[Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Conference 2016: Program Design Process and next steps
Dear Wikimedia friends, Following Christian’s invitation, I will now provide you with information regarding program and next steps of the Wikimedia Conference. A more detailed version of this email can be found on Meta. Please use the talk pages for your questions and comments.[1] == One core theme: Movement Impact == Wikimedia Conference 2016 will focus on the core theme of “Movement Impact”. All sessions and contributions will have to add to this theme. Throughout the conference, we will work together on the following core questions: How do we define common impact of the movement? What does impact mean on a global and on a local level? How do we measure impact? How can impact measurement help us to prioritize our actions? What programs have proven to be successful in terms of generating impact? How can they be replicated and how do we scale them up? How do other nonprofit organizations define and measure impact? What can we learn from them? Cornelius (Program and Engagement Coordinator, PEC) and I will work with the Program Advisors, the Thematic Ambassadors, the facilitators as well as the participants to create the conference program. == How to select the delegates == WMCON is all about participation. To make the conference a success it will be essential for the invited affiliates to deliberately select their delegates. Participants should come to Berlin to learn and to share, but also to bring the information and learnings back home. We are seeking delegates who will be actively engaged before, during and after the conference and can represent their affiliates. Ideal delegates are those who are involved in the decision making processes in the organization, evaluation specialists, or program leaders. == Eligibility criteria and number of delegates == To be eligible to attend WMCON16, affiliates must have shown signs of recent activity and be up-to-date on their reporting[2] by January 1. Moreover, affiliates need to have been officially recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation before December 1, 2015. An eligibility criteria overview will be published next week. Chapters and Thematic Organizations can send two delegates, or up to four, if they have paid staff; User Groups can send one delegate. == How to prepare for the registration == Registration opens December 1 and closes on January 15. Please note that this is a sharp deadline. In the months between the registration and WMCON, the PEC will work with the registered participants on elaborating the program of the Wikimedia Conference. Because we want to build the program to fit participant needs and experiences, we would like to learn a little more about your interests in advance. We have published an overview of questions[3] that we will use in the registration form. Please make yourself familiar with these questions already, as they can also help you to select the delegates. == What’s next == We will open the registration on December 1 and send out further information on logistical matters such as travel and accommodation booking. Daniela Gentner will be the main contact for all questions regarding the logistics, you can reach out to her via wm...@wikimedia.de. I am looking forward to welcoming many of you in Berlin in April next year.

[Wikimedia Announcements] Shared Learnings in our APG Impact Report
Dear all, Last week, we have published our Impact Report for the year 2015, and I would like to draw your attention to some of the learnings and experiences we shared in this comprehensive document. We consider these APG reports as an essential channel for the movement’s international communication and cooperation; they underline our intention of being a learning partner for the movement. I invite you to read the report if * you would like to learn how a multi-stakeholder approach can lead to policy change in the EU;[1] * you are curious about our new “attribution generator” which generates attribution text based on the original Creative Commons license and the intended use, for anyone planning to reuse image files from Commons and Wikipedia; [2, 3] * you would like to find out how Wikidata is playing an increasing role in Wikipedia improving its quality;[4] * you are interested in hearing about how we plan to spread the gospel about Open Science;[5] * you wanna know more about the concept of supporting volunteers locally so that they can connect and leverage with partners, networks and institutions;[6] * you wonder how we paved the way for a widespread use of Open Educational Resources in all educational arenas[7] or if * our plan to create a productive and sustainable conference series that focuses on working, thinking, and learning together sounds exemplary to you.[8] We have also included links to 40 learning patterns, tutorials, talks, reports, and policy or scientific papers we created throughout 2015 and we consider a fruitful read.[9] If you have questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to get in touch, either directly or via the talk pages. If you are not sure whom to best reach out to, contact me and I will connect you with my colleagues. Happy reading!

[Wikimedia Announcements] Our Visiting Wikimedian initiative #wmcon
Hi all, Following up on our Wikimedia Conference report 2016[1], we have now published more information about our “Visiting Wikimedian” initiative that we kicked-off with Teele Vaalma from Wikimedia Eesti this year. This initiative aims to transfer practical knowledge from the German chapter to other Wikimedia movement affiliates and provides us with an outside view. Teele wrote a blog post on the movement blog, describing her time in Berlin and her work to support us in organising the conference. It’s really worth a read, as she provides insights into cross chapter exchange and knowledge transfer.[2] We have also set up a page (on Meta!) that describes the pilot that we started this year. We would like to continue this for the Wikimedia Conference 2017 and now start looking for the next Visiting Wikimedian.[3] We are especially looking for a person who can apply the knowledge to an upcoming event, for example if the affiliate is hosting a regional or international conference. If you are interested in becoming a Visiting Wikimedian, please reach out to me directly until mid September. A special thanks goes out to Wikimedia Eesti for being so supportive of the idea and to Teele for doing such an awesome job!

[Wikimedia Announcements] Movement Strategy: Endorse the strategic direction today! #wikimedia2030
Dear Wikimedians, Today marks the final milestone of phase 1 of our movement strategy process. Over the past eight months, many of you, of your peers, colleagues, partners and friends have contributed to an endeavor that resulted in the new Strategic Direction of the Wikimedia movement. This direction provides us with an answer to the question: What do we want to build and achieve as a movement over the next 10–15 years: By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us.[1] On behalf of the strategy team, it’s with great pleasure that I invite you today to declare your intent to work together towards this future. Organized groups as well as individual contributors of our movement are invited to endorse the Strategic Direction by adding their signature to the endorsement page on Meta-Wiki. You will find all necessary instructions there.[2] By endorsing the Strategic Direction, you are not necessarily agreeing with every single outcome of the first phase. Endorsing means that you commit to participating in the next phase of this discussion in good faith and to help define, by Wikimania 2018, how to come to an agreement on roles, responsibilities, and organizational strategies that enable us to implement that future. In addition to signing the meta page, you are all welcome to use the #wikimedia2030 hashtag on social media to celebrate and share your excitement with the world and encourage other Wikimedians to show their support, too. Ideally, please leave questions or remarks on the talk page, to make it easier to follow-up in a structured way. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I am delighted to announce that Wikimedia Deutschland’s Annual Report 2023 has been published.[1] We have packed a comprehensive selection of your projects, topics and events into four main articles. These highlight the many areas in which the association is fundamentally committed to Free Knowledge and what we have achieved together over the past year in particular. You can also look forward to the first photo gallery in the annual report. For our association, 2023 has been a year of giving Free Knowledge a voice on many important platforms where Wikimedia has helped either to drive or to challenge political and technological decisions over the past year. Our work focuses on supporting the volunteers, further developing the free knowledge database Wikidata and lobbying for better political conditions. Have a look!
