As we mentioned last month, the Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve.
Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list,[2] and posted on Meta-Wiki.[3] Each month, we are sending overviews of these updates to this list as well.
Here is a overview of the updates that have been sent since our message last month:

Dear Community
In the past recent years , we have been continuously featuring known
Wikimedians on our platform.
But this time , we have come across a contributor who we feel that if we
don't highlight his work, it will be an injustice to his contributions.
Keeping his request in mind, we have decided not to reveal his name or
photo. The only thing which we can reveal is his Username
*User:SM7*
User:SM7
<https://bh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B…>,
the silent *anonymous* poster boy for Bhojpuri and Hindi Wikipedia has been
working since 2011 with over 59,000 global edits
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/SM7> without any
recognition. He would have continued to be an unsung hero with his awesome
work for the flourishment of Wikipedia for no one knows how long, if we
would not have discovered his work recently. He is a sysop on Hindi and
Bhojpuri Wikipedia where he is continuously working to bring new
contributors and quality contents. User:SM7 is a teacher by profession
based somewhere in Uttar Pradesh. Writing on region and geographical
features are one of the favourite topics of User:SM7.
User:SM7 came to know about Wikipedia while searching something on Google,
it was then he noticed that there is a link to Bhojpuri Wikipedia on the
sidebar of the article page he was looking at on English Wikipedia. Like
others, he was excited when he found Wikipedia on his native language and
started contributing to it by creating & improving articles. Although he
invests a lot of time for the growth of Wikipedia, he always prefers to
stay anonymous, he says, "I wanted to be judged only by my contributions on
wiki and the way I take part in discussions etc. NOT by information based
on what I do in real life, or where I live, or what my educational
qualifications are."
