Nota: Esse trecho abaixo (traduzido porcamente agorinha) é bastante
motivador e me faz lembrar do que o movimento "é", e esquecer um pouco
do que ele "não é":
Durante Wikimania, eu dei uma pequena palestra propondo algumas novas
funcionalidades para a Wikipédia. O público, que era formado
principalmente de programadores e outros wikipedistas de alto
prestigio, imediatamente começou a propor erros na ideia. "Isso não
vai causar o problema X?" "Como vai impedir que Y aconteça?" "Você
realmente acha que as pessoas vão fazer Z?"
Por um tempo eu tentei responder, explicando as formas técnicas para
resolver o problema, no entanto depois de alguns rounds, eu finalmente
disse:
"Chega!
Se eu aparecesse aqui há cinco anos e dissesse que eu estava começando
uma enciclopédia online, colocando um monte de páginas que qualquer
pessoa pode editar, vocês também levantariam mil objeções: Ela vai
ficar cheia de vandalismo! O conteúdo não será confiável! Ninguém vai
fazer esse trabalho de graça!
E vocês estariam certos. Estas eram expectativas completamente
razoáveis na época.
Mas tem coisa engraçada: Isso funcionou mesmo assim."
Na época, eu estava feliz por ter calado a boca deles. Mas depois eu
comecei a pensar mais sobre isso.
Por que a Wikipedia funciona afinal?
Não foi porque seus programadores eram eficientes e o software
resolveu todos os problemas. E não era porque as pessoas corriam para
colocar regras claras no lugar para evitar o mau comportamento.
Sabemos disso porque quando Wikipedia começou não tinha nenhum
programador (costumava usar um software wiki de terceiros) e não
tinhas regras claras (inclusive aparentemente uma das primeiras regras
foi ignorar todas as regras).
A razão para a Wikipedia funcionar é a comunidade, um grupo de pessoas
que trata o projeto como seu e cuida para torná-lo bem sucedido.
As pessoas estão frequentemente tentando vandalizar a Wikipedia,
substituindo artigos com texto aleatório. O que não funciona; porque
suas edições são desfeitas em poucos minutos, até mesmo segundos. Mas
por quê?
Não é mágica - é um grupo de pessoas extremamente dedicadas que se
sentam em seus computadores observando cada uma das mudanças. Alguns
os chamam de "patrulha das mudanças recentes" e hoje eles tem um
software especial que faz com que seja mais fácil desfazer as
alterações ruins e bloquear usuários maliciosos com alguns cliques.
É difícil imaginar alguém se sentir assim sobre Britannica. Há pessoas
que amam a enciclopédia, mas nenhum deles apareceu em seus escritórios
oferecendo-se para ajudar.
É difícil até de imaginar. A maioria das pessoas simplesmente não se
sente responsável pelo Britannica, há profissionais para fazer isso

Subject: [Wikimedia Kenya] project proposal - Wikipedia Primary School
To: "The discussion list for the Wikimedia Kenya chapter." <
wikimediake(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
dear Wikipedians in Kenya,
with Tobias Schönwetter and Kelsey Wiens from the University of Cape Town
and CC Africa, Isaac Rutenberg from the Strathmore University Centre for IP
and IT Law, and another partner from Germany we are currently identifying,
we are planning to apply for a project which it would great to link with
you.
The project is called Wikipedia Primary School and it aims at providing on
Wikipedia the information necessary to complete the cycle of primary
education in the languages used by the different education systems.
Our idea is to focus on Kenya and South Africa with the ERAfrica New Ideas
programme (2014-2016). you find below an overall description of the project.
The project actually comes from your experience of distributing offline
Wikipedia in Kenya and it would be great if some of you would like to
contribute to it.
Also the Africa Centre is working to organize trainings and activities for
wikipedians in residence in Kenya.
We don't need an official letter, but simply a letter for the people
interested in the project. you can also contact me directly or you can
maybe discuss among you if the project is relevant and write together a
letter with the names of the people who would like to participate. for the
moment i will keep you updated on the project development and invite you to
join the activities or to apply for open positions. I think it would be
also very precious to document your experience with offline Wikipedia,
maybe with some interviews. this could also be a specific activity directed
by your group. Maybe also the link with the Strathmore University Centre
for IP and IT Law can be useful for further initiatives linked to GLAMs. I
also just wrote to OER Africa - Open Educational Resources Africa which is
based in Nairobi.
what do think? would it be possible to collaborate on this project?
please consider that i would be more than pleased to change the project
also according to your ideas and proposals.
looking forward to hear your impressions and my very best regards
iolanda/iopensa

--------------------------------------
*Wikipedia **Primary School*
*Providing on Wikipedia the information necessary to complete the cycle of
primary education in the languages used by the different education systems.*
A project allowing students, families and teachers to find on Wikipedia the
documentation necessary to obtain the primary school qualification in their
country, in their language.
Wikipedia is meant to be an educational tool and it is currently available
online, via mobile phones and offline. Experiences have shown that, once
accessible, Wikipedia does not provide information that responds directly
to curriculum-based questions. The project relies on Wikipedia as an
existing and growing resource, it solves the need for an encyclopaedia
capable of responding to curriculum-based questions, and it fosters
Wikipedia content, quality and outreach.
More specifically the project aims at:
1. Bridging Wikipedia and primary education. This objective implies to
move the Wikipedia community towards a focus on primary education, and at
the same time to strengthen the capacity of the education ecosystem to
contribute to Wikipedia, and in general to open collaborative knowledge.
2. Enriching Wikipedia with new content relevant to primary education.
This objective implies an assessment of the articles produced.
3. Fostering the development of translations and new content in
different Wikipedia linguistic editions. This objective implies the release
of existing educational resources (OER in cc by or cc by-sa), the
production of datasets and the involvement of the Wikimedia movement.
4. Verifying and evaluating the use of Wikipedia as a source of
information for primary education. This objective implies the involvement
of stakeholders and data analysis.
*Wikipedia Primary School* contributes to universal primary education and
to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG2: Achieve Universal Primary
Education). Even if it is scalable and international, the project is
conceived primarily to address African countries and languages.
Wikipedia is a very peculiar encyclopaedia. It is a living organism made of
a wide community with specific policies, clusters and dynamics.
Contributing to Wikipedia means to play a fair game, and to respect the way
Wikipedia works, its rules and community. To strengthen the capacity of
Wikipedia to respond directly to curriculum-based questions, the project
does not simply transfer content from national schoolbooks into Wikipedia.
The methodology is centred around research and fieldwork activities.
Research activities focus on monitoring Wikipedia in different linguistic
editions; understanding the different national education systems and
identifying which are the content capable of responding to curriculum-based
questions; involving a scientific committee in contributing to the project;
establishing and managing a Wikipedia Scientific Journal, a peer-reviewed
scientific publication in Creative Commons attributions share-alike
license, designed to involve scholars and to assess Wikipedia articles, in
collaboration with other scientific journals and by fostering synergies
between scientific knowledge and Wikipedia and open access; producing
datasets to generate stub articles on Wikipedia in all linguistic editions;
uploading content, in particular OER Open Educational Resources already
available and images and texts provided with an open license compatible
with Wikipedia; supporting territorial development with tutors and with
upload capacities (in particular for countries with low connectivity);
monitoring and evaluating the project.
Fieldwork activities focus on testing and enhancing the use of Wikipedia in
primary school and it is developed in collaboration with the stakeholders
already working in education. They provide training, in particular training
for Wikipedians in residence; they organise Wikipedia events, in particular
Wiki Loves Monuments; they allow networking with institutions and
governments to facilitate the release of content with open licenses; they
tutor institutions and people; they develop pilot projects in schools and
in collaboration with NGOs working in education; they establish hotspots
where needed; and they facilitate the distribution of Wikipedia offline in
countries where relevant.
*What we do not do*
*Wikipedia Primary School* is a scalable and international project with a
specific goal: it responds to a real need, it relies on existing networks
and resources, and it is structured to allow people and institutions to
contribute to it. The very nature of the project is meant to produce a
broad impact. If the project *Wikipedia Primary School* is successful, it
can be developed in the future by producing content for other cycle of
education.
1. We do not break Wikipedia rules. The project respects Wikipedia
pillars and the opinions of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia communities.
2. We do not believe the project substitutes in any way the essential
role of people and institutions working in education. We want to contribute
in a specific way to the work many people and institutions are already
implementing and we believe only a collaborative approach can really allow
the project to be effective and relevant.
3. We do not produce a selection of Wikipedia articles. We want people
to access and benefit from the whole Wikipedia.
4. We do not address students, teachers and families only. Contributing
to Wikipedia is meant to provide better knowledge for everyone everywhere.
5. We do not work for governments and ministries of education. The
project is meant to be independent. It selects articles to be based on
national educational systems, but it does not implement on Wikipedia
governments’ strategies or requests.
6. We do not provide offline access to Wikipedia over online access. We
consider online access to Wikipedia a priority and the best way to access
Wikipedia, because it allows to contribute to it.
7. We do not consider Wikipedia a schoolbook. Wikipedia is not a
schoolbook and it can not substitute teachers and educators and other
appropriate educational resources.
8. We do not simplify Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia
and it requires a certain level of literacy in order to access it. We do
not want to adapt Wikipedia to primary school level; we want to include
topics and content relevant for primary education.
9. We do not make content available for Wikipedia only. Using Creative
Commons as part of the project methodology allows contents to be available
beyond Wikipedia.
10. We do not promote Wikipedia as a stable and passive resource. We
consider essential that people who use Wikipedia understand what Wikipedia
is. To understand it, the only appropriate way is to contribute to it and
being part of it.
11. We do not provide Wikipedia as it is. The project aims at fostering
a joint effort to improve Wikipedia and to assess its quality.
12. We do not centralise all the activities. The project can only reach
its goal and produce high quality content and impact, if people and
institutions can adapt them to their context, vision and work.
*What practically we want to do*
1) Involving governments in releasing dataset about public administrations
(to contribute to Wikidata and produce stub articles; at the moment only
Botswana is fully documented)
2) Asking OER open educational resources to be released in cc by or cc
by-sa (and not cc by-sa-nc-nd).
3) Asking other institutions working in education to contribute to OER.
4) Assessing Wikipedia articles by creating a Wikipedia Scientific Journal.
the idea is to assess wikipedia articles with the involvement of academic
peer-revierwes. this is specifically necessary for content related to
Africa because it needs to acknowledge the last 60 years of postcolonial
studies (which at the moment they are not well represented on
Wikipedia). the Wikipedia Scientific Journal is established in partnerships
with existing scientific journals; the peer-reviewers of those scientific
journals review the articles (existing ones and new ones) and we can make
calls for papers. those call for papers can address existing Wikipedia
authors but also scholars (who can add those publications to their cv since
they ae peer-reviewed and made in collaborations with scientific journals).
it is not a direct way of working on Wikipedia but i think it is the most
relevant on the long run.
Once articles are peer-reviewed they can be translated and they can be
rewritten in specific ways. At the same time also articles from Vikidia can
be a source.
5) Establishing a scientific committee who defines which articles
contribute to primary education and they overview and evaluate the project.
the scientific committee is also a communication tool which makes sure
stakeholders are involved.
6) Fostering communication and community building among the different
Wikipedia/Wikimedia clusters (project pages on Wikipedia, different
projects, different wikipedia linguistic editions, wikimedia chapters,
project such as wiki loves monuments which helps to understand what
wikipedia is and to start contributing)
7) Monitoring what happens with data analysis.
The project Wikipedia Primary School and all its documentation is under
Creative Commons attribution share alike license. Iolanda Pensa drafted the
project in 2012.

Subject: [Wmfall] Free online class w/Stanford: Crash Course on Creativity
To: "Staff (All)" <wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Just came across this - a free course from Stanford! It's online and
available to anyone, anywhere in the world :)
If you're interested, you'll need to act quick since the class starts April
22. To sign-up, go to: http://venture-lab.org/creativity
The Course
This crash course is designed to explore several factors that stimulate and
inhibit creativity in individuals, teams, and organizations. In each
session we will focus on a different variable related to creativity, such
as framing problems, challenging assumptions, and creative teams.
The course is highly experiential, requiring each student to participate
actively, taking on weekly projects. Each Wednesday a new challenge will be
presented, and the results are due the following Tuesday. Some of the
challenges will be completed individually, and some will be done in teams.
There will be a two-week project toward the end of the course that will
allow you to use all the tools you have learned.
To foster collaboration and learning between the students, we will craft
teams for each assignment. Each project will be done with a different team,
so students get a chance to work with a wide variety of participants. All
submissions will be viewed and evaluated by the course participants. There
will also be a course Twitter feed and Facebook page, and several scheduled
Google Hangouts that will enable active discussions on specific topics.
Recommended textbook: *inGenius: A Crash Course on
Creativity<http://www.amazon.com/inGenius-Course-Creativity-Tina-Seelig/dp/0062020706>
by
Tina Seelig*.
*Workload*
Expect to spend between 1 - 5 hours a week on the course.
*Technical Requirements*
You need a computer that allows you to watch the video lectures, and the
ability to upload your assignments, which will be images, videos, slides,
and text. You will also be required to collaborate with teammates via
email, skype, and other free online tools.
*Prerequisites*
This is an introductory course designed for anyone, anywhere in the world.
There are no prerequisites. It would be helpful to have basic skills taking
digital photos, creating slide, presentations, and creating short videos
for your homework submissions.
*Course Content*
The course is designed to introduce you to a set of tools for generating
new ideas individually and as part of a team, including opportunity
identification, reframing problems, connecting and combining ideas, and
challenging assumptions. We will also discuss team dynamics, creative
communication, and cultures that support creative problem solving.
*Team Projects*
There are several short team projects in the course. You can bring your own
team or we will create one for you.
*Evaluation*
Because this course focuses on creativity, evaluation of the projects is
necessarily subjective. Our goal is to make sure that you get thoughtful
feedback on your submissions and to showcase the most creative solutions
for each challenge. To do this, the entire class will be involved in
providing feedback on the assignments. The more projects you review, the
more feedback you receive on your project. Also, you will be getting
guidance and feedback on your evaluations in order to make sure they are as
accurate and constructive as possible. The projects that are the most
highly rated will be showcased on the course home page.

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful

Moçada, eu e o Célio fomos na Casa FDE pra ver uns trecos com a Luca, mas a
gente se desencontrou, mas como estávamos por lá mesmo, conversamos sobre
um plano entre MWBR e FDE
A ideia aqui é criar inicialmente um plano de ocupação do FDE em nossos
projetos, fazendo divulgações de conteúdo semanais até que se "perca o
controle".
Em contrapartida, também nos foi ofertado utilizar as redes deles,
incluindo ae Overmundo (viu Oona :P), para divulgação de coisas nossas.
Para terem noção, eles já estão pensando em uma oficina na semana do dia 25
para já capacitar agentes FDE para utilizarem as Wikis.
A ideia inicial é a criação de "reportagens" na Wikinews.
Ideias, pensamentos e disponibilidades de ir na oficina? Minha internet
está um lixo e não estou conseguindo acessar nesse momento a br.wiki,
depois eu crio lá, abraços.

conteúdo das nossas plataformas envolvidas:
*-Produzir oficina sobre a Wikimedia na semana do dia 25/02 pra formarmos
os gestores da Mídia FdE com as plataformas livres de difusão de conteúdo*
*-Montar plano de ocupação das plataformas da Wikimedia com conteúdo
produzido pela Mídia FdE. Frequência: artigo semanal durante um mês*
*-Montar plano de ocupação do Overmundo por conteúdo colaborativo do
Wikimedia*
Por enquanto é isso, se tiverem algo a adicionar é só mandar por aqui.
Seguimos em contato e à disposição pra qualquer coisa!

* Regular deadline: May 17, 2013
The 2013 Joint International Symposium on Open Collaboration (WikiSym +
OpenSym 2013) is the premier conference on open collaboration research and
practice, including wikis and social media, Wikipedia, free, libre, and
open source software, open access, open data and open government research.
WikiSym is in its 9th year and will be complemented by OpenSym, a new
conference on open collaboration research and practice and an adjunct to
the successful WikiSym conference series. WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 is the
first conference to bring together the different strands of open
collaboration research and practice, seeking to create synergies and
inspire new collaborations between computer scientists, social scientists,
legal scholars, and everyone interested in understanding open collaboration
and how it is changing the world. Read more about the conference at

http://opensym.org/wsos2013/**about <http://opensym.org/wsos2013/about>
Experience Reports
Experience reports are an integral part of the conference program. These
are opportunities to discuss how ideas that sound good on paper (and at
conferences!) work in real life projects and deployments. Many attendees
want to learn from people on the front lines what it is like to do things
like start a company wiki, use open collaboration tools in a classroom, or
build a political campaign around open collaboration systems.
Experience reports are not research papers; their goal is to present
experience and reflections on a particular case, and they are reviewed for
usefulness, clarity and reflection. Strong experience reports discuss both
benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used and clearly call out lessons
learned. Reports may focus on a particular aspect of technology usage and
practice, or describe broad project experiences.
Experience reports can be long (up to 10 pages) or short (up to 4 pages). A
long experience report will receive a regular 30 minute presentation slot,
a short experience report will receive a shorter presentation slot.
Workshops
Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to
discuss and learn about topics that require in-depth, extended engagement
such as new systems, research methods, standards, and formats.
Workshop proposals should describe what you intend to do and how your
session will meet the criteria described above. It should include a concise
abstract, proposed time frame (half-day or full-day), what you plan to do
during the workshop, and one-paragraph biographies of all organizers.
Workshop proposals will be reviewed and selected for their interest to the
community. Each accepted workshop will be provided with a meeting room for
either a half or full day. Organizers may also request technology and
materials (projector, flip pads, etc).
Panels
Panels provide an interactive forum for bringing together people with
interesting points of view to discuss compelling issues around open
collaboration. Panels involve participation from both the panelists and
audience members in a lively discussion. Proposals for panels should
describe the topics and goals and explain how the panel will be organized
and how the Wikisym + OpenSym community will benefit. It should include a
concise abstract and one-paragraph biographies of panelists and moderators.
Panel submissions will be reviewed and selected for their interest to the
community. Each panel will be given a 90-minute time slot.
Demos
No format is better suited for demonstrating the utility of new
collaboration technologies than showing and using them. Demonstrations give
presenters an opportunity to show running systems and gather feedback. Demo
submissions should provide a setup for the demo, a specific description of
what you plan to demo, what you hope to get out of demoing, and how the
audience will benefit. A short note of any special technical requirements
should be included.
Demo submissions will be reviewed based on their relevance to the
community. All accepted demos will given space at a joint demo session (90
minutes) during the conference.
Tutorials
Tutorials tutorials are half-day classes, taught by experts, designed to
help professionals rapidly come up to speed on a specific technology or
methodology. Tutorials can be lecture-oriented or participatory. Tutorial
attendees deserve the highest standard of excellence in tutorial
preparation and delivery. Tutorial presenters are typically experts in
their chosen topic and experienced speakers skilled in preparing and
delivering educational presentations. When selecting tutorials, we will
consider the presenter’s knowledge of the proposed topic and past success
at teaching it.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
There are two submission deadlines, an early and a regular one. The early
deadline is for those who need to know early that their community track
submission has been accepted. This mostly applies to workshops that require
a program committee and their own paper submission and review process (as
opposed, for example, to walk-in workshops). Also, some may need the
additional time to raise funds and acquire a visa.
Submissions should follow the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. For
advice and templates, please see http://www.acm.org/sigs/**
publications/proceedings-**templates<
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>.
All papers must conform at time of submission to the formatting
instructions and must not exceed the page limits, including all text,
references, appendices and figures. All submissions must in PDF format.
All papers and proposals should be submitted electronically through
EasyChair using the following URL: https://www.easychair.org/**

Oi pessoal,
Bem, parte de vocês já devem ter visto o post no blog, mas aproveito a
ocasião para agradecer o exemplo e a energia de todos, dessa lista e
suas aparentadas, sem os quais não procederia com a mesma alegria nem
eficácia esse ciclo virtuoso de colaboração =)

Lembrando, é claro, que isso é só mais um começo para tantos esforços,
das mais diversas idades e paternidades, que já vieram e que ainda virão

Ou, como melhor disse Brancaleone da Norcia...
