A month ago, I met some of you for the first time at the WMF’s monthly metrics meeting. Officially, today is my first day as Executive Director of the Foundation. In practice, it’s a day like many others: Today and in the future, we’ll keep working together towards our mission.
When I first started learning about Wikimedia, I thought to myself: this will be different. Now, seeing the world from within the information Big Bang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang, I know: it is.
Every second the universe of information is expanding around us, and Wikimedia is a major force that turns this information into knowledge. It is beholden to no one, yet accountable to each and every human being. We, the people who create knowledge and bring it to every corner of the world, are the ones that help it expand. We, the people who read and learn, are the ones that hold the power to make this world a better place.
I often speak about human experience. Most have understood this as talking about user experience: the way we access the information or contribute knowledge. You are — partially — right. But what I mean is bigger than that.
What I am after is our connection to the world and each other through knowledge. What I’d like us to do is to think big. Think beyond ourselves. Think about humanity as a whole. Because you can. Because Wikimedia is the place to transcend the now and to build the future.
This means that what’s ahead is bigger than any one of us. Yet, together, we can make it happen. It means thinking beyond ourselves. It means thinking as a student in Cambodia learning about Khmer poetry < https://km.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%9E%80%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%9A%E1%9E%98%E1%9E%84%...
,
or a doctor in France writing about infectious diseases https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maladies_infectieuses. This means empathy, altruism and compassion. It means making things accessible, friendly and easy for everyone.
This is what makes Wikimedia big.
This is what makes each of us bigger than we could ever be.
This is the what. Our job, as the community and the Foundation, is to build the how. Where is the will, there is a way. We are here to walk it.
Let’s think big.

Legal por ela ser ambiciosa e nos convidar a pensar grande. Espero que as coisas dêem certo!
Sendo um bom wikimedista chato, apenas o ponto "Because Wikimedia is the place to transcend the now and to build the future." soou muito como puxar sardinha para o mundo wiki apenas. A Wikipédia é revolucionária. O wiki é apenas uma ferramenta.
Se a WMF continuar tão wiki-cêntrica (principalmente nas sua métricas) continuará com uma comunidade cuja fixação será quem editou mais verbetes ou reverteu mais vandalismo, o que nem sempre é o mais eficiente para as pessoas terem acesso a recursos educacionais abertos de qualidade (ela não mencionou isso, apesar de mencionar sobre aprendizado), um dos temas mais importantes ao redor da Wikipédia, na minha opinião.

Leitura de discurso: houve a preocupação de ser politicamente correta ao falar de um movimento global, citando e linkando para três Wikipedias: a maior de todas, a da língua poética (francês) e uma minoritária aleatória, da Ásia.
Podia ser pior, podia ter ido no cliché de uma língua africana...
Ao menos na parte de dar atenção apenas ao projeto mais famoso e de marca registrada mais valio$a, parece que não existirão mudanças.
Ou seja, Commons seguirá ampliando apenas por ter a sorte de atender à Wikipedia (efeito colateral), Wikidata por iniciativa do capítulo da Alemanha e Wikisource por ter voluntários acostumados a lidarem com ausência de recursos em bibliotecas e arquivos e, com isso, transporem os mesmos esforços de mobilização para o projeto. Os demais seguirão no limbo atual.
Não que o discurso dela não indique coisas interessantes, nem que não tenha sido bom, mas quem esperava por algumas certas mudanças... rs Em 23/06/2014 18:05, "Everton Zanella Alvarenga" tom@okfn.org.br escreveu:
