[Gendergap] Show Wikimedia some love: Let's Talk Diversity

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all,

(Pardon the cross-posting)

Starting today, we want to show Wikimedia some love in a very special way:
talking about diversity! [1]

Diversity in Wikimedia projects is key to achieve our shared vision: that
anyone can contribute in the sum of all knowledge. We know many efforts
have been made to bridge many gaps.

Have you:

* preserved your cultural or national history through photo contests and
editing events?

* worked to enrich a particular language or cultural group on Wikimedia?

* studied diversity issues in online communities?

_What have you learned when trying to encourage diversity on Wikimedia?_

The Learning and Evaluation team invites all community members to share
what they know about bringing diversity on Wikimedia projects. This
initiative seeks to create a body of knowledge around diversity outcomes
for events, projects and programs, in a way to give support to
Grantmaking’s Inspire Campaign  (coming up the first week of March). If you
worked to make Wikimedia projects more diverse, in content or community, what
has worked for you? what has not worked? Share what you know with the world!

There are multiple ways to engage:

1. Share a problem

2. Share a solution

3. Endorse problems and solutions to vote them up in importance

4. Writing a Learning Pattern (that addresses any of the problems/solutions
shared)

We will be awarding our brand new L&E Barnstars[2] to contributors during
this special campaign =)

Visit the campaign page [1] to contribute and discuss, and if you are
twitter user, use #ILoveDiversity to promote the campaign for others to
participate.


Happy editing!

[Gendergap] What does a healthy community look like to you?

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all,
The Community Engagement department has launched a new learning campaign[1]
to gather community impressions about what makes a healthy community
online. Users can contribute by answering one of six questions[2] or
submitting a drawing.

*Why take part in this campaign?*
The world is changing. The way we relate to knowledge is transforming. As
the next billion people come online, the Wikimedia movement is working to
bring more users on the wiki projects. The way we interact and collaborate
online are key to building sustainable projects. How accessible are
Wikimedia projects to newcomers today? Are we helping each other
learn? Share your views on this matter that affects us all!

We invite everyone to take part in this learning campaign. Wikimedia
Foundation will distribute one Wikimania Scholarship 2016 among those
participants who are eligible.

I thought this topic could be of special interest to those of you working
to close the gender gap, because so many of these topics are on your daily
discussions. Your views in this campaign would be highly appreciated =)

*Go to campaign page.*


Happy editing!

[Gendergap] We need your input: Building a shared vision of “Leadership”

[Maria Cruz]

*TL:DR: The Community Engagement department invites you to participate in
the Leadership Development Dialogue now through October 16th [1]*


Hello there,

One of the really valuable, parts of our community, is the growing number
of volunteers who step beyond their comfort zone, and become guides,
mentors, and leaders for other parts of the volunteer community. This act
of emerging, to take on responsibilities that strengthen our community is
widespread, but also something that we need to embrace, refine and improve,
so that we have the capacity to meet our broader mission.

>From now through October 16th, the Community Engagement department invites
you to participate in an online dialogue about just how to describe and
build the leadership capacity. Please invite all who may be interested by
forwarding to your local community mailing lists, and be sure to join us
at: [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/
Leadership_Development_Dialogue

In particular, we need your help:

   -

   Improving the “Learning Days” and other leadership development programs
   supported by the WMF and other organizations
   -

   Refining the language and concepts we use to describe “leadership” -- in
   our initial exploratory engagement of focus groups, we found that the word
   “leader” does not translate well across language and cultures.


In behalf of the Community Engagement department, we hope to see you on the
wiki!

[Gendergap] Introducing the Wikimedia Resource Center

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all,

As we have stated in our annual plan [1], “currently, community members
must search many pages and places to stay informed about Foundation
activities and resources.” We have worked in the past two quarters to
create a single point of entry. We call it the Wikimedia Resource Center,
and its alpha version is now live on Meta Wikimedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Resource_Center

As the movement expands to include more affiliates and more programmatic
activities every year, newer Wikimedians are faced with lack of experience
in the movement and its various channels for requesting support. In order
to expand Wikimedia communities’ efforts, we want to provide easy access to
resources that support their very important work. The [[m:Wikimedia
Resource Center]] is a hub designed in response to this issue: it is
intended to evolve into a single point of entry for Wikimedians all over
the world to the variety of resources and types of staff support they may
need to develop new initiatives or also expand existing ones.

This version of the Resource Center is only the beginning. For phase two of
the project, we will enable volunteer Wikimedians to add resources
developed by other individuals or organizations to the Wikimedia Resource
Center, and in phase three, the Wikimedia Resource Center will include
features to better connect Wikimedians to other Wikimedians that can
support them.

We want to hear what you think about this prototype and our plans for it!
If you have comments about the Wikimedia Resource Center, you can submit
your feedback publicly, on the Talk Page, or privately, via a survey hosted
by a third party, that shouldn’t take you more than 4 minutes to complete.
A feedback button is on the top right corner on every page of the hub.

Looking forward to more collaborations!

Best,

María

Hi Peter,
I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean by projects? The
Wikimedia projects? The projects addressing the gender gap?

Please let me know so I can best respond.

Cheers,

Re: [Gendergap] Introducing the Wikimedia Resource Center

[Maria Cruz]

Hi Isla, Peter,
thank you for your feedback! I have had similar comments on the talk page
of WRC [1], and I am looking into including a link to the WRC on Meta home
page or on the sidebar, even. This will require a conversation with
community members; I will reach out to you again when we actually start
working on that (maybe around July this year), in case you would like to
and are able to support.

Best,

María

Sounds great, Pine! Thank you so muhc for offering your help. Yes,
community-led is the approach we were thinking of. I'll send a special
email about this in a few weeks.

Re: [Gendergap] Introducing the Wikimedia Resource Center

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all,

Last January we announced the roll out of the Wikimedia Resource Center,
[1] a hub intended as a single point of entry for Wikimedians all over the
world to the variety of resources and types of Wikimedia Foundation staff
support they may need to develop new initiatives or expand existing ones.
The Wikimedia Resource Center’s beta version is now live on Meta Wikimedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Resource_Center

The redesign of the hub was informed by user-testing sessions at the
Wikimedia Conference 2017 in Berlin and feedback gathered on the talk page
of the hub. We have ordered resources by user types to make them easier to
navigate, and now all Wikimedians can add resources developed by
themselves, other individuals or organizations to the hub. The next step
for the Wikimedia Resource Center is to include features that will enable
Wikimedians to better connect with other Wikimedians that can support them.


We are currently performing more testing and working to incorporate a link
to the Wikimedia Resource Center from different community spaces, and it
will be presented at Wikimania 2017 in Montréal. If you are interested in
taking part in this conversation, please contact me, and if you are coming
to Wikimania, join our session [2] to discuss how we best learn from each
other in the Wikimedia movement.

We want to hear what you think about this new version and would like to
also invite you to submit your comments about it privately, via direct
email to me, or publicly on the talk page.

We’d like to thank Nirzar Pangarkar, Carolyn Li-Madeo and Volker Eckl,key
allies in bringing the new design to life, for all their support in this
project! Also a shout-out goes to James Hare, our technical design intern,
who has done great work of processing all the documentation on the WRC,
understanding its history and goal, and creating amicable interfaces for
contributors.

We are looking forward to more collaborations!

Best,

María

[Gendergap] What does leadership mean in the Wikimedia movement? Presentation on Thursday, Nov 16

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all!

Since July 2016 [1], the Learning and Evaluation team has been invested in
understanding what leadership means in our movement, and how we can best
support it. On Thursday, November 16 at 9 am PST (1700 UTC), we will host a
public meeting to share what we have learned so far, and how we have been
working to support community leaders. Follow the stream here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbg2w0RnFk and ask questions via IRC
(#wikimedia-office).

The first step was the Leadership Development Dialogue, a conversation
about what leadership means for our communities, and how the Wikimedia
Foundation can best support it. It was hosted by the Learning and
Evaluation team, part of the Community Engagement department.

The conversation touched on topics like what words best suited this area of
work, and also what skills identified a good leader, and how we could best
collaborate across the movement to provide support within our existing
infrastructures (e.g., Learning Days [2] and the Wikimedia Resource Center
[3]) and beyond.

What does this mean to your local community and your work? How can you join
these efforts?

Join us to learn more about what we have learned from community members
about leadership in the movement, and where we want to go next.
Participation is encouraged via IRC (#wikimedia-office). A recording of the
event will be available later on our youtube channel.

Hope to see many of you there!

Best,

[Gendergap] Women in the Wikimedia movement: Conversations with communities

[Maria Cruz]

*Hi everyone, In honour of Women’s History Month, the Community Engagement
department is hosting a series of conversations with community members
about Women in the Wikimedia movement
,
and what their experience is like contributing to our projects. Our
conversations will focus on women within three strategic areas of our work:
Programs, Technical Spaces, and Leadership positions. Each conversation
will have two community members presenting on their work, and 15-20 minutes
at the end for conversation, follow up questions, and discussion. The goal
of these discussions is to foster understanding of challenges and
inequalities that women face throughout our movement, and to engage with
our communities to help better address them.These conversations will be
online events, streamed on YouTube, and hosted on BlueJeans. If you would
like to participate in these events, please add the event to your calendar,
or sign up on wiki: - Women in Wikimedia programs: Thursday, March 8, 2018,

Presenters: Monika Sengul-Jones (OCLC Wikipedian in Residence) and Luisina
Ferrante (Wikimedia Argentina education coordinator). - Women in
leadership: Wednesday, March 14, 2018, 19:00 UTC (add to calendar

series interesting, I would greatly appreciate your support spreading the
word. Please feel free to invite anyone you think might have something to
add to the conversations. I look forward to seeing many of you online!Best,
