Hi everyone,
At the recent edit-a-thon at SOMArts for "The Black Woman is God" art
exhibition, an attendee asked me for help finding a Bay Area Wikipedia
editor interested in improving articles about U.S. college and
universities, such as adding neutral and verifiable information about
graduation rates. Please reach out directly to Mr. Isaac using the contact
information below if you're interested in this opportunity or have
questions!
> National non-profit higher education organization is seeking a Wikipedian
in Residence to supplement the wiki pages of colleges and universities.
Data comes from the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center from
Data Statistics, and other governmental, academic, financial and news
sources.
> Pay is $15 - $25 dollars per hour, depending on experience. Please
contact Mr. Isaac at: mrisaac.sfcc(a)gmail.com or (415) 827-6480.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] [fellowship] Opportunity for people working on "open
projects that support a healthy Internet."
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi all,
I wanted to pass along an opportunity that I saw earlier today via Twitter:
https://medium.com/read-write-participate/work-in-the-open-
with-mozilla-1410be0a83b2
It sets up people working on "open projects that support a healthy
Internet" with a mentor, a cohort of like-minded people from all over the
world, and a trip to Mozfest, which is a London-based open Internet
conference I've attended/presented at in past years and found really
mind-expanding due to the cross-disciplinary conversations that take place.
You can see previous projects here: https://mozilla.github.
io/leadership-training/round-3/projects/ — it looks like there's quite a
broad cross-section and many of the projects across the movement might be
applicable. The post notes participants will learn about "best practices
for project setup and communication, tools for collaboration, community
building, and running events."
Thank you to Leila for suggesting I pass this along to this listserv. Feel
free to share it broadly.
- Mel

Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Conference 2017: Report and
more learning material published
To: WikimediaAnnounce-l <WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
Three months ago, we welcomed many of you in Berlin to work, discuss and
get inspired at the Wikimedia Conference 2017. We have now published our
extensive and colorful grant report for this event, and you can read it on
Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2017/Report
In the meantime, the documentation of all sessions is complete. Check it
out on Meta as well:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2017/Documentation
While preparing the report, we have also written three learning patterns to
capture and share our experiences with other movement event organizers.
1) “Timing, Communication, Preparation: How to support your event
participants in the best way to get a Schengen Visa”
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/Timing,
_Communication,_Preparation:_How_to_support_your_event_
participants_in_the_best_way_to_get_a_Schengen_Visa
2) “Briefing calls with speakers: A simple way to improve conference
sessions”
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/
Briefing_calls_with_speakers:_A_simple_way_to_improve_conference_sessions
3) “The Buddy Project: Let’s make your conference more newbie friendly!”
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/The_
Buddy_Project:_Let%E2%80%99s_make_your_conference_more_newbie_friendly!
And if you think, “wow, that’s a lot!”: David Saroyan, Visiting Wikimedian
at Wikimedia Deutschland from January until April, wrote a blog post about
his experience in the Wikimedia blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/06/30/why-i-visiting-wikimedian/
We would like to thank all participants, partners, affiliates and experts
who have contributed to making this such a great event, and the Wikimedia
Foundation for their generous support.
Thank you,
Happy reading,
Cornelius, Nicole, Daniela and Wenke
(the WMCON team)
PS: Stay tuned for our upcoming announcement of the Wikimedia Conference
2018 dates.
