Re: [Wikimedia-l] Results of 2015 WMF Board elections
Congratulations to the winners! David Parreño Mont El ds., 6 juny 2015 a les 1:14, Gregory Varnum (gregory.var...@gmail.com) va escriure: Greetings, The certified results of the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election are now available on Meta-Wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2015/Results Congratulations to Dariusz Jemielniak (User:pundit), James Heilman (User:Doc James), and Denny Vrandečić (User:Denny), for receiving the most community support. They will join the Wikimedia Foundation as Trustees, after they are appointed by the Board at their July meeting at Wikimania. These results have been certified by the committee, the Wikimedia Foundation's legal department, and the Board of Trustees. There were 5512 votes cast, with 5167 of those being valid. The 345-vote difference comes from recast ballots, where eligible voters recast ballots to change their votes, and struck votes, of which there were 4. Additional information is available on the Wikimedia Blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/05/board-election-results More statistics on the elections, a post mortem from the committee, and a blog post on the process behind the elections will be published in the coming days. In the meantime, we would appreciate your input—what went well for you in this election? What could we do better next time? These reports are crucial to helping future elections be even more successful, and we hope that you will offer your feedback and ideas: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2015/Post_mortem The committee thanks everyone that participated in this year’s election for helping make it one of the most diverse and representative in the movement’s history.

[Wikimedia-l] Learning from other chapters
Hi, In Amical Wikimedia we have read with attention the reports of APG, the grants concedeed by the Wikimedia Foundation to the diferents chapters in order to run their activities. These comments by the WMF have recommendations for the other associations in order to learn from their errors and their success from the others and improving together. In this post we want to highlight those things that to us looked more positive from the advices and reflexions that we have analized. https://www.wikimedia.cat/2015/04/08/aprenent-dels-altres-chapters-llicons-de-les-recomanacions-de-la-wikimedia-foundation-als-plans-anuals/ David Parreño Mont Communications Amical Wikimedia ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
Re: [Wikimedia-l] Events and editathons with journalists
Hi, Last month, Andrea from Italy asked about events with journalists. You can find at our monthly report https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia/March_2015 a highlight about the Wikipedia Day at Catalunya Radio. Looking forward to hear your experience at International Journalism Festival :) Best, David Parreño Mont www.davidparreno.cat -- On 13th of March, from 8am and throughout the day, Amical Wikimedia https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia and Ramon Barnils Group organized an Edit-a-thon at Catalunya Ràdio headquarters https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viquip%C3%A8dia:Viquimarat%C3%B3_Ramon_Barnils, the Catalan public radio station. The event lasted 12 hours with live connections every half an hour. The aim of the initiative was to improve the article of the eminent journalist Ramon Barnils https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Barnils, a founder of Catalunya Ràdio, updating and renewing his entry and other related items. Catalan Wikipedia celebrated its 14th anniversary on the 16th of March, just when it is about to reach 500,000 articles, and the 14th of March was the 14th anniversary of the death of Ramon Barnils. 25 Wikimedians attended (8 new) the edit-a-thon in different turns. All the radio programs of that day were focused on Wikipedia: Wikipedians were interviewed on the factual programmes, the analysis program discussed on the impact of Wikipedia, the comedy show made jokes about Wikipedia, and the game show asked trivia questions about Wikipedia. The Ramon Barnils Group and relatives released photos of the journalist into Wikimedia Commons. The Catalan public TV and many digital media covered it, too. In addition, Wikipedians improved the Wikidata item and the Wikiquote page of Ramon Barnils, and made a lots of pics and recorded the voice of the journalists of Catalunya Ràdio for Wikimedia Commons. You can find the images here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Viquimarat%C3%B3_Barnils and here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Catalunya_R%C3%A0dio. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
Re: [Wikimedia-l] Events and editathons with journalists
Hi, In Barcelona this March we'll host an editathon with journalists too. It will be in the headquarters of Catalunya Radio with the purpose to improve the article of the prominent journalist Ramon Barnils https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Barnils, one of the founders of Catalunya Radio, the public radio service in Catalonia. It will be the day of the death of this journalist, and also the day of birth of Catalan Wikipedia :) All along the day the radio programs will connect in live with us to cover how the editathon is going, to explain the history of Wikipedia, and it will push our challenge to achieve 500k articles this year. We'll have soon the article translated into English, so I invite you to help us translating the article in your own language ;) Apart from that, Amical also do workshops to digital journalism students at Ramon Llull University. David Parreño Mont www.davidparreno.cat 2015-03-01 8:45 GMT+01:00 Balázs Viczián balazs.vicz...@wikimedia.hu: Wikimedia Hungary did a workshop as well with sport journalists. What we learnt is to keep it simple (teaching the basics is enough) and brake it into multiple rounds (we broke it into two rounds - not enough) and make it interactive (edit together from the first to the last sec). Hope I helped a bit :) Balázs 2015.02.27. 0:42, Winifred Olliff woll...@wikimedia.org ezt írta: Hello, Andrea: This sounds like an interesting project! Here are some examples that popped into my head right away: *CIS (is planning a workshop for journalists as part of Kannada language outreach) *Wikimedia CH (did some work building a network of journalism schools) *Wikimedia Argentina (did at least one workshop for journalists back in 2012 in Rosario City) *Wikimedia Deutschland (did at least one workshop back in 2013 with journalists from ZDF Berlin) *The Malayalam community did a workshop for journalists as part of the events leading up to their community's 2013 conference Not sure if everyone I've listed is working on this currently, but these groups may have some experience to share. And there must be others I haven't listed here!

[Wikimedia-l] Amical Wikimedia Report, April 2014
Dear fellows, The following message is just to keep you informed about the activities developed in April by Amical Wikimedia. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia/April_2014 Kind regards, David Parreño Mont User:Davidpar Communications, Amical Wikimedia *Source:* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia/April_2014 GLAM-WIKI10 hours edit-a-thon for 100 design students During April we did the central activity of the project where we are mixing GLAM and EDU with the Design Museum of Barcelona. Around 400 students in 25 classrooms of 13 design schools are improving Wikipedia Articles. On April 25 we did a 10 hours long design editathon (organized in groups from 10 to 20 people) at the Documentation Center of the Museum. Click here[2] to see more pics. It was the opening day of the documentation center so students could behave as beta testers. One of the good points was doing it graduatelly with small groups so we could help them personally and also that they could take the books back home (15 days free-rent), so Wikipedia articles are being improved since then. We also did a backstage pass to the warehouse of the documentation center and a general guided tour to the building.
