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 http://adainitiative.org/what-we-do/workshops-and-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
