Dear colleagues,
Below is my October activities report & description of upcoming events
1) On Oct.13-14 at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2018 we presented
some of the things we are doing in Russia (FYI: without any WMF grants). See details at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CEE/Newsletter/October_2018/Contents/Russia…
2) On Oct.20 I had a two hour long meeting with the Deputy head of Tatarstan Presidential
Adiministration responsible for internal policy
http://president.tatarstan.ru/eng/apparat/structure?person_id=19792&dep…
who officially invited me to engage Wikimedia Russia and other Wikimedia movement
volunteers to develop "Smart wiki-region" roadmap for regional authorities
throughout the Russian Federation to start learning about the Wikimedia movement and
understanding how partnering therewith could be of mutual interests. This was a follow up
of the Oct.1 meeting with Mintimer Shaimiev
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-October/091151.html, but mainly
around my last year's musings I finally finished translating into English today @
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Frhdkazan/Wiki4RegionalDevt
3) On Oct.23 We have started growing the project on WMRU-wiki at
https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Умный_регион (currently in Russian only), using also
eponymous thread at [wikimedia-ru] mailing list (last message
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-ru/2018-November/004914.html ).
4) In mid-November we are expecting to have a presentation of the project and our domestic
experience
https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Selet_WikiSchool at the large meeting called on
by the ex-President of Tatarstan, State Councillor to the Republic, UNESCO Special envoy
for Intercultural Dialogue Mintimer Shaimiev
http://shaimiev.tatarstan.ru/eng - with
invitation of
* First Deputy Head of the Tatarstan Presidential Administration
(

5) Tomorrow morning I will be meeting with the Vice-Primier - Minister for the ICT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Shaykhutdinov for preliminary discussions, then my
high-school senior Timerkhan
https://tt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Кулланучы:Тимерхан will assist
him the next day at the preparatory meeting with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mintimer_Shaimiev.
6) I didn't yet have time to think in detail about the potential schedule or invited
participants of the first public Wiki-seminar in Tatarstan, meant to expose locals to the
Wikimedia movement and its best practices even if only via the video-conference (which I
mentioned in the previous update), because I am doing this in between of my rather
demanding work and some limited family life. The topic will most likely surface among
other things tomorrow.
regards,
farhad

Hi Farhad,
I'm very impressed with your successes so far.
My main concern is how much of this you seem to be doing by yourself. I
hope that you have a group of people who are collaborating with you so that
you don't feel responsible for doing everything personally, and that you
aren't putting yourself into personal financial difficulty due to the
amount of time that you're spending on Wikimedia activities.
Regarding which people would be good to invite to a conference, I think
that GLAM and educational organizations would be natural partners so I
suggest starting with them.
WMF might be willing to provide you with some advice and/or funding for
GLAM or education related work if you request it, although the wait times
for WMF "Rapid Grants" funding seem to have become lengthy, so I suggest
that if you want funding from that program that you should request it at
least two full months in advance and not rely on receiving it in time for
any particular deadline.
I'm glad to hear that you're participating in Wikimedia CEE and I hope that
the affiliates in that group can provide you with good advice.
Best wishes,
Pine
