A paper about Wikidata is accepted in AICCSA 2017 ANLP Workshop
by abdelwaheb turki 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Dear Mr., I thank you for your answer. Our paper entitled "Using Wikidata to create a multilingual multidialectal dictionary for Arabic dialects" has been accepted for AICCSA 2017 ANLP Workshop. This conference will be held in Hammamet next October and will be attended by computer scientists from all over the world. The paper will be excellent to show to these scientists how Wikidata can be useful for the Natural Language Processing of the Arabic dialects. However, the paper should be adjusted first before the publication. Also, I have to find funding to attend the conference. You can find the paper attached with this email. If you would like to see the comments of the reviewers as well as the notification email, I can send it to you. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki

Fwd: [African Wikimedians] Wiki Indaba - Letter to Katherine (L2K)
by Sami Mlouhi 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Bonjour, La communauté africaine et Katherine Maher ont parlé de nous et de WikiIndaba, tout le monde semble excité et veut participer à cette édition de WikiIndaba. Et nous, sommes-nous prêts à cette échéance ? Cordialement, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Katherine Maher <kmaher(a)wikimedia.org> Date: 2017-08-12 15:00 GMT+01:00 Subject: Re: [African Wikimedians] Wiki Indaba - Letter to Katherine (L2K) To: Felix Nartey <flixtey(a)gmail.com> Cc: Mailing list of the Wikimedia Conference 2017 < wmcon17(a)listen.wikimedia.de>, Mailing list for African Wikimedians < african-wikimedians(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List < wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wiki Indaba 17 Participants < wiki-indaba-17-participants(a)googlegroups.com> Dear all, >From Wikimania 2017 in Montreal, please find my formal response to the L2K, in English and French. You can also find a copy on Meta, on the same page as the original L2K. We look forward to meeting you all soon in Cape Town in 2018. Yours, Katherine [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2017/Letter_to_ Katherine_(L2K) *Response to the L2K* Dear friends, Today, on the first day of Wikimania, I reflect on who is not here with us in Montreal. The reasons are familiar: denied visas, limited time away from work, the prohibitive cost of travel. However familiar the reasons, they never cease to be frustrating: they are an ever-present reminder of the challenges so many members of our global movement face. In particular I am compelled to note how few of our colleagues from our African community are here with us this weekend. The past year has demonstrated the enthusiasm, focus, and energy of our African communities, and your rising voices in our global Wikimedia movement. When you are not with us, we feel your absence. The Letter to Katherine is a vivid manifestation of the emerging opportunity for our Wikimedia communities across Africa. It is a frank acknowledgement of the unique circumstances in which many of our African communities conduct their work. But in its existence, crafted together at WikiIndaba, it is also a powerful reminder of the tremendous accomplishments the community has already achieved. Already, we see the influence of the African communities on our broader community. The L2K set an important precedent for the global movement, including the drafting of the Carta de Buenos Aires [1] from the Iberocoop community. And while we have been at work, so have you. Your continued achievements give support to the momentum of the community — just last month, Wikimedians in Cameroon formed a new User Group. We know that Wikimedia has a bright future across Africa. The diversity of languages and cultures, the richness of your histories, and the creativity and ambition of your nations: these all represent remarkable opportunities for our movement to thrive and grow. We also know that embracing these opportunities means changing some of the ways we do things. We know that for Wikimedia to thrive across Africa, we must embrace Africa in Wikimedia. We must listen to you, learn from you, and consider how we grow together. I wanted to share, briefly, a few instances with you of how the L2K has already guided the Foundation’s efforts. I hope you will accept these as assurance of our commitment to the African community, and as an invitation to continued conversation, while recognizing we have more work to do: *We are seeking new ways to support the capacity of African communities. *We currently provide grants for training and supporting new and emerging Wikimedians in Africa. In the fiscal year 2016-2017, we awarded 24 rapid grants, and continued funding the Project Grants program which supports projects such as the pan-African Wiki Loves Africa, South Africa’s Joburgpedia, and Nigeria’s “Wikipedian in Residence” program, to mention a few. Beyond these grants, we are committed to opening new forums for members to learn communication, technical, and other skills. *We are facilitating peer support. *We agree with you that the best resource is often a fellow Wikimedian, and we want to support members in identifying experienced peers. Many in the African community have gathered through the movement strategy process, and we provided support for workshops and salons led by affiliates in Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, and soon in Nigeria. The movement strategic direction will guide the Wikimedia Foundation’s strategy through 2030; and we are grateful that it not only reflects the voices of our African communities, but aspires to continue and deepen these opportunities for connection. *We are offering resources on how to strengthen partnerships. *We offered partnerships workshops and capacity building at Wikimedia Conference in Berlin. For Africa specifically, we are continuing our regularly scheduled, quarterly “office hours,” with the Foundation’s Partnerships and Global Reach team available to answer questions, share updates, and explore new opportunities. We recognize that 2018 will be Africa’s year in the Wikimedia movement. One year from now, we will gather together in South Africa, for the second African, and first sub-Saharan African, Wikimania. This will be an opportunity to bring the global movement to what is currently (but certainly not for long) the continent’s only chapter. We will also visit Tunisia, for the first WikiIndaba in North Africa. I am deeply excited for what the year will bring, and already looking forward to all of the achievements we will have to celebrate together at Wikimania in one year’s time.. I am grateful to you, the African community, for sharing your voice and your experiences. Today at Wikimania, I pledge to continue our commitment to the African community. The Wikimedia movement is for everyone — readers and editors, activists and archivists, newcomers and experts, from all geographies, cultures, and languages. The African community is so important to the movement, and I am inspired by the work and thought you dedicate to shaping our future. With my great regards and appreciation, Katherine https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iberocoop/Carta_de_Buenos_Aires ~~~~ *French translation:* Chers amis, Aujourd'hui, en ce premier jour de Wikimania, j’ai une pensée pour tous ceux qui ne sont pas avec nous, ici, à Montréal. Les raisons sont familières : refus de visas, temps restreint en dehors du travail et coût prohibitif du voyage. Malgré la familiarité des raisons, ils ne cesseront jamais d'être frustrants : ils sont un rappel immuable des défis auxquels font face tant de membres de notre mouvement mondial. En particulier, je ne peux que constater que trop peu de nos collègues de la communauté africaine sont ici avec nous cette fin de semaine. L'année écoulée a mis en relief l'enthousiasme, l'attention et l'énergie de nos communautés africaines et vos voix montantes dans notre mouvement Wikimedia mondial. Lorsque vous n'êtes pas avec nous, nous ressentons votre absence. La lettre à Katherine est une manifestation vivante de l'opportunité émergente pour nos communautés de Wikimedia en Afrique. C'est une reconnaissance franche des circonstances uniques dans lesquelles beaucoup de nos communautés africaines mènent leur travail. Mais dans son existence, modelée de façon participative dans WikiIndaba, elle est également un rappel puissant des réalisations énormes que la communauté a déjà atteint. Déjà, nous voyons l'influence des communautés africaines sur notre communauté élargie. Le L2K a constitué un précédent important pour le mouvement mondial, y compris la rédaction de la Carta de Buenos Aires [1] de la communauté Iberocoop. Et tandis que nous agissions, vous avez aussi travaillé. Vos réalisations continues confirment l'élan de la communauté. Le mois dernier même, les wikimédiens au Cameroun ont formé un nouveau groupe d'utilisateurs. Nous savons que Wikimedia a un brillant avenir en Afrique. La diversité des langues et des cultures, la richesse de vos histoires et la créativité et l'ambition de vos nations : elles représentent, toutes, des occasions remarquables pour que notre mouvement prospère et grandisse. Nous savons aussi que l'adoption de ces opportunités signifie changer certaines façons de faire les choses. Nous savons que pour que Wikimedia prospère en Afrique, nous devons intégrer l'Afrique dans Wikimedia. Nous devons vous écouter, apprendre de vous et considérer comment nous évaluer ensemble. Je voulais partager brièvement quelques exemples de la façon dont le L2K a déjà mené les efforts de la Fondation. J'espère que vous les accepterez comme gage de notre engagement envers la communauté africaine et comme invitation à un dialogue continue, tout en reconnaissant que nous avons plus de travail à faire : *Nous recherchons de nouveaux moyens de soutenir la capacité des communautés africaines. *Nous offrons actuellement des subventions pour la formation et le soutien de nouveaux wikimédiens émergents en Afrique. Au cours de l'exercice financier 2016-2017, nous avons attribué 24 subventions rapides et nous avons continué de financer le programme Project Grants qui soutient des projets tels que le panafricain Wiki Loves Africa, le sud-africain Joburgpedia et le nigérian programme « Wikipédien en résidence » pour en mentionner quelques-uns. Au-delà de ces subventions, nous nous engageons à ouvrir de nouveaux forums pour que les membres apprennent les compétences de communication, techniques et autres. *Nous facilitons le soutien par les pairs. *Nous sommes d'accord avec vous que la meilleure ressource est souvent un wikimédien chevronné, et nous voulons aider les membres à identifier des pairs expérimentés. De nombreux membres de la communauté africaine se sont rassemblés dans le cadre du processus de la stratégie du mouvement et nous avons apporté un soutien aux ateliers et aux salons dirigés par des affiliés en Côte d'Ivoire, en Égypte, et bientôt au Nigeria. La direction stratégique du mouvement guidera la stratégie de la Fondation Wikimedia jusqu'en 2030 ; Et nous sommes reconnaissants que cela reflète non seulement les voix de nos communautés africaines, mais aspire, aussi, à poursuivre et à approfondir ces possibilités de connexion. *Nous offrons des ressources sur la façon de renforcer les partenariats. *Nous avons organisé des ateliers de partenariats et un renforcement des capacités à la Wikimedia Conference à Berlin. Pour l'Afrique en particulier, nous poursuivons nos « office hours » trimestrielles régulièrement planifiées, avec l'équipe Partnerships and Global Reach de la Fondation disponible pour répondre à des questions, échanger des mises à jour et explorer de nouvelles opportunités. Nous reconnaissons que 2018 sera l'année de l'Afrique dans le mouvement Wikimedia. Dans un an, nous nous rassemblerons pour Wikimania en Afrique du Sud, pour la deuxième fois en Afrique et la première fois en Afrique subsaharienne. Ce sera l'occasion d'amener le mouvement global à ce qui est pour le moment le seul chapitre du continent (mais certainement pas pour longtemps). Nous visiterons également la Tunisie, pour la première WikiIndaba en Afrique du Nord. Je suis profondément enthousiaste de ce que l'année 2018 apportera, et j'attends avec impatience toutes les réalisations que nous célébrerons ensemble à Wikimania dans un an. Je vous remercie, communauté africaine, de partager votre voix et vos expériences. Aujourd'hui, à Wikimania, je m'engage à poursuivre notre engagement envers la communauté africaine. Le mouvement Wikimedia s'adresse à tous : lecteurs et éditeurs, militants et archivistes, nouveaux arrivants et experts, de toutes les régions, cultures et langues. La communauté africaine est tellement importante pour le mouvement et je suis inspiré par le travail et les pensées que vous consacrez à façonner notre avenir.

We now need your help in making it a success! We invite members from your Wikimedia organization or user group to sign up as ambassadors for the conference.[3] Ambassadors are champions of Diversity on Wikimedia and volunteer to use that power to support the conference in several ways. - Support before the conference. Ambassadors help communicate to local communities that the conference will happen and provide updates of the planning process, such as when to register and how to apply for scholarship and why submit a proposal. The other way is to provide constructive input and ideas for the program and for the overall event. Ambassadors can also organize discussions at other conferences taking place prior to the Diversity conference. - Support during the conference. Ambassadors can also volunteer their champion powers during the conference to support documentation and curation of discussions and insights, facilitate the implementation of the program with the facilitation team, support participants with helpful advice and on-site information. - Support after the conference. Ambassadors help disseminate the knowledge gained during the conference to their communities and to participate in networks to continue working with Diversity. Active participation as an ambassador will support a scholarship application. We would be grateful if you could forward this possibility to your communities. Furthermore, we are actively looking for more funding from sponsors, but we do have limited opportunities to provide scholarships and only parts of the travel costs for participants can currently be covered. If your Wikimedia organization has the opportunity to provide a full or partial scholarship for your volunteers or staff, please let us know. We would be happy to highlight your involvement and support on the conference portal.[3] If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us! We intend to send out the registration form at the end of next week.

Hello, Please read this and comment before I submit the group thought. Thanks. Habib -------- Message d'origine -------- De : Nicole Ebber <nicole.ebber(a)wikimedia.de> Envoyé : 8 août 2017 23:55:43 GMT+01:00 À : habib.mhenni(a)gmail.com Cc : Suzie Nussel <snussel(a)wikimedia.org>, Jaime Anstee <janstee(a)wikimedia.org> Objet : Please review and comment on the strategic direction Dear Habib, After cycle 3 now is concluded, I would like to ask you as the Discussion Coordinators for your Affiliate or group to turn your attention to the draft of the strategic direction: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Direction Please note that although the direction is firm, the text itself is not *final* – there is still plenty of opportunity for feedback in the coming weeks. You and your affiliate or organized group will have all August to review and discuss the direction and share your feedback. You can either share the results of your conversations directly on the meta talk page[1] or – for a more structured feedback – via a sources page that you create following our template[2]. Any feedback is highly welcome! To initiate a conversation around the direction, you can for example ask your peers “What do you like about the direction? What can be improved? Is there anything that’s missing and that you would like to see added? What would keep your affiliate or group from endorsing it?” Based on your feedback, the drafting group[3] will continue to refine and finalize this direction through August. The more we all can collaborate on strengthening this draft, the stronger our future will be. If you or other representatives of your group will be at Wikimania this week, you will have the chance to join us for live conversations and discussions around the draft, new voices findings, the endorsement process and the next steps where we will discuss what this direction actually means for us as a movement in terms of roles, responsibilities and resources. We will host several sessions in our Movement Strategy Space from Thursday to Sunday, and the program is almost finalized.[4] After Wikimania, we'll enter what we're calling the "endorsement process" - in which we'll be looking for support from as many Wikimedia organizations as possible. We'd love for this to be part of your planned conversations with your boards, and are happy to support you in those. Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or concerns to share.

Reporting an issue from [Carthagina]
by Emna Mizouni 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Dear co-founders of the group, Dear Wikimedia TN User Group members, I trust my email finds you all in good shape. I'm writing to you on my capacity as Carthagina current President. I’m addressing this email to the co-founders of the group as the legitimate co-chairs and to the community as well because we are partners in several successful projects (MedinaPedia, GLAM) and contests (WLM, WLA,...). We strongly value this partnership and we would like to maintain it for more joint work (the ongoing GLAM project in the Diocesan Library, the upcoming photo contests, the next MedinaPedia Dougga and Sfax,...). I would like to report an issue between a member of this community and some members of my team - Carthagina that has gone bigger than expected. In Carthagina, we value people and we value our team's work and of course our partners. Partner for once, partner forever. We, as well, prioritise the diversity and homogeneity of the team. Jamel Ben Saidane (a wikimedian and Human Resources Officer - Carthagina) and I received a complaint from Afek Ben Chahed and Zeineb Takouti, two members of Carthagina and active Wikimedians. They reported several times the misbehaviour of the Wikimedian Mounir Touzri. The situation kept escalating to the point of insulting Zeineb and devaluing her work. Harassing Afek and trying to influence her to split Carthagina and Wikimedia TN UG members. Afek reported as well that Mounir has stolen one of her ideas of Wiki University Clubs. Side conversations took place containing gossiping, shouting on the phone and depreciation toward these members. It became an unhealthy environment to volunteer. It suddenly became a very contagious atmosphere where my teammates felt frustrated and affected in a way to have incidents within the core staff of Carthagina (when Mounir started reaching out to Issam Barhoumi and Samy Mlouhi). *I would like to thank Habib and Yamen who called the members to motivate them in several occasions showing a good model of leadership.* But this is not all. The complaint that I would like to hand to you as a Wikimedian, contains influencing voting. Several members confirmed that Mounir contacted them privately to ask them to vote for a specific person. The way that he acts as the owner of the every new members faith; X person can go to attend Y conference while Z person is not welcome to attend ... May I remind you that this kind of behaviour made us lose one of the active and enthusiastic wikipedian few year ago (I’m talking here about Wael Ghabara). I would like to also highlight that myself as well as other wikimedians, have concerns about the grants that Mounir is receiving without letting us know. I recall our Wikimedia TN meeting organised by Mounir himself in Sousse early March, when we all agreed that all grant requests should be known by the community and go through our unique fiscal sponsor CLibre. >From our side in Carthagina, for the first time in our history we activated our policy and decided unanimously to ban definitely Mounir Touzri from all our activities, projects and venue. We declare him as a "Persona non grata". This decision was taken based on our code of conduct and all our members, observer-members and board of trustees voted for it. This is the hardest decision, we took in Carthagina, especially that Mounir was considered part of our community and that he helped us in the WM-Carthagina events. But unfortunately, we cannot allow/accept this kind of behaviour from someone who's supposed to know our policy as well as the Wikimedia friendly space policy. The Carthagina meeting minutes would be shared with Yamen and Habib and if you would like to hear more concerns from our team about the Wikimedia related issues, my team and I are happy to collaborate. It saddens me to write this email but the situation needed an action to stop the abuse from growing bigger than it is.
