Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Last chance to review the recommendations, next steps
Hi everyone,
We’re in week 4 of community conversations about the movement strategy
recommendations. Thank you to everyone who has already taken part. The
community conversations will continue until Friday, February 21 - you
can get involved on Meta[1] in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi,
Spanish, and Portuguese, strategize with your community or
organization, or send the core team your feedback to
strategy2030(a)wikimedia.org.
This current round of community conversations is the last opportunity
to suggest improvements to the recommendations. They will be finalized
before the end of March, and then published for the movement to
understand them, reflect on what they mean in their project, local, or
thematic context, and move into implementation.
== Movement feedback: what happens next ==
All feedback is being collected, reviewed and analyzed on an ongoing
basis. Here are the next steps after February 21:
* Week commencing February 24: the core team will summarize all the
feedback received in a report. You are welcome to continue commenting
and discussing during this time, but the discussions will not be as
closely facilitated and documented.
* Week commencing March 2: the core team will publish the above report
on Meta to give the movement an opportunity to review the content and
give feedback as to whether it accurately reflects their input. The
closing date for this is March 6. This summary report will then be
finalized and published.
In mid-March, the feedback from the Board of Trustees, movement
conversations and reviewers' input will be considered in the creation
of the final, improved set of recommendations. A rationale for things
that have not been considered will be provided, too. Our aim is to
have the recommendations finalized and published in late March. More
about the actual integration work coming soon.
== Video and podcast about our work; one-pager ==
Members of the core team - Tanveer Hasan, Information and Knowledge
Liaison, and Mehrdad Pourzaki, Information and Knowledge Manager -
recently held a presentation about all the recommendations at the
Wikimedia Foundation All Hands. They provide a quick, concise overview
of every recommendation and also some insight into how each was
developed. Video of the presentation [2] and the presentation slides
[3] are now on Commons.
Jan Ainali has interviewed me for his podcast Wikipedia Podden. I’m
speaking with him about the past, present and future of movement
strategy[4].
The one-pager created by Andrew Lih (User:Fuzheado) has been very
popular. Again, a big thank you to Andrew for putting this together.
In addition to Arabic, English, and Hindi versions, it is now also
available in Farsi [5, 6].
== Meeting notes from the office hours ==
We have published a condensed summary of the meeting notes [7] from
the office hours that were held by the core team on Thursday, January
30. The notes provide an overview of the key points and questions that
were raised during the two calls as well as summaries of the
responses.
== Do you have further questions? ==
Members of the core team will join the upcoming Wikimedia Café on
February 15 [8], which will focus on the movement strategy
recommendations. The Wikimedia Café is a community-led meeting hosted
by User:Pine and User:Bluerasberry, and we are happy to take part and
help answer any questions people may have about the recommendations.
Additionally, if you are looking for more information about any of the
above topics or about the movement strategy in general, take a look at
our FAQ section [9].
Happy weekend,
Nicole

Hello everyone,
Cross-posting here for now; only FYI.
If you are interested in volunteering, please stay tuned! I will send further information in about 2 weeks.
For this year, I am hoping to broaden our scope to encourage more participation by having separate awards for the best in select categories (landscapes, animals, etc).
More information to come!
Yours truly,
Rehman<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rehman>

Subject: [Wikilovesearth] Wiki Loves Earth 2020: A First Call for Local Organizers
Dear colleagues,
The international team is pleased to announce Wiki Loves Earth 2020 — the 7th edition of Wiki Loves Earth international photo contest. As always, it will take place throughout May and June.
This letter is a brief update for potential local organizers of WLE 2020.
(Just a quick reminder: Wiki Loves Earth is a federative contest which is coordinated by an international team but organized in each country by a dedicated local team, typically consisting of volunteers).
The international team will be providing more information about Wiki Loves Earth 2020 within the following weeks, but, overall, the structure of the contest has not changed. If you are familiar with the process, you can start adding your country to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Participat….
If you have not organized Wiki Loves Earth in your country before but are looking to organize one, please check our guide for local organizers (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Organise) and/or email us at wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua<mailto:wle-team@wikimedia.org.ua>
An important thing which you should start thinking about now is financing your contest. If your organization does not have an annual budget with Wiki Loves Earth included, you might want to apply for a rapid grant from the Wikimedia Foundation to cover for the expenses of Wiki Loves Earth in your country (up to 2,000 USD).
In 2020, proposals for Wiki Loves Earth are accepted between March 1st and March 15th; it is strongly advised you submit one within this timeframe (though you can and should start planning it earlier).
Learn more at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Organise#F…
We will try and provide more detailed instructions about preparing your grant application in February.
If you have any questions or need assistance, we would be glad to help! Please email us at wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua<mailto:wle-team@wikimedia.org.ua>
P.S. We sent out a feedback form to all local organizers of Wiki Loves Earth 2019. If you have not received a letter from us, please contact us so we can resend it :)
Best Regards
Anton Protsiuk
Project Manager at Wikimedia Ukraine, member of Wiki Loves Earth international organizing team
