Dear colleagues,
WMF is now seeking fellowship applicants and project ideas for the Community Fellowships Program http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Fellowships. Community members from all Wikimedia projects and all languages are strongly encouraged to apply by the deadline of January 15th 2012! Could you please help spread the word by sharing this open call in your communities?
Wikimedia Community Fellows are spearheading community projects, undertaking research, and piloting new models for engagement to help scale and increase sustainability of volunteer work in the Wikimedia movement. The Foundation provides intensive, time-limited financial and logistical support for fellows to focus on projects of strategic importance. Submissions for Spring 2012 are encouraged to focus on the theme of improving editor retention and increasing participation in Wikimedia Projects.
If you'd like to work with WMF on projects to boost participation and retention, or know someone who should be recommended for a fellowship, or if you've got ideas for a fellowship project WMF could support, we'd like to hear from you! Please visit http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Fellowships, or contact Siko Bouterse at sbouterse@wikimedia.org for more information.
(Note: I'll be circulating on other lists as well, including some chapter mailing lists, in hopes of reaching a broad range of applicants - apologies in advance for cross-posting!)
Best regards,

Well, is on the page: "*A fellowship is a temporary position at the Wikimedia Foundation in order to work on a specific project or set of projects. Fellowships can be awarded for periods as short as 2 months and as long as 12 months. Duration is determined by the scope of the fellow's project.*"
Being a "Community" Fellow means that your project falls into the Community Department of WMF.
In a nutshell: If anyone wants to apply for, they need a project to help the community (not necessary to be the Global one) until 15 Jan and this project need to be approved by WMF. _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484
