Dear all, With Wikimania 2025 fast approaching, I'm delighted to share an excellent resource that came out of Wikimania 2024.
The report <https://openfuture.eu/publication/open-movements-commons-causes/> from the Common(s) Causes day zero event has been published. The report maps current threats and opportunities facing the open movement. It is based on the ongoing work of the organizations behind the Common(s) Cause event: Creative Commons, Open Knowledge Foundation, Open Future, and Wikimedia Europe (in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation). All of the findings are highly relevant to your work as Wikimedians interested in policy advocacy. One that stood out in particular: the call for a shared advocacy agenda, which could help ensure that Knowledge Commons are treated and sustained as critical digital infrastructures. The report identifies opportunities such as: 1. (Re)defining openness in a new technological era. 2. Creation of a shared advocacy strategy and enhanced regional and thematic cooperation across the organizations. 3. Developing and testing governance approaches for our digital commons. 4. Advancing openness and sustainability for the technology, data, content, and governance of Digital Public Infrastructure. Thank you to our friends in the open movement for hosting such an important event at Wikimania and for bringing us together! Enjoy the read and resources. Best, Ziski Franziska Putz (she/her) Senior Movement Advocacy Manager Global Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation [email protected] UTC Timezone
