Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my report about the WikiWomen's Collaborative with
you. It's a project I developed as a way to engage and build community
around experienced and potential women editors and contributors to
Wikimedia projects. My fellowship ends this week, and I'll be writing a
blog about my experience. But, please do know: I am so grateful to
everyone who has been involved in the past year. Just knowing I had a
community of people to come to really means a lot - it's been an
emotional and remarkable experience. I'll be writing a more formal blog
about the past year, soon.

Here are my report:

The highlight for me is seeing that women involved in the Collaborative
started editing more than ever in September - the same time when the
project launched.

I hope you'll join us in the project and get involved:

I am moving back to volunteer status in regards to my gender gap work. I
am still doing public speaking, presentations and all the stuff that
goes with spreading word about the importance of women's involvement.
But, please do remember: I'm a volunteer again and have three jobs :)
If you're curious as to what I'm up to right now:
-I'm serving as US OpenGLAM Coordinator for the Open Knowledge Foundation
-I'm doing a Wikipedian in Residency at the World Digital Library
-I also run my own consulting firm where I work with public and private
clients around the world doing museum curatorial work, marketing,
lecturing, blahblahblah.
I'm also hoping I can do some more projects with Wikimedia, so we'll see!!
Thank you again for all of the support this list has given me. I am
indebted.
In wikilove,
Sarah
