Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Community Strategy Liaisons

2019-04-21 Thread Paulo Santos Perneta
Any discussion presumes two parts, so if WGs are nor expected to
participate there, there is not any expectation of discussion with the
community from the start.
The message that is passing there is that the WGs have not the elast
interest in whatever is taking place there. They placed the stuff there
because it's part of a strategy roadmap or something like that.

I wonder when those WGs will interact with the Wikimedian online
communities, or if they will interact at all.

Best,
Paulo

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Community Strategy Liaisons

2019-04-20 Thread Jennifer Pryor-Summers
Paulo,

Given that the ages you refer to are for the community to feed back to the
various working groups, any lack of activity there can best be described as
the discussions being abandoned by the community.  That's not too
surprising, since very few members of the community have the time, energy,
experience or expertise to take part in this sort of discussion at this
level of granularity.  It might have been better to formulate a few "grand
challenge" type questions but at this level of detail it seems both
necessary and desirable for the community to leave the decision-making to
the Foundation -- they have a full-time, paid, expert staff to do this sort
of thing, as we're hearing in the message that started this very thread.

Strategy Work Groups? -

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing Community Strategy Liaisons

2019-04-19 Thread Kelsi Stine-Rowe
Hello Wikimedians!

As part of the roll out for community conversations [1] in our movement
strategy [2], I am pleased to share with you that a team of Community
Strategy Liaisons have been hired and begun their new role.

Community Strategy Liaisons [3] are part-time contractors who lead outreach
and discussion about movement strategy among some of our largest language
groups. Their time is spent connecting with Wikimedians on-wiki, in social
media channels, over conference calls, and at in-person meetups to help
explain the movement strategy process and to facilitate discussion on the
content.

This role is in parallel to the volunteer Organizational Strategy Liaisons,
which lead discussions within their organized groups and affiliates about
movement strategy. You can find out more about these two groups on our meta
page [4].

Each of the Community Strategy Liaisons dedicates the bulk of their
contracted time to their dedicated language group. They have formal
responsibilities related to reporting and discussion summaries, as well as
communicating back to their language communities the results of their work.

Given the importance of having broad reach and support across the
community, they will also provide some support to other language
communities from their geographic region. We will also soon be inviting
volunteers from language communities not represented by the team below to
sign up as Strategy Liaisons for their projects.

With this in mind, here is the team!


   -

   Anass Sedrati [5] is our Strategy Liaison for Arabic. His primary
   responsibilities are to engage the Arabic speaking language community
   across Wikimedia projects in discussions around movement strategy. He will
   also support outreach to the Swedish, Berber, and Kurdish language
   communities, as well as with the French community until an official
   Strategy Liaison is hired for this role.



   -

   Rupika Sharma [6] is our Strategy Liaison for Hindi. Her primary
   responsibilities are to engage the Hindi speaking language community across
   Wikimedia projects in discussions around movement strategy. She will also
   support outreach to other Indic language communities active on Wikimedia.



   -

   Gereon Kalkuhl [7] is our Strategy Liaison for German. His primary
   responsibilities are to engage the German speaking language community
   across Wikimedia projects in discussions around movement strategy. He will
   also support outreach to the Dutch language community.



   -

   Liang-chih Shang-Kuan [8] is our Strategy Liaison for Mandarin. His
   primary responsibilities are to engage the Mandarin speaking language
   community across Wikimedia projects in discussions around movement
   strategy. He will also support outreach to other language communities
   active in east Asia, southeast Asia, and the broader pacific region.



   -

   Lucas Teles [9] is our Strategy Liaison for Portuguese. His primary
   responsibilities are to engage the Portuguese language community across
   Wikimedia projects in discussions around movement strategy.



   -

   Francesc Fort [10] is our Strategy Liaison for Spanish. His primary
   responsibilities are to engage the Spanish language community across
   Wikimedia projects in discussions around movement strategy. He will also
   support outreach to other language communities that predominate within
   Spain as well as to the Italian community.


As a final note, we are still looking to hire candidates in French, Farsi,
and Russian, though other candidates may join the team for additional
languages. You can find out about the latest composition of the team on
meta and connect with the contractor for your language at any time on their
talk pages.

Community conversations are your chance to make your voice heard on
movement strategy. Thank you for joining us!

Best,

Kelsi
