Dear all,
I am happy to inform you that the Affiliations Committee has approved
the
recognition of a Wikimedia User Group today: Wikimedians of Nepal.
Please join me in welcoming this new group into the fold of Wikimedia entities, and let's celebrate their success and hard work as
Wikipedia
turns eleven in Nepal!
== Wikimedians of Nepal ==
Wikimedians of Nepal <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Nepal
is a
group of enthusiastic Nepali Wikimedians working towards developing
and
promoting Wikimedia projects in Nepal. They've been actively working
to
help expand the community, launch projects in more languages of Nepal
and
promote and support the existing ones.
The group is working towards chapterhood, and have a good chance of attaining that status this year. Granting them user group recognition allows the movement to express its appreciation for their hard work
even
while they are working on the bureaucratic aspects of meeting the requirements of chapterhood. The timing is fortuitous in that the
group
is
going to mark the 11th anniversary of Wikipedia in a Nepali language
on 3
June, next Monday.
Ganesh, the group's interim president has been invited to this year's
Milan
conference, where he gave a comprehensive overview of the group's
history,
its projects (including a successful 'wikiwomen" programme) and its ambitions. The slides are at:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/WMNepal_WMC_2013.pdf
The Affiliations Committee's recognition<
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/Wikimedian...
is
valid until 28 May 2014, or until they are recognized as a chapter.
== Wikimedia User Groups ==
Wikimedia User Groups are one of the three new types of affiliations created last year to empower volunteers wanting to conduct offline
work
and
provide them recognition from the Wikimedia movement.
User group status is meant to be an easy form of affiliation, where
the
main requirements are an agreed goal, plans for offline work, at
least
three people participating and a public wiki page with all the
relevant
information).
Under the movement roles recommendations<
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_affiliation_models/User_Groups%3E
, user groups are to be recognized in a quick and easy process
directly
by
the Affiliations Committee, for a fixed, renewable time-period and
they
are
to enjoy limited trademark use and simplified access to grants.
