Dear Members,
We received an email from Nicole Ebber from the Movement Strategy Core Team to inform us that they have chosen Tunis to hold on September 20-22 a "harmonization sprint" where working group members come together to harmonize their groups' recommendations to one coherent set of recommendations for structural changes in our movement.
Nicole suggested in her email to schedule a social activity on the 20th of September to connect with our group during an evening of local food and culture.
The event will be organised by us and funded via a grant that we will submit to the foundation once we assessed the budget related to this social event.
In order to be able to plan this event I would like to invite you to fill this forms as soon as you can if you are interested to attend the event.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqYSN2CWVHV6lHqnnQjJOeAEE2cufQof2…
We expect to have 50 people from Strategy Groups to attend this social event with us.
Also if you have suggestions where to have this social event and enjoy a good local food and culture with our fellow wikimedians please don't hesitate to share your ideas.
The members of the strategy groups will be hosted in the Gammarth El Mouradi Hotel and they don't have a bus to move far from there so if we are going to choose a place not in the hotel area we need to think to hire a bus for them or ask the strategy group to do that by their own.
I think that maybe it will be easy if we can plan something near to the hotel e.g. Bab Bahr, Yuka, Jobi .... we can contact these places to privatise an area. Nevertheless if you have other ideas please share them.
Also if someone from the group would like to take the lead to organise this event, please raise your hand !
For the members that are not in Tunis, they are of course welcomed and we will make sure to take into account the expenses related to their transportation to come to Tunis from their Tunisian cities.
Final comment: since the event is in the evening (~ 20:00) maybe we (Tunisian members) can gather before that to discuss the bylaws shared recently.
About the "harmonization sprint"
Several wikimedians from different countries and organisations will be present at this event where they will try to harmonize their groups' recommendations to one coherent set of recommendations.
We expect around ~40 people from the working group, the core team, the WMF and external support to participate in that event so a total of around 60 people.
The event is invitation only thus the purpose to have a separate social event with our group.
The Strategy Core Team considered several cities and they decide to hold this event in Tunis as they kept very good souvenirs from WikiIndaba last year and this is an honor for our country and our group.
Since some attendees need a visa, the organisers of the event asked CLibre to provide some invitation letters which CLibre did promptly (Thanks CLibre!).
ThanksYamen
Bonjour,
Nous avons eu vos coordonnées par madame Amélie Tsaag Valren.
Nous sommes une association de surdoués nommée Mensa, association présente dans plus de 100 pays, et représentant plus de 150.000 membres dans le monde. Et une centaine de membres, environ, en Tunisie. Dont une majorité à Sousse et Monastir, et les autres à Tunis. L'association poursuit des objectifs à vocation humaniste.
Le dimanche 8 décembre aura lieu notre premier colloque, il se déroulera à Sousse. Nous allons, à cette occasion, mettre en place des partenariats. Et en particulier nous souhaiterions nous rapprocher des équipes de Wikipédia. Il est d'ores et déjà prévu, aussi, que nous vous assistions lors de votre Wikiconvention francophone qui aura lieu en 2020 en Tunisie.
Voici un apperçu de ce que nous aimerions présenter lors de notre colloque : http://www.mensa.tn/colloque/ (certains intervenants n'ont pas encore confirmé leur présence).
En espérant avoir touché votre curiosité et votre intérêt,
Bien cordialement
Franck, secrétaire générale de Mensa Maghreb (Tunisie, Algérie, Maroc)

Hello all,
I will be presenting at the Wiki Conference North America on African-North American partnerships. In order to make a meaningful presentation that will serve as a precursor for this proposed partnership or collaboration, I have created a short survey to be able to understand the various Usergroups/Communities on the African continent and their needs.
Please, spare 5 minutesof your time to fill this survey for your Usergroup/community.I will appreciate if is completed before November 7.
Regards
Raphael Berchie

Proposals
To: <african-wikimedians(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
The 2020 Community Wishlist Survey
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020> is now
open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community
Tech <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech> team should work on
over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the
deadline on November 11, or comment on other proposals to help make them
better. To submit proposals, you can check out the guidelines on the survey
page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#Guidelines>.
This year, we’ll only be accepting wishes for non-Wikipedia content
projects with no dedicated teams (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote,
Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews). To learn
more about the new format, we invite you to visit the survey page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#New_format_f…>.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!

Hi all,
I know it is too early to discuss WikiConvention, but I just got an idea:
How about we organize an online editing contest, WikiLovesTunis or
WikiLoveTunisia, similar to WikiLovesYerevan
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Yerevan_International_edit-a-thon>
that happened last year, during which participants wrote articles about
Yereva related topics, and in our case Tunis maybe, and then the top 10
contributors got a free flight and accommodation for a weekend in Yerevan.
In our case, we can give the top 3 for example scholarships to participate
in WikiConvention.
The project will cost nothing apart of the scholarships that will be part
of the the funds for the convention.
What do you think of the idea? I remember the output of the contest for
Yerevan, and it was amazing: I think around 5000 articles in maybe 50
languages in a month!! When it comes to free trips, people get very excited
to edit and write.
I can work on it in January if the idea is accepted.
Have a nice day,
Houssem

Chers amis,
Je vous remercie pour vos efforts. Je me demande si quelqu'un peut récupérer un ordinateur de la part de Mr. Asaf (WMF) pour moi durant WikiArabia. J'en aurai absolument besoin pour mes projets Wikimedia

Bonjour à tous,
Lors de la dernière Wikiconvention francophone, Nassima Chahboun a présenté un projet développé au Maroc et appelée WikiKsour (voir https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patrimoine_du_Maroc_et_Wikimédia.we… <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patrimoine_du_Maroc_et_Wikim%C3%A9d…>). J’aurais aimé ajouter une pierre à l’édifice en créant une liste exhaustive des ksour de Tunisie sur Wikipédia et sur Wikidata.
Il semble qu’il existe un ouvrage de référence sur le sujet, Les Ksour du Sud tunisien de Herbert Popp et Abdelfettah Kassah, qui est référencé ici : http://www.stadtgeo.uni-bayreuth.de/fr/publications/ksour/index.html <http://www.stadtgeo.uni-bayreuth.de/fr/publications/ksour/index.html>. Il peut être commandé depuis l’Allemagne mais je n’ai pas (encore) reçu de réponse à mon email. Il semble également pouvoir être commandé auprès de l'auteur tunisien ou en vente dans quelques librairies du pays. Toutefois, la commande ne peut être livrée qu’à une adresse en Tunisie.
Ma question : quelqu’un pourrait-il commander ce livre pour moi auprès de l’auteur ou le trouver dans l’une des libraries mentionnées sur le lien ci-dessus ? Il va de soit que je ferais un virement bancaire à l’intéressé(e) pour couvrir l’achat de l’ouvrage et sa livraison postale vers la Suisse.
Merci d’avance !
Mourad
