Hi Everyone,

On behalf of the 2022 Wikimedia Hackathon Committee, we would like to thank
you for coming to the Wikimedia Hackathon!


Please consider giving us feedback on the Hackathon and your suggestions
for improvement.

There are two ways to give feedback:

1. Fill out the Wikimedia Hackathon Survey <
https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cGbCKj4xyP0H3wi >.  For more
information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement
.
The
survey will remain open until May 29, 2022.

2. If you would like to share feedback but do not wish to take the
Qualtrics survey, you can leave feedback on the Etherpad
.

Finally, check out the badges

the committee made. You can put them on your userpages to show your
participation.


Thank you again for joining us! It was so much fun to meet everyone and
hack together.

See you at the Wikimania Hackathon in August!

Haley, on behalf of the
2022 Wikimedia Hackathon Team

Thank you for this summary. The rate of turnover at Wikipedia is surprising
to me.

[Wikimedia-l] 2020 Form 990 published

[Andreas Kolbe]

Hi all,

The WMF published its Form 990 for the 2020 calendar year a week ago[1],
along with an FAQ on Meta[2].

Some salient points:

1. In 2020, the number of Wikimedia employees whose total compensation and
benefits exceeded $300,000 went up to eight. They were:[3]

Katherine Maher, ED ($423,318)
Grant Ingersoll, CTO ($355,523)
Amanda Keton, GC ($350,292)
Jaime Villagomez, CFO ($347,642)
Janeen Uzzell, COO ($336,068)
Anthony Negrin, CPO ($324,916)
Lisa Seitz, CAO ($323,293)
Robyn Arville, CT/CO ($306,579)

In part this reflected salary increases of existing executives, in part it
was due to three new hires filling C-level vacancies (CTO, COO, CT/CO) at
significantly higher compensation levels than their predecessors.

All three of those new hires are no longer with the WMF today, each staying
only around two years.

Of the existing executives' salary increases, a couple seem reasonable
compared to the previous year's figures,[4] but in one case total
compensation went up by over 25% year on year, in another by 14%, without a
change in job title. (US inflation was at around 2% from 2010 to 2020.[5])

Note that present-day compensation levels are likely to be 10–15% higher
than the 2020 figures above.

2. Overall salary costs rose by $12 million on the year prior (we knew this
already from the audited financial statements released in December). The
FAQ now clarifies that the number of employees (320 in 2020, vs. 291 in
2019) on page 1 of the Form 990 refers to US employees only, while the
salary costs figure given on the same page ($67.9M in 2020 vs. $55.6M in
2019) also includes an unspecified number of non-US employees. I have asked
for more detailed information on Meta.
