Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

I like the idea of the usergroup but just as Shani explained understanding what the cause of the usergroup will be and driving at that may get a lot of people interested. It is useful to think through this step very well before going out there with this strategic proposition. I am on the team for

Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

I thought so too :-) It's certainly an example we can follow or at least discuss. BTW, I signed up only after talking to Jake and hearing why he was going for a library user group, before there's a GLAM one. He explained and I got convinced. What's important is that we are working on a similar GLA

Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

Thanks for sharing the example, Shani. This may be the most stylized wiki user group page I've encountered yet! And so many endorsements! Very impressive what they have going on so far. -- Tighe Flanagan Senior Manager, Wikipedia Education Program Wikimedia Foundation tflana...@wikimedia.org educ

In the meantime, here's the example I've mentioned of the Wikipedia Library Project User Group proposal on Meta. Cheers, Shani. On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 6:36 PM, Tighe Flanagan wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I'm catching up on this convers

Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

Hi Everyone, I'm catching up on this conversation since I was not in Berlin. It seems like a lot was discussed, and there's a lot of potential change in the air! On our side, I'll be exploring any considerations my team would need to be aware of with regards to a potential user group. I'm not wel

Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

We will draft an offer and contact all chapters, user groups and users that have Wiki in Education activities, asking them to sign up if they are interested in joining us. We are hoping to be as inclusive as possible. We are making an effort to talk to ppl from chapters that are already here. Very

Thanks. Was there a time set for that discussion? The April meeting? On Sat, Apr 1, 2017 at 10:28 AM, Vahid Masrour wrote: > The discussion we had last night involved only part of the Collab, and it > seems only fair to have a larger conversation as a whole. > > Certainly, we need to include in

Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

The discussion we had last night involved only part of the Collab, and it seems only fair to have a larger conversation as a whole. Certainly, we need to include in the discussion Affiliates and to make sure that other stakeholders understand the issues that we're trying to solve and support the i

Re: [Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

I added a question but will ask here: can we begin working on the application to become a User Group, or do we need to come to consensus first that this is the direction we're taking? Did you set a plan for the next step? (I know you had a late meeting last night, so no worries if we didn't get th

Thanks, Vahid! I was bold and accepted people's suggested changes as well as adding several myself. Hope this is ok. :) LiAnna On Sat, Apr 1, 2017 at 1:46 AM, Reem Al-Kashif wrote: > Hi Vahid, > > That's interesting! thanks for sharing, will take a look. > > best > reem > > On 31 Mar 2017 23:4

[Education-collab] Exploration of the evolution of the Collab

At WikiCon, we are discussing possible avenues for the evolution of the Collab. One option is turning the Collab into a User Group focused on promoting the goals of education. Here are a few initial notes, that need to be completed: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x8KbICEGEcxlpAKrU8U-725DTtWlH
