FYI. A. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nicole Ebber &lt;nicole.ebber(a)wikimedia.de&gt; Date: Fri, Jul 29, 2016 at 3:30 AM Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Our Visiting Wikimedian initiative #wmcon To: wikimediaannounce-l &lt;WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Hi all, Following up on our Wikimedia Conference report 2016[1], we have now published more information about our “Visiting Wikimedian” initiative that we kicked-off with Teele Vaalma from Wikimedia Eesti this year. This initiative aims to transfer practical knowledge from the German chapter to other Wikimedia movement affiliates and provides us with an outside view. Teele wrote a blog post on the movement blog, describing her time in Berlin and her work to support us in organising the conference. It’s really worth a read, as she provides insights into cross chapter exchange and knowledge transfer.[2] We have also set up a page (on Meta!) that describes the pilot that we started this year. We would like to continue this for the Wikimedia Conference 2017 and now start looking for the next Visiting Wikimedian.[3] We are especially looking for a person who can apply the knowledge to an upcoming event, for example if the affiliate is hosting a regional or international conference. If you are interested in becoming a Visiting Wikimedian, please reach out to me directly until mid September. A special thanks goes out to Wikimedia Eesti for being so supportive of the idea and to Teele for doing such an awesome job!
