX2vhR53yjUEzmhFg_y8phoCbPy4m3wCaPV4RBOerx1Q/viewform>.
Registration closes on December 4. [1]
What happened already
Nearly 50 communities and affiliates
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Prioritization_events/Table>
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 the
discussions further and asked Wikimedians around the world which of the 45
Movement Strategy initiatives are most important to globally coordinate and
implement in 2021. Take a look at the results
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Global_Conversations/Report>.
[3] What do you think about the priorities? What is missing? What would
make you want to play an active role in implementation?
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,
Mehrdad
