Dear all,
Wikimedia Nederland has been granted project funding for the project
Wikipedia on Aruba, which entails a Wikimedian in Residence role for the
island of Aruba which is part of the Caribbean part of the Netherlands. The
Wikimedian in Residence will work with our local cultural heritage partners
towards the projects main goal of encouraging and supporting a thriving and
sustainable Wikimedia community in Aruba, focused on documenting and
sharing Aruban culture and heritage through Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons
and Wikidata.
We are currently setting up the project, and I was wondering about two
things you might be able to help me out with:
* Is this the first Wikimedian in Residence role located in the Caribbean?
* do you have any current job offer descriptions for WiRs you might be able
to share with me to help us draft?
I look forward to hearing from you, thank you so much for getting back to
me!
Kind regards,
Michelle van Lanschot
Projectleider

Dear WREN,
Creative Commons is inviting Wikimedians-in-Residence to an Open Space
workshop at Wikimania this year, on 10 August from 15:30-16:55 (local time
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240810T133000&p…>
).
https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/J7WKFC/
Wikimedians-in-Residence are frontrunners for the Open Culture movement
which we can all learn from and find ways to support and collaborate with.
As facilitators Creative Commons will propose a number of topics for small
group discussion, learning and exploration, mainly around copyright
licensing and rights clearance as well as attribution and giving credit to
collections institutions.
Participants are invited to contribute in the moment with additional
subjects for discussion and exploration. This can be subjects of importance
to individuals, or specific groups as well. Each discussion will be
harvested using a template to highlight and gather key points for future
use.
To ensure broad engagement and participation over the 85min session the
activity will be divided into two rounds so that participants have an
opportunity to discuss and engage on at least 2 topics.
If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to
meeting some of you in Katowice next week.

Best,

Hello everyone
Wikimania is around the corner so maybe time to organize ourselves a bit ?
First our session is on the 09th of August at 16h15 in Lviv room
Link to the session : *https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/UHKQTV/

1. I have sent invitations to a bunch of you ,to be co-authors. Only two
of you have approved so far. Please, if you want to be actively
involved, ask me to send you an invitation or approve the one you may
have received
2. I would like a co-founder or an ancient member confortable with the
idea to present the WREN UG. Who should that be ?
I noted that the WREN was not compliant (no report in 2023). But in
2022, the reporters were Andrew Lih and Bluerasberry. If you guys are
the UG contacts, it would be good to have one of you two do a small
presentation ?
3. Then it would be nice if all of you could drop on this document :
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19ilvxWH9M2cHYwKTzTSDUje3Ngs2kprPBjEwUoM…
Either questions to ask, or key points that you would like to talk about.
Last, this is the link to last year session for reference :
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program/GLAM,_Heritage,_and_Cultu…
And the pad : https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WDZBPN
Of course, we can probably expect that the GLAM event on the 06th will
feed this session.

PS: is there a volunteer to do 2023 report ? (not me... I am already
doing it for other groups)
