[Wikimania-l] So how much Wikimania costs to the movement?

[Itzik - Wikimedia Israel]

This is not my first email about this issue, but I really think it's really
important. Wikimania is the highest expense for our movement. From the
conference production cost, WMF scholarships, chapter scholarships and WMF
and chapters delegations - amounts that is almost one million dollar, if
not more.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania


Wikimania 2012-2013 budgets were been published but still consider as
draft:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget

If the conference organization leader can be please approve this numbers
and remove the draft template - it will be great.

WMCH, Affcom, WMAR and WMDE are welcome to complete their information
regarding their delegations and scholarships given by them.

For 2014 - we don't have any data. Not conference budget, not scholarships
and not chapters numbers. Edward - your help will be welcome.
I personally asked my ED to complete the information for WMIL, and I
welcome others to do so as well.

Ellie and the Wikimania committee - there is something we can do in order
to take care for this pages to be update yearly?


Thank you everyone!

Re: [Wikimania-l] Video recording of Wikimania sessions

[Itzik - Wikimedia Israel]

Guillaume, yes, it's nice to have video recording for all Wikimania session
- but the question if someone watching them, to worth the money, time and
resources.

Wikimedia Israel in Wikimania 2011 invest a lot of money to record
everything, time and resources to edit the videos (you need to transfer
them for all the cameras, convert them) and time (and a huge bandwidth) to
upload all of them. It's a lott of resources just for few hundreds
people will watch the videos.  To be honest? I don't think it worth that..

 Hello,

 First of all, I want to congratulate and thank the Wikimania organizing
 team
 for putting together one of the best-organized Wikimanias I've attended.
 It's
 easy to only notice the problems, so I wanted to call out the great work
 explicitly.

 My main disappointment this year is that many sessions seem to go
 unrecorded.
 In previous years, I seem to recall that videos for most sessions were
 recorded, and sometimes even streamed live. It sometimes took months for
 the
 videos to be processed and uploaded to Commons or other video hosting
 sites,
 but the videos existed. If the session isn't taped at all, then the record
 is
 lost forever.

 We have a lot of talented presenters giving insightful talks and generating
 great discussions, but only for the benefit of the small subset of our
 community that's present in the room. If we can't share what happens at
 Wikimania with our larger community, it seems like a missed opportunity for
 our movement. Even for Wikimania attendees, when there are up to 8
 simultaneous tracks, it's easy to miss sessions you're interested in.

 I realize it's probably too late to do anything for this year's Wikimania,
 but
 I'd like to start a discussion about making video recordings of all
 sessions
 (not just a selection of them) a requirement for upcoming Wikimania bids.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Local Sim cards?

Hey,

From my own research, I understood that there are several data plans in
Mexico:
http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Mexico

Movistar for example can be purchased at the airport (but the store in open
until 8PM, and I landing after :\).

It seem like it can be also purchased from their website, but I didn't
tried yet if they accept international credit cards:

 But, Ivan, is it so difficult to get a sim card of a standard provider,

 Telcel offers prepaid plans of 1 GB for around 160 Pesos (~10 €) for 30
 days and you don't even need to show an ID. Is something wrong with that?

 European providers charge fortunes for mobile internet in countries

 Hi Itzik. Unfortunately in Mexico it's not common or easy have SIM cards
 with data plans as other countries. It's necessary go direct to the mobile

 We can give you a list of offices where you can go and buy with a cost
 of 3 USD. Or will be better have activated previously a traveller plan from

Re: [Wikimania-l] [Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2016 - Jury Announcement and Start of Bidding

[Itzik - Wikimedia Israel]

Hey Manuel, Thank you for the response.

Transparency is always good - and this case really shows why.

While Ellie didn't respond and answered the question how people been
elected, and summarize her answer to: We have a system that works for jury
selection. Your side and answer shows a whole different point of view.
The system seem far away from working correctly.

The fact that above the movement biggest *community* event there is a jury
who most his members are paid staff, who been selected by a WMF staffer.
This is not a decision by a committee, as the committee, as you describe is
only been asked for feedback - and that should be clear.

I hope next year process will be much more community and much more
transparent.

 Hi Itzik et al,

 I think I should weigh in, having been part of this selection. I am just
 currently travelling, so I don't follow the mailinglists at the moment.


 In the past the jury was selected by a moderator - we had Joseph Seddon,
 James Forrester and others sending out the invitations and reminders,
 collecting the applications, making a selection and announcing it. From
 that point on the jury took on the work.

 Now we have a Wikimania Committee which so far has not yet found its
 mode to work - it only took one decision so far, and that was
 re-defining the bidding schedule to give more time to organise - Ellie
 and me were looking to move forward with the coming bidding process. The
 only process we actually had was said reviewed and rescheduled timeline.

 As we were actually already approaching the approved deadlines without
 anyone acting up, I took initiative to put the new timeline together on
 Meta, send out and invitation and had all applications going to Ellie.
 I also sent out reminders before the deadline, so everyone should have
 been informed and was invited to participate.

 Ellie made a pre-selection which I reviewed and discussed with her,
 after some slight adjustments I brought the selection forward the
 Wikimania Committee, asking for feedback. We received one response from
 someone who wanted to be included which Ellie denied with good arguments
 as we need this person take responsibility in other areas (eg.
 strengthen the Committee).

 After all selected persons agreed to become the new Jury I sent out the
 announcement.

 I agree that we need a better process but I do not see that this year's
 process was any worse than before, in the opposite - there have been
 more people involved and able to voice their opinions.

 What we actually need is a Wikimania Committee which lives up to its
 expectations, actually have meetings (and minutes), which can define
 such processes. There have been several changes, also with Ellie coming
 in, and everything is done on a volunteer basis. Things are slow. What I
 do not accept are critisms on processes from people who didn't actually
 participate in the same, even though they were invited to do so.

 Regards,


 Manuel

Re: [Wikimania-l] [Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2016 - Jury Announcement and Start of Bidding

[Itzik - Wikimedia Israel]

Ellie,

I don't think We have a system that works for jury selection is
appropriate answer. I just asked how and by who, not but it strange for me
that this simple question is been unanswered.

Adding to my first email, now that I familiar more with the jury members -
from one hand I'm happy to see know we have a great and talented jury, but
from second hand, a little bit strange feeling that the jury members of the
major and the biggest community event within our movement are paid staff
from wmf/chapters. I see our staff as an integral part of the movement, but
still - we don't have any committee, especially when we are talking about
Wikimania, that staff are such a major part of the committee.

So yes, this just reinforces the fact that requires a bit more detailed
answer to the question - how they are selected.

Thank you, and thanks for all the people that volunteered for this year
jury.

 Could someone point to a profile of the jury members? It is incredibly
 hard to see who has been an employee of the WMF or Chapters unless you
 happen to know people personally. However, I believe I am correct in
 saying that only the minority of the jury has never been a paid
 employee, which may not be the best thing for a conference aimed at
 unpaid volunteers.

 It also makes me wonder how hard whoever elected the jury worked to

 Dear Wikimedians,

 Wikimania is the global, annual conference of the Wikimedia movement,

 * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids

 Please consult the timeline and Judging Criteria that are posted at:
 * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids

 The deadline for bids is November 15, 23:59 UTC. You should setup a
 bidding page and contact Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator before
 the deadline. She will help you prepare your bid. All bids which have
 been confirmed until November 15 will be considered by the jury, others
 will be dismissed.

 Subsequently there will be a two week period where the community can
 comment and offer feedback on the proposal.

 In December your team must be available for conference calls with the
 jury, after deliberations the host for Wikimania 2016 will be announced
 by the end of 2014.
