Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Announcement: A new structure for WMF Community Engagement
by Saroj Dhakal 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Hi Team, For your information . Thanks, Saroj ---------- फर्वाड गरिएका सन्देश ---------- प्रेषक: "Lila Tretikov" <lila(a)wikimedia.org> मिति: २०१५ फेब्रुअरी २० ०४:०३ विषय: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Announcement: A new structure for WMF Community Engagement प्रापक: <wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Dear Wikimedians, Among the WMF’s top priorities for 2015 is strengthening our engagement with Wikimedia editors and volunteers. Today we are taking the first step by bringing together the people who know our communities best and asking them to break barriers and improve engagement. Everyone at the WMF who carries responsibilities directly related to the communities will join a new Community Engagement department. I have asked Luis Villa to lead the Community Engagement organization as the Senior Director of Community Engagement, reporting to me. Promoting from within the WMF for this critical role will allow us to leverage the knowledge and experience with our communities and reinforce the strengths of our people. Luis’s experience with communities is lengthy and deep. He has been involved in open communities since the late 1990s, from communities as small as the Lego Mindstorms hackers to those as large as Mozilla. He worked in open communities as a lawyer, a programmer, a bugmaster, an engineering lead, a community leader, and a board member. Luis has performed exceptionally within the Foundation and supported some of our most fruitful community engagements. The Grantmaking, L&E, Education, Community Advocacy and Community Liaisons teams will join the new Community Engagement department [2] under his leadership. Unfortunately, Anasuya Sengupta -- our beloved leader of grantmaking -- will be leaving us due to personal health concerns at the end of March. We will invite you soon to celebrate her time with us, her work at the WMF and the deep insight she brought to the Foundation. We are saddened to see her go. The team she has nurtured will provide an important foundation for our upcoming work. Siko Bouterse will move up to lead the day-to-day work of the Grantmaking team as Director of Community Resources, supervising all department Grant programs and the Global South strategy. Siko has been instrumental in innovating programs at the WMF, including initiatives like the Teahouse[1] and the IdeaLab[2] combining vision with strong support for volunteer community, tough decision making, and great project management skills. These changes are an opportunity to improve the coordination of our work supporting the communities. To accelerate this, I have asked Luis to lead an internal “tiger” team to better understand the needs, concerns and priorities of our volunteers, and to develop recommendations for future programs. This work will be shared with all of you as it becomes available. Please join me in congratulating Luis and Siko and in supporting our teams. The Wikimedia communities are what makes the projects strong, unique, and irreplaceable. This is the next step forward in our support to them, and in service of our mission. ~~~~Lila [1] As Director of Community Resources, Siko will oversee the IdeaLab, Annual Plan Grants, Project and Event Grants, and Travel and Participation Support. Her team will include Katy Love, Winifred Olliff, Alex Wang, Janice Tud, Jonathan Morgan, and Asaf Bartov. Asaf will also take on a new title as Senior Program Officer, Emerging Wikimedia Communities. [2] Rachel DiCerbo, Philippe Beaudette, Siko, and Anasuya’s other direct reports, and their respective teams (CL, CA, and Grantmaking/GLEE) will report to Luis. The Engineering Community team will be part of the tiger team but will continue to report to Engineering.

Re: [Wikipedia-ne] Grant report reallocation
by Hempal Shrestha 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Dear Wikipedians, Wikimedians, Ganesh ji, Saroj ji and Working committee team members! As you must remember from my previous emails few months back, we had successfully completed the project grant awarded to us from the Wikimedia Foundation in 2013-14. The final project report ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/User:Ganesh_Paudel_-_Wikipedia_E…) was prepared with support from all Wikipedians and project activity leads from working comittee. Even-though, we have completed All the projected activities and submitted all the necessary report in time, the current status of this project report is open. It is due to unspent project grant amount sealed in the joint bank account of the signatories of the grantee (including myself). While finalizing the report, we seek for re-allocation of the unspent amount, as sending back the amount to the foundation, could itself be an challenge in our national banking context. To this request, the grants team, partially approved the re-allocation of some amount for the 12th Anniversary of Wikimedia in Nepal, which is now complete. As documented in the meta page here ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:PEG/User:Ganesh_Paudel_-_Wikipe… ) Now, we have been asked by the grants team, as what we would like to do with the remaining grant amount. Shall we seek for new grant reallocation or return the money. Please refer to Alex email below for detail. Please do share your views or ways to reach a decision. Also if there is any other Wikipedia Expansion activities that you might want to seek support for, lets discuss and seek grant team's approval in due time. I, as one of the signatory of the grant, would personally like to settle this matter and close the accounts as soon as possible. Looking forward to hear from the community! With kind regards, Hempal Shrestha G.P.O Box: 5501 1753 Ramshah Path, Near Nepal Share Market, Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Nepal +977-1-4261459 (O) / +977-9851077031(M) [image: --] Hempal Shrestha [image: http://]about.me/hempalshrestha <http://about.me/hempalshrestha> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alex Wang <awang(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 9:54 AM Subject: Grant report reallocation To: Hempal Shrestha <hempalshrestha(a)gmail.com>, Ganesh Paudel < gpaudel(a)gmail.com> Cc: PEG Grants <grants(a)wikimedia.org> Hi Ganesh and Hempal, I hope you are both doing well!

Re: [Wikipedia-ne] Nepali Wikipedia Information Desk @ CAN InfoTech

Dear All, As you all know, CAN InfoTech is being organized from January 28-February 02, 2015 in Brikhuti Mandap. This year also, the organizer have expected to have more than 400,000/- visitors in the CAN InfoTech. Along with the general mass, there will be high profile visitors as well including the Secretaries and other Academic officials. I personally find this to be a good platform to meet, interact and share about Nepali Wikipedia to general mass. From our experience in the past such Information Desk at the CAN SofTech 2014 and Nepal National Science Day 2014, general masses are not at all aware about the Existence of Nepali Wikipedia, leave alone about possibility to edit these Wikipedia by them or anyone in the world. Hence, I was wondering, if the Nepalese Wikipedian community will also be able to putup a Information Desk at the CAN InfoTech 2015. If, there is no objection to the idea and have some leading volunteers (say around 5-6 volunteers) to be in the information desk from January 27-Feburary 02, 2015, I will be happy to talk and request (if feasible) for an stall Nepali Wikipedians, (in Gratis ie. @ no Charge) from CAN InfoTech Organizing Committee. Normally these stall's minimum cost is Rs 35,000/- For more information about the CAN InfoTech 2015 visit the link: http://caninfotech.org.np/ Please do share your ideas, observation and objection if any to this possible effort. With kind regards, Hempal Shrestha G.P.O Box: 5501 1753 Ramshah Path, Near Nepal Share Market, Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Nepal +977-1-4261459 (O) / +977-9851077031(M) [image: --] Hempal Shrestha [image: http://]about.me/hempalshrestha <http://about.me/hempalshrestha>
