Hi all,
I also support using WMF hosting - I believe unified login will boost
participation in the long term.

M.

Hello everyone,
I have been asked to forward the below message to you all about the
WikiIndaba community engagement survey (not to be confused with
Wikimania). Sorry for the tardiness on our side in sending this through to
you. There was a misunderstanding about the request to share this with
everyone.
Douglas.

*Subject:* Wiki-Indaba 2019 Community Engagement Survey
Dear community members,
The deadline for the Wiki-Indaba 2019 Community Engagement Survey has been
shifted from August 3rd to August 17th, 2018. This is because the response
to the survey was pretty low and we want to better understand what the
community expects from the local organizing committee. If you have filled
the survey, please prevail on other community members to do the same, if
you have not, the survey takes less that three (3) minutes to fill, please
do so now.
Please find below a link to the Wiki-Indaba 2019 Community Engagement
Survey.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s7wvhWn1nqI_eFE1eww1Jl9gwD4VZq0nrrTz9TNJeo…
Please fill the survey before *Friday August 17th *so we can better
understand your preferences for Wiki Indaba 2019.
Thank you.

Hello everyone,
I mentioned in my previous email that the Wikimedia Foundation would be
sending out a few survey's following our hosting of Wikimania 2018 in Cape
Town last month. If you attended Wikimania in Cape Town this year then we
would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to fill out this
survey. This should be the 'main' or most significant survey that the
Foundation will be sending out to measure the impact of Wikimania this
year.
Best regards,
Douglas.

Greetings!
We hope you all have arrived home from Wikimania safe and sound! Please
fill out our survey to provide your feedback and reactions to the 2018
Wikimania in Cape Town.

This survey is for research evaluation purposes and will help conference
organizers reflect on the effectiveness and impact of the event. The
results will be used to improve future Wikimania conferences and other
large movement events. Only the survey administrator on the Learning &
Evaluation team at the Wikimania Foundation will have access to the email
address connected to the response. Results will be anonymized before being
shared with the conference organizers and an anonymous summary report will
be published to Metawiki.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses! The survey should take
about 10 to 15 minutes of your time and the link will be available until
Friday, 17 August.
This survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to
additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see

Hello everyone,
Now that Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town is now over the Foundation will be
sending out a few (I trust it will be less than 3) surveys out to measure
the impact of the event on those of us who attended.
The first one has been shared with me and I have been asked to share it
with all of you. This one is asks about the designs and visual identity of
the conference (logos, presentation layouts, signs, ect). If you attended
Wikimania 2018 then I encourage you to please fill it out.
You can take the survey here:

Douglas.
