[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2021 - Program and Practice Days

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

We are excited to share the program
 for this year’s
Wikimania with you! This was a huge effort as we received an unexpectedly
high number of submissions and as much as possible, we wanted to include
all of them. We created two whole new tracks just for this — in addition to
the original two, the plenary, and the Unconference and on-demand tracks.
We thank you all for your patience and understanding as we bring virtual
Wikimania live.

The program table is a work in progress and over the next few days, we will
edit and build it out with more information.

We will share a series of blog posts tomorrow on Diff
with event specifics and
technical solutions for this first-ever virtual edition of Wikimania. All
registered participants will also receive specific guidance by email in the
next few days.

Upcoming Office Hours and Remo Practice Days
: Starting Tuesday,
August 3 at 10 AM UTC, we would also like to invite you to join us at our
upcoming Office Hours and practice days to walk through our event platform
Remo and answer any question you may have around the platform and how to
use it. 5 other opportunities are available to hop on Remo and ask us any
questions. Please check for a time and day that works for you.

Best Wishes,

Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie
), on behalf of the
Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.

[Wikimedia-l] Board election postponed until August 18th

[Quim Gil]

Hello, all.

(You can read this announcement in other languages on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/2021-08-02/Delay_of_the_2021_Board_of_Trustees_election
)

We are reaching out to you today regarding the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees election
. This
election was due to open on August 4th. Due to some technical issues with
SecurePoll, the election must be delayed by two weeks. This means we plan
to launch the election on August 18th, which is the day after Wikimania
concludes.


For information on the technical issues, you can see the Phabricator ticket
.

We are truly sorry for this delay and hope that we will get back on
schedule on August 18th. We are in touch with the Elections Committee and
the candidates to coordinate next steps. We will update the Board election
Talk page

and Telegram channel  as we know more.
We are translating this announcement on Meta

and we are starting the mass distribution of the news as we speak.

 Hi everyone,
 
 Kelsi mentioned this in her first email, but I wanted to say a bit more 
 about the Annual Plan Conversations (office hours) that we are 
 coordinating with executives and senior leaders to give you a chance to 
 chat with them about the Annual Plan. Please feel free to bring any 
 questions or comments to the sessions, or submit questions ahead of time. 
 Information about submitting questions and joining the sessions are on the 
 Meta page [1], but I have copied the schedule below. I will record and 
 post the conversations, along with the transcripts, for those that cannot 
 attend.
 
 I will also send out a reminder about joining closer to the dates. Thanks 
 and hope to see you there!
