Hello everyone,
I'm very pleased to announce that Kelly Doyle and Rosie
Stephenson-Goodknight have joined the Wikimedia DC Board of Directors.
I'm sure that most of you already know Kelly and Rosie; for anyone who
doesn't, Kelly currently serves as the Wikipedian in Residence for Gender
Equity at West Virginia University Libraries, while Rosie is a co-founder

other projects.
Please join me in congratulating them on their new roles!
Cheers,

Greetings,
Wikimedians, please review something we are working on for the Wikimedia
Foundation, the Technical Collaboration Guideline [0].
The Technical Collaboration Guideline (TCG) is a set of best practice
recommendations, for planning and communicating product and project
information to Wikimedia communities, in order to work better, together.
The TCG allows Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) Product teams and Wikimedia
communities to work together in a systematic way in the product development
and deployment cycle. It is hoped that the TCG is useful enough to be
utilized in planning and communications regarding any project, from anyone.
The TCG is intended to be flexible as plans and products change in
development; it is a guide whose contents will help build collaborative
relationships.
The initial draft of the TCG was written after discussions in small groups
with members of the Community Liaisons and Product Management teams, to
identify successes and failures in communication, and what we can do to
encourage collaboration with the communities. Over the next month, I am
seeking review and feedback from Wikimedia community members. All feedback
that is left will be read; if there is a case for immediate action, it will
be made. All feedback will be taken into consideration when editing the
next draft of the TCG. Please keep in mind that the TCG is intended to be
lightweight information and instruction and will not be completely
comprehensive. The TCG and the conversations about it are in English, but
comments from all languages are welcome.
Over the next few days, this invitation for review will be distributed
across the wikis.
Also, within the coming weeks, I'll be announcing a review on behalf of the
WMF's Design team. They have been working diligently over the past few
months to identify and define the purpose of design within the WMF, and
they are looking forward to sharing this statement of purpose with the
broader Wikimedia movement for comment. If you're interested, please be on
the lookout for this review announcement.
I look forward to reading your comments on the wiki [1].

Greetings,
As a community, we've talked a lot about values in the past year. The
core values of the Wikimedia Foundation were first formulated in
2007−2008 and have not really been discussed in depth since then. In
2013, we also developed Guiding principles, a list of more practical
norms and expected behaviors that guide our day-to-day work at the
Foundation. Combined with our vision and mission statements, those
documents represent the core facets of our organizational identity.
Both staff and volunteers have expressed concerns that there isn't
currently a shared understanding (among the staff and other
constituents) of what our core values are, and how we express them in
our work. We've also talked about a need to revisit or reinforce them.
A few months ago, a working group formed to organize a series of new
discussions about the WMF's values. The goal is to reflect on what is
bringing us together, identify the core beliefs that motivate our
vision, refine our list of values, and clarify our organizational
identity.
Discussions about values in nonprofit organizations are usually done
internally. Given the open and collaborative nature of the Wikimedia
movement, such a closed, internal process wouldn't make sense for the
WMF. The Foundation is part of an integrated ecosystem of individuals
and organizations that contribute to defining its identity. Input
should be collected not just from staff and Board members, but also
from volunteers, affiliates, and partners who wish to participate in
this process.
On behalf of the Values working group, I would therefore like to
invite you to this discussion on Meta. There, you will find more
information about the process, as well as a page to share your
perspective on the Wikimedia Foundation's values. The framing that
we're using for this discussion is one that considers values as the
core intrinsic beliefs that drive our participation in the movement.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Values/2016_discussion
The discussion will be open for a month, i.e. until November 20.
Comments added after that date will still be welcome, but may not be
included in the summary process.
I hope many of you take this opportunity to help define (or refine)
the Foundation's organizational identity.
