Hi all,
2012 has been the second year that we have an international Wiki Loves
Monuments competition, and it is quite a ride! While we're not finished
yet with this years competition, it is probably good to look forward to
2013. A number of countries have indicated they would love to join next
year. Some who have already participated this year, some who will be
joining for the first time. Some who participated this year, but not to
the extent they would have liked to.
But for a smooth organization, we will need a dedicated volunteer team
for the international coordination. This year the team consisted from
Maarten (Multichill), Elke (Elya), Tomasz (Odder) and myself with the
valuable support of Barbara who was working from the Wikimedia
Deutschland office. At least a few of this team have indicated that they
are unlikely to help coordinate to the same level as this year.
Lets put it bluntly: without coordinating team, there will be no
international competition for Wiki Loves Monuments in 2013. So the
question is... are there any volunteers?
Maybe you wonder what this coordinating is all about. Most of it is
stuff that others will never see. Talking with network partners, keeping
track of status and documentation, a whole bunch of technical stuff in
tool- and database maintenance and also a lot of knowledge transfer to
local teams (chats, meetings, workshops). The time it costs can vary
widely, but should not be underestimated (I think a few hundred hours is
on the lower side). Of course the more skills and people, the less work
per person.
Would you be interested? Just drop me a note or ask some questions on
this list, in a chat or somewhere else. We don't need to make this
decision right now - but if we want another WLM international - we will
need to get started with budget requests pretty soon thanks to the more
complicated budget allocation rules we're facing. I'm happy to help get
that done - but only if I'm confident that there will be a great team
once again :)
I'm looking forward to any questions or emails on this topic.
Best,
Lodewijk (not on behalf of anyone)
