Dear all,
After my decision to resign, the board of WMCH decided to create an hiring
committee (Ilario Valdelli, Frederic Schutz and me) for hiring two staff,
CAO and CSO.
· The CAO will take care of the RH, administrative and financial
management of the chapter.
· The so-called Chief Scientific Officer will take care of the
relationships with the GLAMs (or scientific partners). In Switzerland, our
reality is that most of our projects are connected with GLAMs, education and
academic institutions. Scientific involves hard and soft sciences in this
case. It means somebody that can manage projects and be accepted in the
academic and educational field and who knows well the wikimedian tools and
culture.
We want to have a complementary team that can manage together our chapter,
and let the board be a board and not waste his tame in operational tasks.
The relationships with the community and WMF as well as the reporting to WMF
will be done by both, but the CSO will coordinate it.
Hope it answers to your questions, and please ask me if there are others !

I don't know exactly the selection of this definition, but I suppose that it
has been due to the "choice" to don't be project manager because any project
has its own project manager.
He is project manager in some cases but for other projects is mainly a
supervisor.
About the projects I would say that WM CH is focusing the efforts mainly in
"scientific" projects. "Scientific" means not only "science" but is
connected with the approach had in the projects (also a project in the
literature may be "scientific").
I think that his effort is mainly focused to give to the projects a
"scientific" approach in order to give to the projects more quality.

Isn't that more program/project management rather than science?

Hello everyone,
My partner and I just started a campaign on Indiegogo.com to raise funds to
buy all remaining WikiReaders and distribute them to schools and kids in
places that don't have internet at no charge to the schools and kids.
The campaign is here:
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-us-distribute-wikireaders-to-kids
The video is here:

Please consider funding the campaign and if you can't fund the campaign,
please share the link with others!
While I am an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation, I am doing this
entirely as a volunteer.
Thanks!

Do others feel that the "letter to US Congress" text at
https://optin.stopwatching.us/ (for which there does not seem to be a
direct URL, sorry) is appropriately worded?
I am far more impressed by the text at http://bestbits.net/prism-nsa/
which Jan Engelmann suggested on the Advocacy Advisors list, and by
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/international-customers-its-time-call…
which urges economic action.
What are the arguments for and agains using project banner space for:
(1) Calls for boycott (Liam Wyatt says this is unlikely, and as a
practical matter I have no illusions but to agree. However, I must
insist to those considering starting or participating in an RFC on the
topic: there is only one way to find out);
(2) Shareholder resolution organisation (Google is immune to
shareholder resolutions, so what is an appropriate alternative in
Google's case -- picketing the triumvirate's residences?);
(3) Calls for divestiture; and
(4) Calls for individual court action on First and Fourth Amendment
grounds, and on the grounds of disproportionate spending and
incarceration relative to other threats to health, safety, and
security than crime?

Hello dear all,
I happened to worked with a few biology interwikis on WikiData today and
saw the taxnomical data on it. Given that WikiData is growing and more
potential would not it be a good idea to merge WikiSpecies data into
WikiData and close WikiSpecies (hope now there will no stones or rotten
tomatos flying for this naive question ;-) )?

Hi,
Since 31 May, China's Great Firewall has blocked the HTTPS connection to all language versions of Wikipedia, by blocking port 443 on two of our IPs. I was also told that service to Wikimedia Commons may be affected. Other projects, such as en.wikisource are not affected by this block (but they may still be subjected to keyword censoring on HTTP).
Compared to the previous short-lived half-day block, this time the block has been in place for a week and as usual no one knows if it will last for long.
Here is an article that has some explanation, some comments, and (their) opinions and suggestions for the Foundation.

But simple encryption that NSA can break at will.
