Caros Wikimedianos,
Em primeiro quero manifestar o reconhecimento do esforço de análise e
preocupação com o assunto que o Gonçalo Themudo, e por extensão a
Direcção, revela no email enviado relativamente ao Acordo de Chapter
proposto pela WMF.
De facto, o Acordo de Chapter proposto parece proteger muito mais a
WMF do que o Chapter, o que é compreensível porque a WMF tem muito
mais a perder, incluindo as suas imagens de marca, do que qualquer um
dos Chapters, ou a grande maioria dos Chapters, incluindo o de Portugal.
Depois, é de admitir que o "Acordo de Chapter tipo" tenha vindo a ser
desenvolvido pelos juristas que apoiam e aconselham a WMF, sendo por
isso admissível que os termos desse tipo de acordo tenham evoluído ao
longo do tempo, sendo mais evidente essa evolução relativamente aos
Acordos de Chapter em vigor há mais tempo.
Quanto às questões colocadas no e-mail do Gonçalo, permito-me tecer os
seguintes comentários:
1. "WMF hereby recognizes ....", retirando a limitação da WMF
autorizar a criação de outro Chapter dentro da Focus Area. Julgo que
haverá "boa vontade" ("goodwill") de ambas as partes, e assim como do
lado do Chapter irá ser diligenciado o cumprimento dos termos do
Acordo, é de esperar que, estando este a ser cumprido, não haja
motivo/razão para que a WMF entenda necessário, ou conveniente, chegar
a Acordo com outro Chapter para a mesma Focus Area.
2. Chapter shall do business as " Wikimedia Portugal, an independent
organization for Wikimedia volunteers in Portugal", ......Não entendo
as preocupações manifestadas no e-mail, porque entendo a Wikimedia
Portugal como uma associação de voluntários e com finalidades não
lucrativas que procura prosseguir a Missão da Wikimedia. Este estatuto
não tem impedido os membros mas activos, (dentro do conhecimento e ok
da Direcção, suponho eu) de desenvolverem actividades em prol dos
objectivos e segundo as regras do movimento Wikimedia. Sem prejuízo de
verem ressarcidas as despesas em que incorreram, desde que previamente
autorizadas pela Direcção, mas mantendo o carácter de voluntariado. E
sem prejuízo de, em casos que venham a ser no futuro considerados
convenientes e necessários, contratação de profissionais para
desempenhar determinadas tarefas (Contabilidade, por exemplo), como
acontece na WMF e noutros Chapters. Aliás, quanto a este aspecto
propunha que a "tagline" fosse desenvolvida assim: "Wikimedia
Portugal, an independent AND NON-PROFIT organization for Wikimedian
volunteers in Portugal"
3. "The Foudation agrees....". Era melhor estar a explicitação do
apoio, mas, pelos vistos, em cada caso, tem se provar que se merece o
apoio.
4. "Exhibit B,2 ...". O uso das marcas ficar confinado às actividades
em Portugal. Julgo que seja compreensível. Se a Wikimedia Portugal,
ou algum/uns dos seus membros a actuar enquanto tal, pretender
desenvolver actividades noutros países (África, Ásia, etc), em áreas
onde não haja Chapters, a WMPT deverá obter o OK prévio da WMF.
5. "Exhibit B,2 ...". - Posso não estar a ver o alcance do problema.
Mas, por exemplo, será que a exibição de um poster plastificado, como
aconteceu nos "Dias do Software" no Seixal, implicaria a prévia
autorização exterior? Convirá esclarecer o que a WMF entende realmente
com esta regra, e em que circunstâncias se aplica. Mas também neste
aspecto, a grande questão é o tempo de resposta da WMF, e se o tempo
de resposta for aceitável, não vejo porque não hão-de ter conhecimento
prévio das actividades.
6. Fundraising - aprovação prévia? Aqui convirá esclarecer o que se
pretende efectivamente, qual o procedimento correcto.
7. Chapter governance reports. - O que diz o texto é que deve ser
pedido um relatório a UMA EMPRESA EXTERNA ao Chapter, mas não diz que
tem de ser uma Auditora internacional. Julgo que a Wikimedia Portugal
tem de ter contabilidade organizada e um Contabilista que assine as
suas contas. Mesmo que o relatório do Contabilista seja em português,
provavelmente a Direcção terá de efectuar a tradução (neste aspecto da
tradução posso dar uma ajuda). Assim, não vejo impossibilidade de
cumprimento desta regra, ainda que tenha eventualmente um custo
adicional.
8. Termination - sem comentário.
Gostava ainda de acrescentar porque não se continua a usar o acrónimo
WMPT em vez de apenas WMP, porque melhora a identificação e para
evitar eventuais confusões com as congéneres por exemplo de Paraguai,
Paquistão, Peru, Polónia.
Decidam, e estou confiante que o farão, para o melhor da Wikimedia Portugal.
Saudações,
Jorge Pires Gomes

like to get as many comments as possible)
Dear all,
Last 30 October, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) decided it needed more time
to evaluate the case of Wikimedia Portugal, it extended the suspension of
Wikimedia Portugal, and said that they must use the time that would
otherwise be the termination period for the Chapter Agreement between
Wikimedia Portugal and the Wikimedia Foundation, therefore giving notice of
termination of the Chapter Agreement. WMF also said that if Wikimedia
Portugal fully and completely resolved the issues described above and
otherwise remained compliant with its obligations as a chapter - which
happened, and the suspension was lifted - then WMF would sign a new chapter
agreement with Wikimedia Portugal. The current chapter agreement therefore
terminates this 31 January. On 25 January WMF sent us a new proposal of
Chapter Agreement for Wikimedia Portugal to sign. It can be seen here, side
by side with the current Chapter Agreement Wikimedia Portugal has with the
WMF:
https://pt.wikimedia.org/wiki/Utilizador:Alchimista/Chapter_Agreement
This new proposal differs in many ways from the Chapter Agreement currently
in place, and from the ones other chapters have signed (at least the ones
that are public) and we have several questions about it, so we would like
to ask the Wikimedia Portugal associates, other affiliates and the
Wikimedia community in general to help us by clarifying some of these
questions and weigh in on the advantages and disadvantages of continuing
being a WMF affiliate under these changed conditions.
We have also accordingly asked from the WMF a two month extension of the
current Chapter Agreement, to allow for proper discussion of their proposal.
Main concerns:
These are some of the main differences we found that are concerning us
(first in italic the current agreement, second in bold the new proposal)
-
“This Chapter is authorized to cover the geographic region of the
Portugal. The Foundation will not seek to create or authorize the creation
of any additional chapter within this geographic region. The Foundation
will not engage with other local organizations without consulting with the
chapter.” (Current CA) disappears entirely, and becomes “WMF hereby
recognizes Chapter as part of the Wikimedia movement supporting its Focus
Area.” (i.e. Portugal)
-
Chapter shall do business as “Wikimedia Portugal, an independent
organization for Wikimedia volunteers in Portugal”, irrespective of its
locally incorporated name. - this seems unique among chapters, and in
our view conflicts with the possibility of affiliates including both
volunteers and professionals, as well as both Wikimedians and people
otherwise engaged and interested in programs, such as teachers, librarians
and museologists. The tagline also seems cumbersome, awkward and we don’t
understand its purpose.
-
The Foundation agrees to support the activities of the Chapter and to
not engage in any activity that might negatively impact the work or image
of the Chapter. (This disappears in the current proposed agreement)
-
Exhibit B, 2. Approved use: Use of trademarks seems to be limited to the
geographic space of Portugal: “with respect to Chapter’s activities in
Portugal”. Does this mean that use in events, activities and
partnerships involving other countries (Wikimedia España, other Iberocoop
members, etc) requires a special authorization beforehand?
-
Exhibit B, 2. Approved use: “Promotion material that is not intended for
Wikimedia outreach activities or community-focused events as defined in the
Wikimedia Trademark Policy (which may be found at <
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trademark_policy >) are not
approved under this License and would require specific approval under
Section 3 below.” This one is a bit convoluted and even within our group
we have different understanding of what this means. Many of our present and
past activities include GLAM partnerships, photo contests, and conferences
not in “WikiCon” style. By following the link for the Trademark policy, it
is not clear if these activities are included in the definition of outreach
or if section 4 of the Trademark policy apply. This could mean that these
activities need a bureaucratic procedure defined as a permission in
writing (by physical mail or by an email to trademarks(a)wikimedia.org) to
use the Wikimedia Marks outside the scope of this License (“ Additional Use
”). Each such request must include: (1) reference to this agreement; (2)
attached samples of the proposed use; and (3) the date(s) and scope of the
proposed use. Bureaucratic procedures increase enormously from the
current situation, without giving any apparent advantage over non-affiliate
community members;
-
Use of the name and logo of Wikimedia Portugal in its fundraising
campaigns apparently must now be authorized beforehand (points 3.2 and 3.3
of the Trademark Policy
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trademark_policy )
-
Exhibit A, 5.4 Chapter governance reports: “Upon the request of WMF,
but no more than once per year, Chapter shall provide WMF with a report
analyzing the effectiveness of Chapter’s governance structures. The report
shall be prepared by a firm external to Chapter, and Chapter shall provide
WMF with a copy of the report written in or translated into English.” In
an organization with limited resources such as Wikimedia Portugal, having
to comply with such a request without providing the means to realize it
would most probably dictate its end. We would rather have it explicitly
state what conditions would trigger such a report, and that it would not be
a financial burden;
-
Termination: “The term of this agreement is one year and is
automatically renewed unless notice is given three months in advance by
either party.” (Current CA) becomes (7.1) “This Agreement will
automatically renew for additional 1-year terms (“ Renewal Term ”), unless
either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew 30 days
prior to the end of the Term or Renewal Term.” (7.2) “This Agreement may be
terminated by either party without cause upon 60 days written notice to the
other party.”
Thank you for your attention, and we appreciate any comment you might have.

Olá,
Na passada quarta feira reuni com a direcção do ISAL - Instituto Superior
de Administração e Línguas para avançarmos com a parceria que já tínhamos
apalavrado. Decidimos uma planificação nestes moldes:
- Fevereiro, durante as férias entre semestres - formação / acção de
divulgação junto dos professores
- Março - três workshops com alunos (por turma, pelo menos uma turma, c.
30 alunos) - 2 em edição, e um em Commons
A partir de Março o projecto desenvolve-se concretamente, com a melhoria e
construção de artigos em temas que façam sentido para o instituto, como as
freguesias da região, o património, arquitectura e monumentos e os parques
naturais. Também ficou combinada a participação do ISAL no Wiki Loves Earth
e no Wiki Loves Monuments.
As formações deverão ser asseguradas por mim e pelo Carlos Barradas.
Abraço,
Paulo
Olá pessoal
Meu nome é Walter Lippold e é um prazer conhecê-los. Sou historiador e professor de História. Estou acabando minha tese em Lisboa, precisava acessar a Biblioteca do Centro de Estudos Africanos. Tenho interesse e estudo história do Al Gharb Al Andaluz. Fui professor de Medieval por 5 anos no Brasil. Em Portugal fico em Alhandra, mas vou toda semana para Vila Real de Santo António. No Algarve participei de cursos e escavações sm Cacela Velha. Meu interesse é apoiar a produção de conhecimento livre sobre o Patrimônio Islâmico Medieval no Algarve. Já tenho uma fotógrafa que concordou em fazer imagens livres também.
Por todos estes elementos me inscrevi.
Um abraço,
Walter Lippold

Boa noite,
Conforme proposto na reunião sobre o plano de capacitação da WMPT com o
Asaf Bartov, a Wikimedia Portugal está a planear este ano fazer a
Assembleia Geral anual em conjunto com uma conferência nacional, com a
finalidade sobretudo de aproveitarmos a ocasião para nos conhecermos
pessoalmente, e ao mesmo tempo trocar ideias e ampliar as nossas
capacidades.
A data sugerida é o fim de semana após o 25 de Abril, não só por permitir
aproveitar a ponte, mas sobretudo por ser logo após a presença da Ana no
Wikimedia Summit e na formação para chairpersons, permitindo aproveitar
esses novos conhecimentos adquiridos logo quase no imediato.
Para ajudar no planeamento, e proporcionar um evento útil e que corresponda
do melhor modo às expectativas de todos, preparamos um pequeno
questionário/ sondagem: https://goo.gl/forms/0ZVLhpG3TIKfXLJc2
Por favor respondam assim que puderem, e ajudem-nos a planear um evento de
sucesso!
Abraço,
Paulo

Olá,
Agora que finalmente terminou a suspensão, e tudo está a voltar à
normalidade na WMPT, contactei o Asaf Bartov, tal como tinha ficado
combinado o ano passado, para trabalharmos um plano de capacitação da
associação.
O Asaf disse que pode reunir connosco idealmente na próxima segunda feira
14 de Janeiro ao fim do dia e, caso não seja possível, quarta ao fim do
dia, ou sexta a qualquer hora. O Asaf está em Israel, mais duas horas que a
hora de Portugal (GMT+2), por isso não convém ser muito tarde (max 10, 10 e
meia talvez).
Quem puder comparecer, por favor responda a esta mensagem com a vossa
disponibilidade (de preferência segunda ao fim da tarde / início da noite).
Abraço,
Paulo
