Wikimedia Affiliates Summit, affiliate stuff in general?
by Isarra Yos 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hi, all. So I made it to the summit, and so far I have this to report: help I want to go back to bed. Also uuuuh we're apparently an affiliate and have some say in affiliate-selected board seats?! But seriously, the focus of this thing seems a lot more specific than previous years, not that I'm particularly familiar with previous years either: it's all about Strategy. Movement process. 2030 stuff. That... discussion I maybe kind of sort of derailed a year or two ago on this same list (sorry about that). As such, I'm wondering if anyone does have any particular thoughts on this, or ideas as to stuff I ought to be looking into in particular that might affect us as a group/loosely affiliated lump of people in theoretical proximity to each other who occasionally organise things in theoretically relevant geological locations? Or if you actually want to read up it, it's probably this: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20 As for the affiliate-selected board seats thing, I'm... honestly not really sure what the deal with that is - I've been signed up for a mailing list about it (possibly as the selected person for this conference? Not sure - was anyone else added to that?) but haven't been able to find out a whole lot about what's the deal with that onwiki, either, partly on account of being a bit distracted travelling all over and being ill. So, yeah, should I be representing us on that, too, does anyone know any more about that one, and what do we make of that?! -I
