[Wikimedia-l] Global Conversations Nov. 21+22 - registration information

2020-11-10 Thread Kaarel Vaidla 
Hi everyone,

With two weeks to go until the global meetings, the Movement Strategy
Support Team would like to share some important information with you.

The Movement Strategy Global Conversations will take place on Saturday
November 21, 11:00 to 15:00 UTC, and Sunday November 22, 17:00 to 21:00 UTC
[1]. Both events are the same, offered at different times to have
participation from different regions and communities.

Regardless of your knowledge of Movement Strategy, you’re warmly invited to
attend one of the calls. We have also developed a simple open source game
to help you brush up on your knowledge! Download the game here [2].

The focus of the meetings on Nov. 21 and 22 will be to look at priorities
identified by communities and affiliates [3], and to begin to create a
movement-wide implementation plan for 2021. Most of the work during the
calls will be in small group discussions. We will also set aside time for
socializing and (re)connecting with other Wikimedians.

Updates will be shared on wiki for parallel input and for those that are
unable to join the calls. The discussion space is already open [4]. There
will be a second set of events on December 5 and 6 to take the work further
and to discuss specific actions around the identified priorities. We will
adapt the second set of events based on the experience of the first and
welcome your feedback.

Registration

   -

   Please register so we can share the login information with you before
   the call. [5] Registration remains open until Nov. 20.
   -

   The meeting will take place on Zoom. Zoom was chosen as a platform that
   many Wikimedians are already familiar with and one that allows live
   interpretation and breakout rooms.


Participation

   -

   We are exploring ways to provide support for those that need it — for
   example, for a reliable internet connection, data top-up, or childcare
   during the events. Please indicate this in the registration form.
   -

   We would also like to remind everyone of our Friendly Space policy [6]
   so we could have constructive conversations and everyone feels welcomed to
   contribute.


As we get closer to the events, we will share the detailed program and
other useful information with you. In the meantime, if you have any
questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Support
Team via Telegram [7], Wikimedia Chat [8] or by email at strategy2030{{at}}
wikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Support Team,

Kaarel

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Rapid Grants for Wikipedia 20 celebration events

2020-11-10 Thread Samir Elsharbaty 
Hi everyone,

The Rapid Grants for Wikipedia 20 are still accepted through 15 November.
If you're planning a Rapid Grant for a Wikipedia 20 event that will be held
in January, we highly recommend finalizing and submitting your grant
application by 15 November. Rapid Grants will continue to be available
later for those who couldn't apply during the November cycle or are
planning to hold their events later in the year 2021. More information is
available here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_20/Grants

Thank you so much!
