Todd Allen and I are headed to Germany April 19-22 to represent the Wikimedians of Colorado User Group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group The conference page is at Wikimedia Conference 2018 - Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018 Do you all have any input? Is there anything in particular we should look for or bring up at the conference? E.g. about the Wikimedia long-term strategic plan? https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Direction --- Our strategic direction: Service and Equity --- By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us. We, the Wikimedia contributors, communities, and organizations, will advance our world by collecting knowledge that fully represents human diversity, and by building the services and structures that enable others to do the same. We will carry on our mission of developing content as we have done in the past, and we will go further. Knowledge as a service: To serve our users, we will become a platform that serves open knowledge to the world across interfaces and communities. We will build tools for allies and partners to organize and exchange free knowledge beyond Wikimedia. Our infrastructure will enable us and others to collect and use different forms of free, trusted knowledge. Knowledge equity: As a social movement, we will focus our efforts on the knowledge and communities that have been left out by structures of power and privilege. We will welcome people from every background to build strong and diverse communities. We will break down the social, political, and technical barriers preventing people from accessing and contributing to free knowledge. --- Or Movement Partnerships? Or Capacity Building & Learning? I'll be out-of-town starting tomorrow and this nealmcb(a)gmail.com address is the best way to reach me.
