Hi everyone,
So far we have had 9 responses to this scheduling poll. If you haven't had the chance to fill it out yet, please do so:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFgg57u-If_e6ELjWI3GTp_DSBrVg-iyd…
The poll was created to find the preferred time for our monthly phone/video meeting.
Currently, the most popular time is the second Wednesday of the month at 1pm. I think it makes sense to accept responses through Friday - if anyone objects to this, let me know.
Thank you!
Esther
PS: I will be sending around another email about strategic planning feedback by the end of the day.

Hello!
I am happy to inform you that I am the first Wiktionarian in Residence, for the French-speaking Wiktionnaire, and thus to join the WREN family.
This is a full-time position for the year 2020, in a university, to participate in an ongoing project called Dictionnaire des francophones, funded by the French Ministry of Culture. This residency, co-funded by Wikimedia France, has several objectives:
- Repair some old templates and document them to facilitate the reuse of Wiktionary content.
- Reorganize some aspects of the content
- Enrich the content with regional uses of French around the world.
- Support the activities of the university and in particular of the host, the International Institute for Francophony<https://2if.universite-lyon.fr/>, a part of the University Lyon 3, based in Lyon, France.
In a personal way, my nickname is Sebleouf, and I contribute on Wikimedia projects since 2006, mainly on the French Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata. I'm also involved in other free projects (especially Open Food Facts<https://world.openfoodfacts.org/>). I will contribute with a dedicated account, Seb en Résidence (2IF)<https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Seb_en_R%C3%A9sidence_(2IF)>; here is the page in the French Wiktionary<https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Projet:Wiktionnariste_en_r%C3%A9sidence/en> (in English).
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!

Subject: Movement strategy end of year update and next steps
[External E-Mail: Verify source before clicking on any links or opening any attachments.]
Dear Strategy Liaisons,
Hello and happy December! Nicole has shared some recent updates on wikimedia-l and Wikimedia Space [1] [2] that I wanted to bring to your attention. These are about the progress in the movement strategy process as we approach the end of the year. Here below, I also have some Strategy Liaison specific updates for you and your affiliate community. :)
tl;dr: We're preparing for a final round of community conversations around a synthesized set of draft recommendations early next year. In the meantime, recommendations’ writers and our team of contracted Strategy Liaisons have been hard at work integrating your ideas and feedback into these recommendations. Thank you, for all of your contributions!
What's New?
The recommendations writers have been working to consolidate the 89 recommendations produced by the working groups. They recently met in Berlin for an in-person session to produce a synthesized recommendations document which will be shared for public comment early next year.
What's Next?
As Strategy Liaisons, I will be reaching out to you to help engage your affiliate communities in discussing this new synthesized version and helping the recommendation writers as well as the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees understand how they will affect your community and what final changes should be made before going forward. Your input in helping us refine and advance key ideas will be invaluable, and we are looking forward to engaging with you for a period of roughly six weeks, starting some time between January and February (more information to come).
What Can I Do Until Then?
In the meantime, you can help the movement strategy process by reaching out to your affiliate communities, sharing with them this process update, and brainstorming how you would like to meet and discuss the final draft recommendations when they are released next year. We hope that you will also help share the news about our upcoming community conversations, and convey our deep appreciation for the hard work, thoughtful responses, and creative ideas that have been have shared so far, whether through your strategy salons, joining us at global and regional events, joining online conversations, or sending in notes from affiliate discussions. We couldn't do this without you, and hope that you will enjoy seeing your input reflected in the next draft and final recommendations.
Anything Else?
On a final note, please also take a look at the Wikimedia Space discussions [3] hosted by our community-based team of contracted Strategy Liaisons. Rupika (Hindi), Anass (Arabic), Diane (French), Lucas (Portuguese), and Francesc (Spanish) have produced compelling blog pieces - in multiple languages - about their role as Strategy Liaisons what they've learned, and (coming soon) summaries of input from each language community. We welcome you to read and share their work, as well as to comment and ask questions as a way to deepen your involvement.
That's it for now, and we wish you an enjoyable remainder of 2019! You can expect to hear from me again with more information about next steps in early 2020.
Warmly,
Kelsi

Hi everyone,
I am writing to ask if we are eligible to send a representative to the Wikimedia Summit 2020, and also what the process is for selecting and registering that person. I am new to the WREN group since the last summit and not familiar with the process. Thank you for your guidance!
Best,
Esther

Hi all
Wikimedia Sverige has a small grants application open for people in the
Global South who are interested in events and other projects with GLAMs.
Please do pass this on to people you think would be interested or suitable
for a grant. The projects need to be completed by February 29, 2020.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FindingGLAMs/Minor_grants
FindingGLAMs can fund events that improve the quality and quantity of data
related to galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs) and other
cultural institutions on Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects. This could
include, for example, events to train librarians to add information to
Wikidata, research events with historical societies to find lists of
cultural institutions in your country, transcription projects for
Wikisource etc. The focus of the project is making more material available
on the Wikimedia platforms rather than creating new material (such as by
purchasing scanning equipment and digitizing books).
Funds can not be used to cover the event participants’ time or lost income
from other work. Applications to cover trainers’ or organisers' time or
lost income from other work have to be filed with and transferred through a
local Wikimedia affiliate.
Best
