Dear Wikimedians,
This is an update on the Wikimedia Clinics[1] pilot:
On June 15th we hosted the first Wikimedia Clinic call. It was well
attended (~25 volunteers, not counting WMF staff), with a good mix of
experience levels and countries of origin. As promised, we publish a
*digest* of the call[1], edited for clarity and brevity, and aiming for
maximal value to readers whether or not they attended the call, with links
and information added after the call to complement the information given
during it.
To accommodate different time zones, we are about to host the second
Wikimedia Clinic in a few hours, June 17th at 8:00am UTC. The meeting link
is [3].
We have also added three more Wikimedia Clinic time slots, which you can
always see in the Clinics page on Meta[1], where the meeting links are
given too. I also paste the times here for your convenience:
Wednesday, June 17th, 08:00am UTC (today, soon!)
Tuesday, June 23rd, 08:00am UTC
Sunday, June 28th, 17:30 UTC
Wednesday, July 1st, 17:30 UTC
We at the Community Development team are already finding this a useful
model, and have already drawn some valuable feedback that will translate
into future work from us. One example is a *movement-facing* Introduction
to the Wikimedia Foundation module (see the digest[2]).
Cheers,
A.
