I read the Strategic Manifesto with much interest and I want to
congratulate you, João, together with all members of Wiki Movimento Brasil,
on the comprehensive, thorough and very methodological work done.
The evident investment made in creative thinking, researching, analysing
and formulating the document (including in its nice design) produced - in
my view - a good model of a multidimensional strategic work, to learn
from.
I wish you much success in its implementation.
Parabéns!

Congratulations, Wiki Movimento Brasil user group!
This is impressive work, and the presentation and documentation are
exquisite. I appreciate the action points identified in it, and the
implementation plan outlined at this moment.
The extra effort to make it accessible to non-Lusophones is especially
appreciated. I encourage everyone to read this. (I read the on-wiki
version, but looked at the others as well.)
Best wishes for implementing this plan, and I look forward to collaborating
with you on some of it!

Hello all,
Following up on the search for a partner to co-organize the WikidataCon 2023
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/th…>
and after talking to several enthusiastic affiliates and local Wikidata
communities, I am happy to announce, Wikimedia Germany will support
Wikimedia Taiwan and the local Wikidata community in Taiwan in designing
and running the next iteration of the Wikidata conference, which will take
place on October 28-29, 2023.
The Wikidata community in Taiwan
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Taiwan/Wikidata_Taiwan> has been
active for years and regularly organises events in Taiwan, collaborating
with other open source and open data communities. They are particularly
interested in geographical data, human settlements and local languages
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Taiwan>. Wikimedia
Taiwan will provide the administrative coordination and legal framework to
support the Wikidata community in Taiwan.
Many people from different fields are working on Wikidata: Researchers,
cultural institutions, linked open data enthusiasts and more. WikidataCon
2023 attendees will be able to discover how people from other disciplines
interact with Wikidata, learn from them, exchange ideas and find
inspiration.
With this partnership, we’ll try out a hybrid event format. We will hold an
on-site event that will take place in Taipei, welcoming participants from
East Asia. Meanwhile, participants from other regions of the world will be
able to join the conference online. Finally, we’re encouraging other local
Wikidata groups to prepare satellite events and on-site gatherings.
More information and updates will be provided in the upcoming months
on Wikidata:WikidataCon
2023 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2023> and its talk
page. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, feel free to reach the
organizers on the talk page.
We’re extremely happy to be collaborating with the enthusiastic Wikidata
community in Taiwan. We look forward to this new iteration of the
conference.

自從宣佈公開徵求Wikidatacon 2023 的伙伴
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/th…>之後，德國維基媒體協會
(Wikimedia Germany) 與數個興趣小組與在地維基數據社群接洽。我們德國維基媒體協會很高興宣佈我們將與台灣維基媒體協會
(Wikimedia Taiwan) 合作，台灣在地的臺灣維基數據社群(Wikidata Taiwan)將會設計與執行下一輪於 2023
10/28-29 舉行的 Wikidatacon 大會。
近幾年台灣的維基數據社群
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Taiwan/Wikidata_Taiwan>
相當活躍，定期在台灣舉行活動，並且與其他的開源與開放資料社群合作。他們關注行政區劃、在地語言、溪流資料
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Taiwan>。
在地社群，台灣維基媒體協會，則會提供必要的行政協調與法律架構來支援整個社群。
這次合作舉辦會議，將會彰顯東亞這邊進行的維基數據專案，鼓勵跨領域的合作，例如人們在不同的領域之間，如文化機構、教育單位、研究機構等展開合作。
我們攜手合作之下，我們會嘗試混合型式的活動，一場在台北的實體活動，歡迎東亞區域的客人參與，而其他有興趣的人則是能夠線上參與。我們也會鼓勵其他在地維基數據社群舉辦衛星活動與實體聚會。
Wikidata:WikidataCon 2023
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2023>
頁面與討論頁面將會在接下來幾個月提供更多資訊與消息；同時間，如果你有任何問題與回饋意見，你可以在討論頁聯繫主辦方。
我們相當高興能與台灣活躍的維基數據社群共同合作，並且期待下一次新一輪的大會。

Dear friends!
The Wikimedia affiliate Wiki Movimento Brasil is happy to share with the
Movement our Strategic Manifesto for 2023-2025. There is a visual version
in Portuguese [1], English [2] and Spanish [3], as well as an on-wiki
version [4], available in these languages, French and open to further
translations.
This document is the result of a one-year-long collaborative process,
started in November 2021, to redefine our affiliate's priorities and goals.
This process –which reflects how our community and organization have
appropriated the 2030 Movement Strategy– has rested upon a mix of research
and community-consultation methods, and the actual writing has had the
direct involvement of 65 people. Key moments were: a community-wide
research we have led on strategy and governance [5] and the organization of
the first Brazilian Wikimedia Conference, in which we held strategy
discussion sessions with Wikimedians and partners [6].
We have sought to carefully document our coordination, research, production
and writing process, so that our case might eventually serve as a parameter
for other initiatives. The methodology [7] and the lexicon [8] of our
Strategic Manifesto are available for consultation.
We thank everyone who has participated and supported us in this work. We
remain attentive to anyone who would like to share feedback or has
questions about Wiki Movimento Brasil's strategy.
Cheers,
João
