I would urge caution at reading too much into the A.T.Kearney study. It is
quite plausible that companies in trouble may decide they need a
turn-around specialist, almost certainly an outsider. While some will
succeed, companies in trouble are almost certainly going to underperform
those that were not in trouble. Thus, hiring a homegrown CEO may be a
result of good management, not a cause.

Hello all,
The ED search steering group has been soliciting input for a few weeks, and
while a few people were fairly vocal about what they were looking for in a
new ED, we decided that we needed more input from a broader range of people
and we want to hear more from our emerging communities. To that end, we
have written and published a survey [1] intended to help us both validate
and prioritize the good feedback we have already received.
Our survey is currently open in the top 10 wiki languages. A sample of
editors from various languages have been invited to participate and we are
also sending an invitations to anyone here and through our networks. Please
participate in the survey and help us to shape the new ED’s profile.
On behalf of the ED search steering group
Alice.

Hi all,
Great news!
Freedom of panorama has been voted today in the Belgian parliament.
A mayority voted in favour of freedom of panorama, including commercial use.
Soon images of artworks and modern buildings in Belgium can be restored on
Commons.
But first the law needs to be published in the Staatsblad, and ten days
later it will be official, but that is just a formality. (Will keep you
updated on that.)
Article in the news in Dutch:
http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/politiek/1.2685852
In the past weeks, as well as since the campaign in Europe last year, we
from Wikimedia Belgium have worked hard on this subject and communicated
with the members of the parliament informing what this subject means for
Wikipedia.
With the founding of Wikimedia Belgium in 2014, this subject was a priority
for us.
Thanks all for the support!
Let's get this implemented elsewhere too!
Greetings from Belgium,
Romaine
Due to a programming error, users who logged in to a Wikimedia project
wiki between 2016-06-07 and 2016-06-14 may have had the "Keep me logged
in (for up to 30 days)” setting inadvertently selected, despite the
checkbox not having been checked. In order to prevent unauthorized
access to user accounts in instances of shared computer use, the
Foundation is resetting user sessions for all users who logged in within
the aforementioned timeframe. Users who have their session reset will
need to log in again.
We apologize for the inconvenience this causes, but we want to reduce
the possibility of unintended access to user accounts by unauthorized
parties.
Additional information may be found at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_session_reset.

The StrepHit pipeline (codebase) is ready, while the project is ongoing.
We are not there yet, and will publish performance values in the final
report.

Sure, this will be done in the final report.
Up to now, you can have a look at the midpoint report summary:

Hello everyone
WikiAfrica has recently started a new project, the Wikipack Africa.
The project amalgamates:
* the coding of a software, WikiFundi, that provides an off-line editing
environment that mimics the Wikipedia environment. The software will be
made available in French and English.
* the creation of action packs for use by local Wikimedia chapters, user
groups or isolated individuals in Africa, and
* a Wikipedia Writing Contest to be run in African Schools,
#WikiChallenge African Schools
It will roll out in two phases :
Phase 1 involves the creation of the WikiPack Africa. WikiPack Africa is
a digital kit located via a local network device (Raspberry PI). The
local network device will provide access to an off-line editing platform
that mimics Wikipedia, and provides related materials and additional OER
resources. The WikiPack Africa will both facilitate the outreach work of
Wikimedia chapters, User Group and individuals, and encourage the growth
of digital skills and content contribution by teachers and students
across Africa. The pack allows for ongoing training and contribution
even when technology, access and electricity outages fail or are not
available at all.
The WikiPack Africa delivered to users will comprise two Raspberry PIs
and some offline materials (posters, leaflets, pull-up banner,
tee-shirts, etc.). The WikiPack will be delivered to several Wikimedia
User Groups located in Africa end of 2016. A Call for Interest will be
made to identify which groups will receive the Packs (8 countries will
be covered as part of the pilot launch).
The project has been conceptualised and conceived by Isla and myself
after seeing how frustrating limited access to internet or even to
electricity could be when trying to participate to Wikipedia.
The WikiPack Africa is primarily meant for individuals and groups
wanting to implement outreach projects and:
* work with galleries, libraries, archives and museums to bring cultural
content online;
* work with education partners to get educators and students contribute
or better understand Wikimedia projects;
* more generally, organise edit-a-thons, photo hunts, workshops, press
conferences, etc. to promote Wikimedia projects.
The #WikiChallenge African Schools (Phase 2) will use the WikiPack
Africa to facilitate an entertaining, powerful, collaborative and
interactive content creation competition between schools in Sénégal,
Côte d'Ivoire, Guinée, Niger, Tunisia, Madagascar, and Cameroon
(countries may change...). The challenge will run early 2017.
The full project is run in partnership with Wikimedia CH and the Orange
Foundation. It will be primarily implemented by Florence, Isla and
Emmanuel Engelhart (Kelson, from Kiwix) from May 2016 until summer 2017.
The project proposal, its documentation and its outcomes will be under a
CC BY SA 4.0 licence.
---------
CALL for SUPPORT
Current next steps include in particular
* working on the WikiFundi software. This shall be lead by Kelson and
part of the development should be done during the Kiwix Hackhaton prior
to Wikimania. If you are interested to help, and simply interested to
better understand what is planned, please get in touch;
* working on the content that will be put on WikiFundi.
We will NOT provide the entirety of Wikipedia on the plateform, but only
a mix of "presentation material", some "help:pages", "showcase of best
articles" and a large % of templates currently available on Wikipedia.
If you want to help or provide insightful input, please get in touch
(with me), by email or on the wiki talk page or during Wikimania.
We start working on the English content first. My current challenge is
to identify the most relevant help pages... and adapt them to this
offline editing environnement.
