*Celebrating Hebrew Wikipedia 10th anniversary *
- On July 2013, Wikimedia Israel celebrated the 10th Hebrew Wikipedia
anniversary. We had a Wikipedia community tribute event and celebrated the
event with a joint breakfast and watching an Israeli movie in the movie
theater at Cinema City. The event was attended by about 100 Wikipedia
volunteers.

- In addition to the Wikipedia editors meet – up, we were looking for a
special way to celebrate the Hebrew Wikipedia 10th anniversary - something
that has never been done before. The result was a unique collaboration with
TV Channel 2, the most viewed channel in Israel! For an entire week, five
of the most senior Channel 2 reporters, who learned to edit Wikipedia by
our volunteers, wrote or extended an article on Hebrew Wikipedia. Then,
each recorded a one minute video, explaining why they have decided to write
on this specific topic. Every day, just before the evening news broadcast,
the video was broadcasted and while the anchor presented the project, he
explained "we wanted to celebrate Wikipedia’s 10th anniversary and show
that everyone can write an article on Wikipedia”. Happy Birthday Wikipedia!

*Program activities*
- *GLAM
*On July 23, we had a presentation and an editing workshop to the
consulting workers in the National Library in Jerusalem, as part of the
ongoing collaboration.
- *Africa Center Projec**t
*As part of the cooperation with Wikimedia Israel, on July 28, a
delegation of 18 students from Africa Central at Ben - Gurion University
(BGU) left to Ghana, to install an offline copy of Wikipedia there. We look
forward to the return of the expedition in October and until then, the
project was expanded to other networked villages in the region that were
not part of the original plan. Also, Wikimedia Israel volunteers were able
to connect the students with local Wikipedia volunteers from Ghana, and
with their help they continue to expand the project.
*Lectures and Academic Partnerships
*
- As a result of the Wikipedia Academy conference held in early June,
and dealt with the lack of women writers in Wikipedia, forged a new
collaboration between Wikimedia Israel and the gender Department at Tel
Aviv University. With the beginning of the academic year, a lecture and
editing workshop is scheduled to the gender Faculty and MA students. The
goal is to implement a program in which students will write Wikipedia
articles on gender issues (and others) as a mandatory course assignment.
- In the past month, there were a number of “What is Wikipedia”
lectures at the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, at the Ministry of
Education convention and in various cities in Israel. The talk was
attended by more than 200 people in total, and was. The lectures were
delivered by Wikimedia Israel volunteers as a part of collaborations in
various fields.
- 2 meeting were held recently with members of the Student Association
at the Tel Aviv University, in favor of planning educational project with
the university faculty and with the. This is a new collaboration and we
look forward to promote it soon.
*Administrative Updates*
- On July, we finally finished the recruiting process of our new ED.
After a series of interviews, we are pleased to announce the joining of a
new ED – Michal Lester. We look forward to the beginning her employment in
early September and to a productive and successful development of Wikimedia
Israel.
- On July 9, we held a General Assembly to approve few changes in our
bylaws.
