Zviedrijas Wikimedia kopā ar UNESCO rīko nelielu rakstu konkursu. Balvas
nav grandiozas, bet pietiekami interesantas:
The first 100 participants that get at least 7 points related to a world
> heritage in Sweden will get the book *World heritage sites in Sweden*.

Dear Wikipedians,
On 18 April, the International Day for Monuments and Sites is celebrated.
On that same day, the first edition of the UNESCO Challenge
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/UNESCO_Challenge> will also take place.
The challenge will last for a full month.
The UNESCO Challenge is a challenge co-arranged by UNESCO, the Swedish
National Heritage Board and Wikimedia Sverige, with the purpose to improve
Wikipedia articles on world heritage sites. UNESCO are going to release a
couple of thousand images (they will be added in this category
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_UNESCO_2017-04>),
and a lot of Open Access texts about the sites, which may be used in the
challenge.
Write in whatever language you like! You find the page for participation
and points registration here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/UNESCO_Challenge/Participants>.
Please help us spread the word to your communities!
Best,
John

Labdien!
Pateicoties jauna dalībnieka iniciatīvai tikām pie telpām, kur sarīkot
sanāksmi, lai nav jāiet uz kafejnīcu (pret ko dažiem ir iebildumi).
Vieta NVO nams Purvciemā (Ieriķu iela 43a), auditorija Nr. 206, 18.
aprīlis, otrdiena, 18.00—21.00.
Vēl nav gatavs konkrēts plāns, ko darīt uz vietas, bet ņemam līdzi savus
datorus un ja nav citu ideju, tad vismaz kopā pastrādāsim. Gaidu arī jūsu
ierosinājumus.
Vairāk šeit (un lapas diskusijā).

Sveiki!
Lai palielinātu kopienas izpratni par to, kas ir Wikimedia Foundation
granti (veidi, kā saņemt finansējumu), apskatīšu mūsu pēdējo grantu, kas
iekļāva WLM 2016 organizēšanu un vikistipendijas.
Tā kā mūsu summas ir samērā nelielas (līdz 2000 USD), tad izmantojām tā
saukto "Rapid grant" programmu, kurā ir vienkāršota pieteikšanās un
ziņošana:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid
Viss sākas ar pieteikumu, ko sagatavojam un iesniedzam.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/UG_LV/WLM_Latvia_2016
Tas tiek izskatīts, to var komentēt arī jebkurš kopienas dalībnieks
(piemēram, norādīt uz pārmērīgiem tēriņiem, neapdomīgiem lēmumiem vai citām
nepilnībām). 1-2 nedēļu laikā pieteikums tiek apstiprināts.
Tālāk seko projekta realizācija, kuras laikā ir jāfiksē visi izdevumi,
jāsaglabā čeki.
Pēc tā seko garlaicīgākā daļa - ziņojuma rakstīšana. Tajā ir jāiekļauj
atskaite par pasākumiem, jāapskata, vai tika sasniegti uzstādītie mērķi un
jāiesniedz finanšu atskaite.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/UG_LV/WLM_Latvia_2016/…
Pēc iesniegšanas ir jāsagaida komentāri, iespējams ziņojums jāpapildina.
Tāpat kā iepriekš, komentēt var jebkurš.
Pagaidām vēl neesam nonākuši līdz aktivitātēm, kur būtu nepieciešamas
lielākas summas, bet līdz ar lielākām summām nāk stingrākas prasības gan
projekta plānam, gan ziņojumam. Ja ir vēlme paskatīt, ko dara citās
kopienās ar mazajiem projektiem, tad var palasīt projektu atskaites:

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message.
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are now being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.[1]
The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation,[2] so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates here: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>.
The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC) and occurring on Meta-Wiki at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>
We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>
Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.
The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.
The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.
* April 7 (00:00 UTC) - April 20 (23:59 UTC): Board nominations
* April 7 - April 20: Board candidates questions submission period
* April 21 - April 30: Board candidates answer questions
* May 1 - May 14: Board voting period
* May 15-19: Board vote checking
* May 20: Board result announcement goal
In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:
* Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
** There are five positions being filled. More information about this election can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_D…>.
* Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
** One position is being filled. More information about this election can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_D…>.
Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.
More information on this year's elections can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017>.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, <board-elections AT wikimedia.org>.
On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Board Election Committee

Sveicināti!
Iespējams kādam no mums tas ir aktuāli. Ja kādam par aktīvāku Vikipēdistu
traucē tas, ka ikdienā nav pieejams dators, ir izveidota sistēma, kurā var
pieteikties uz Wikimedia ofisa vecajiem laptopiem (pieņemu ka 3-5 gadus
veci, bet darba kārtībā). Vairāk pārsūtītajā ziņojumā zemāk.

Subject: Announcing the Hardware donation program
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
The Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to announce a small new program called
the Hardware Donation Program. In a word, it is a program designed to
donate depreciated (but fully working) hardware from the WMF office to
community members who would put it to good use.
The program, including instructions on how to apply, is described on Meta,
here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hardware_donation_program
Please read the information carefully. I especially encourage you to pay
attention to the program's design considerations, which determine most of
the decisions we'll be making.
We currently have approximately 20 laptops ready to be donated.
Applications are welcome.
The upcoming Wikimedia Conference in Berlin (in about two weeks) would be
an excellent opportunity to deliver some of those laptops in person to
approved applications, so if you think you might be interested, I'd
encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
Please also help spread the word about this program, by forwarding this
e-mail to other Wikimedia lists you're on, and posting the link to the
program page on village pumps and *community* (not public) social media
channels or other communication forms you use.
Special thanks to User:Anntinomy from Wikimedia Ukraine, who had the idea
of asking about possible donation of older machines from WMF, and inspired
this program.
Mini-FAQ:
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: WMF's Office IT determines a lifetime for work machines, and regularly
replaces older machines. This creates a stock of older, working machines,
that are available for donation. We can donate them locally to San
Francisco charities, but figure that if we can find low-cost ways to
deliver them to our own community members, that's so much better.
Q: Am I eligible?
A: Read the fine program documentation.
Q: If I'm eligible, am I guaranteed a donated laptop?
A: no.
Q: Once these 20 laptops are donated, will there be others?
A: yes, eventually.
Q: How can you ensure people would use the machines for Wikimedia purposes?
A: We can't. We'll be making a good-effort assessment of the likelihood of
Wikimedia use, and make a decision to donate (or not) the equipment. Once
donated, the equipment no longer belongs to WMF. We encourage, but can't
enforce, reporting on impact achieved using the equipment.
Q: I need a few laptops for my event in two weeks! Can I get them through
this program?
A: No. Read the fine program documentation.
Q: I'm really happy about this!
A: So are we! :)
Q: I'm really angry about this!
A: So it goes.
Q: I have more questions!
A: Hit 'Reply'. :)
Cheers,
Asaf

Dear Wikimedians,
If you are a representative of an Affiliate, committee, or other
organized group in the Wikimedia Movement, please read this email
carefully and forward it to your peers.
I am writing you today in my role as the Movement Strategy Lead for
organized groups (Track A), and would like to encourage you to
actively participate in Wikimedia’s movement strategy process.
Together with you, we would like to find answers to the question “What
do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?”
https://2030.wikimedia.org is the universal start page to the strategy
portal on Meta.
== This is our time! ==
This is the time many of us have been waiting for for years. I would
love to see each and every one of you make your voice heard and take
the chance to shape the future of our movement together.
== Timeline and process ==
The timeline up to Wikimania 2017 is organized in 3 consecutive
discussion cycles that are designed to explore, cluster and sharpen
the strategic direction and define 3-5 focus areas for the movement.
After Wikimania, we will discuss the movement structure, roles, as
well as 3-5-year goals and starting in 2018, organizations will
incorporate the findings into their strategic and annual planning.
Today, we are kicking off cycle 1 which is running until 15 April.
Organized groups will find all relevant information on the Meta page
for Track A.[1]
== Get involved! ==
Last week I reached out to all Chairs and EDs of Affiliates as well as
to active members of other organized groups and committees. While I
have heard from many, I would like to remind everyone to appoint a
discussion coordinator for your group that will act as the linker to
the strategy process.[2][3][4]
As an organized Group, you can invite all your stakeholders to join
your conversation: Board and staff members, members, external partners
and allies as well as members of your communities. Track A is closely
connected to Track B (Individual Contributors)[5], as many organized
Groups have close bonds with their local or thematic communities. We
encourage Track A and Track B coordinators to sync on their plans.
Your conversations can happen on- and offline. To host a conversation,
please read the discussion guide[6] that provides material to prepare,
conduct and document each conversation in each format. Before you and
your peers enter the conversation, please make yourself familiar with
the briefing[7] which provides a high-level overview of what we know
about the future and about our movement today.
I also look forward to seeing many of you at the Wikimedia Conference
in Berlin where we will discuss our future, generate thematic
statements, identify keywords and create thematic clusters of our
ideas. The rough outline of the program will be adjusted in the coming
days.[8]
Let’s make this happen! Please reach out to me with any question or
feedback you might have.
Sincerely,
Nicole

Sveicināti!
Šogad Wikimedia Foundation strādā pie diskusijām ar kopienu par
stratēģiju [1] (noskatieties video) tam, kā tā varētu izskatītie 2030.
gadā. Varam diskutēt, par to, ka esam tikai neliela daļa no lielās
kopienas, bet šī pasākuma mērķis ir uzklausīt katra atsevišķā dalībnieka
domas. Esmu uzņēmies apkopot mūsu kopienas sakāmo un nodot to tālākai
apspriešanai. Aktīvākas darbības pie šī uzsākšu pēc atgriešanās no
Wikimedia konferences (aprīļa sākumā).
Ja nav skaidrs, par ko tad īsti runājam, tad droši vien vienkāršāk ir sākt
ar pavisam mazām lietām, kas būtu jāizmaina (noteikumi, tehnoloģijas (šis
varbūt šoreiz mazāk), iesaistīšanās sabiedriskās aktivitātēs, konkrēti
atbalsta mehānismi). Der izlasīt arī īsu kopsavilkumu (angliski) [2].

Pagājušās nedēļā biju parunāties mums līdzīgi domājošas organizācijas LAKA
raidījumā, nu ir publicēts arī ieraksts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6RjxBZIkgE
Ceru uz kādu sadarbību ar viņiem arī nākotnē. Lai arī viņiem vairāk
interesē atvērtās tehnoloģijas kā tādas, varētu arī uzrīkot kopīgu
pastrādā''sanu pie brīvā satura veidošanas.
