Join the new Movement Strategy Forum community review
by Quim Gil 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hello everyone, This is an invitation to all Movement Strategy participants and Wikimedians in general to try out a new platform for truly multilingual collaboration: Movement Strategy Forum - https://forum.movement-strategy.org/ We have started a community review <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/movement-strategy-forum-community-rev…> period of two months. If the community feedback is positive, the Forum will launch in August 2022 before Wikimania. If not, we will follow the feedback received, changing the proposal or closing it. We opened the Forum on May 24 with targeted outreach, hoping that the new site features would work. 😅 A week later, the Wikimedia login has been used by +200 users, the automatic translation is allowing speakers of different languages to discuss together, and we are ready to welcome more reviewers, testers, and other curious minds. We have just released the first weekly report <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/forum-weekly-report/387>. Looking forward to reading your first impressions in the next one! -- Quim Gil (he/him) Director of Movement Strategy & Governance @ Wikimedia Foundation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Qgil-WMF

Dear Wikimedians, The Movement Strategy and Governance Team is happy to announce that there will be another global conversations event on regional and thematic hubs on June 24, 25, and 26! There is a lot happening around regional and thematic hubs with different research and planning projects. The event is intended to be a space for sharing and learning between those that are already working on establishing a hub in their context. Participants are invited to share their hub work experiences and learn from each other. Ideally, clear next steps can be mapped out for the future development of hubs. Participants are also invited to discuss their hub piloting ideas. Some research and planning projects have been completed, which means that it is time to put some ideas into practice. Ideally, the event will help with mapping of considerations and concerns, to inform the future process. The event will take place in 3 iterations in different time zones to enable participation across the movement. Anyone interested in hubs’ discussion can choose the time most fitting for them. The times of the meetings are following: - Friday, June 24 - 11:00 - 13:00 UTC (in your time zone <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1656068431>) with simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, French, and Spanish - Saturday, June 25 - 16:00 - 18:00 UTC (in your time zone <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1656172831>) with simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, French, Spanish, and Portuguese (tbc) - Sunday, June 26 - 05:00 - 07:00 UTC (in your time zone <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1656219631>) without interpretation Registration for the event will start on June 10 and closes on June 23.

Hi all! I am Lalit from India. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in IT, currently working as a Software Developer at Redhunt Labs. I will be working on Extending the WikidataComplete plugin to enable data donations, recommendations, and gamification. My primary focus would be implementing a web service interface for data donations to help extend the Wikidata knowledge base. My mentors for the project are Dennis Diefenbach, Andreas Both, Aleksandr Perevalov, and Kunpeng GUO. I have learned a lot by interacting and contributing to the Wikimedia community, feeling special to get a chance to give something back to it. Thanks to my mentors and coordinators from Wikimedia for their continuos to support.

Wikimania 2022 local events (are you planning to attend?)
by Iolanda Pensa 27 May '22

27 May '22

Dear all I’m preparing a proposal for a Wikimania 2022 local event and it would be very useful to get some feedback from the community if people are interested in attending from other countries. Here you find the current list of proposals/drafts for Wikimania local events https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2022/Scholarships#Proposed_applic… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2022/Scholarships#Proposed_applic…> I am proposing Esino Lario - in the north of Italy above Lake Como, where Wikimania took place in 2016 - for a two-days festival in the weekend of August 13th and 14th, with a light program of activities (you find Esino among the draft applications). I am noticing that it is difficult to plan the activities/needs/budget without knowing if also people from other countries are interested; so I thought of posting here the list of locations. I think looking at the list is also a fun way to plan your holidays ;-) All the best Iolanda / iopensa
