by Xeno (Jack) 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

Hello, I'm one of the facilitators with the Movement Strategy and Governance team. Thanks for having me on this mailing list. I'd like to invite you to an upcoming *Global Conversation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs/Global_Conversation…>* about Hubs <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs> on 12 March at 13:00 UTC. Hubs are being explored as a way to help coordinate support for communities. Please see the full invitation below. ------------------------------ *You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs/Global_Conversation…>* *More languages <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs/Global_Conversation…> • Please help translate to your language <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-H…>* Hello! The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs/Documentation/27_No…>), but we're not finished yet. Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs/Dialogue>). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9. The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. *More information on the event on Meta-wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Hubs/Global_Conversation…>*. Best regards, Kaarel Vaidla <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:KVaidla_(WMF)> Movement Strategy ------------------------------ Please let me know if you have any questions.

Fwd: Saturday Feb 5: ONLINE Met Afrofuturist edit-a-thon (and monthlong campaign)
by Pharos 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

We wanted to share this project with US affiliates, and with regional Wikimedians generally. The edit-a-thon is "live" for its launch Saturday starting at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific, and runs for two hours. However, it includes a monthlong campaign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAfrofuturist Though the art exhibition is in part about the specific African American history of New York City, it also ties into national and global art and culture of the African diaspora. As well as viewing the livestream, we'd also welcome people to join the Discord channel for this edit-a-thon on the Wikimedia NYC server all month long. Would also welcome more events to be listed at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Black_WikiHistory_Month#February_20… Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Pharos <pharosofalexandria(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Feb 3, 2022 at 1:09 PM Subject: Saturday Feb 5: ONLINE Met Afrofuturist edit-a-thon (and monthlong campaign) To: New York City Wikimedians <wikimedia_nyc(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wiki-Yorkers, You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for a virtual Metropolitan Museum of Art edit-a-thon Saturday afternoon (12-2pm) with partners AfroCROWD and Black Lunch Table. To join the livestream from your computer or smartphone, just watch at the YouTube link below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAfrofuturist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUx7YltS598 (livestream at 12-2pm Saturday) Our focus will be on the exhibition Before Yesterday We Could Fly inspired by Seneca Village, and featured art, artists, history and culture of the African diaspora. https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2021/afrofuturist-period-room We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person! We are also running a Met Afrofuturist chat channel on our Wikimedia NYC Discord server for the whole monthlong campaign, you can join here and get help with working on articles on these topics together: https://discord.gg/gqSFqrY7bS Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
