Dear colleagues,

WMF is now seeking fellowship applicants and project ideas for the Community
Fellowships Program <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Fellowships>.
Community members from all Wikimedia projects and all languages are
strongly encouraged to apply by the deadline of January 15th 2012!  Could
you please help spread the word by sharing this open call in your
communities?

Wikimedia Community Fellows are spearheading community projects,
undertaking research, and piloting new models for engagement to help scale
and increase sustainability of volunteer work in the Wikimedia movement.
The Foundation provides intensive, time-limited financial and logistical
support for fellows to focus on projects of strategic importance.
Submissions for Spring 2012 are encouraged to focus on the theme of
improving editor retention and increasing participation in Wikimedia
Projects.

If you'd like to work with WMF on projects to boost participation and
retention, or know someone who should be recommended for a fellowship, or
if you've got ideas for a fellowship project WMF could support, we'd like
to hear from you!  Please visit
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Fellowships, or contact Siko
Bouterse at sbouterse at wikimedia.org for more information.

(Note: I'll be circulating on other lists as well, including some chapter
mailing lists, in hopes of reaching a broad range of applicants - apologies
in advance for cross-posting!)

Best regards,

--

Head of Community Fellowships
