Hi All,
I want to let you know that members of Wikimedia NYC including
myself have been talking with Sumana Harihareswara, Senior Technical Writer at
the Wikimedia Foundation, whom many of you know, about having her run an Ada
Initiative Ally
Skills training for WMNYC sometime in late September. After the WMNYC
meeting with Asaf yesterday, there was also some talk about the WMF helping us
find a suitable diversity trainer to talk specifically about effective communication, tolerance, and other topics of gender, privacy, etc. etc. in online
communities.
If you are interested in helping coordinate this, please contact
Lane or myself and/or give us your feedback about scheduling a diversity
training event.
Thanks,
Dorothy
