Re: [Wikimedia-l] De-recognition of Wikimedia user groups in Brazil

[Rodrigo Padula]

I am very disappointed with this decision and announcement.

Surely anyone who has read this notice must be thinking that Brazil is at war, 
in wreckage. But that is not true.

Brazil has never produced so much positive impact in our movement as it has 
now. Both groups have extensively created many very innovative initiatives, 
making Brazil one of the leading countries among Wikimedia movement:

GLAM reports
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:This_Month_in_GLAM_Brazil_reports  

Innovative GLAM partnerships and projects
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/April_2017/Contents/Brazil_report
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/November_2017/Contents/Brazil_report
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/February_2018/Contents/Brazil_report

We spread the wikimedia movement in Brazil through many television 
participations https://youtu.be/9YOIXPwCqw4?t=46m32s (spreading the Wikipedia 
and fundraising campaigns), Radio interviews and many publications in Brazilian 
newspapers, portals and blogs. We organized the Brazilian and International 
Wikipedia Scientific Conferences, generating lot of new academic papers 
regarding the wikimedia movement and improving our relation with the academic 
community.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Congresso_Cient%C3%ADfico_Brasileiro_da_Wikip%C3%A9dia
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:IWSC

Such misleading narrative about a “war” has been exaggerated in order to prove 
to WMF it was a bad call to allow more than one user group in the same region. 
But it isn’t. Many countries have more than one group. In fact, a fairly amount 
of healthy competition may lead to more initiatives. Such artificial narrative 
ended up hurting both sides.

This, of course, doesn’t mean there hasn’t been mistakes and conflicts among 
specific members. For sure some conflicts were very unproductive and made us 
spend energy in unfruitful discussions. But most members from both groups were 
genuinely interested in a peaceful and constructive relationship, being 
critical of other members’ refusal to mediation, dialogue and insistence on 
extended personal conflicts.

I have tried informal mediation and requested WMF formal mediation several 
times. But no formal support was given, just disciplinary measures. This may be 
something to learn for the future.  

We are moving forward with the professionalization and incorporation of our 
user group since 2016, in a very slow process, with very few answers received 
from AffCom during this process.

Recent timeline of interactions with AffCom:
19/12/2016 We sent a message to AffCom, regarding our affiliation status 
update, because we were working to incorporate our user group as requested by 
the Grants team.

07/01/2017 We received an answer from Carlos Colina requesting more information 
and our bylaws (originally in portuguese since he speaks portuguese for a first 
evaluation)

02/04/2017 We requested a conversation with members of the User Group Wikimedia 
Brazil durgin WMCON (they refused to talk), so during Wikimedia Conference I 
had a quick conversation with Kirill, about the bylaws sent to Carlos Colina 
and the general situation in Brazil.

03/05/2017 We received a new message from Aff requesting the translated by laws

 06/2017 I requested mediation from AffCom/Iberocoop to have a conversation 
between both groups during Iberoconf in Argentina as informed in our comments 
(https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iberocoop:Iberoconf_2017/Preguntas_y_necesidades),
 User Group Wikimedia Brasil refused to talk, so we had a conversation only 
with Galileo and Carlos Colina from AffCom and we never received any feedback 
from this conversation.

26/10/2017 We received a message informing that they received the translated 
bylaws for evaluation, no comments about conflicts or problem between the user 
groups were cited.

08/04/2018 We received the revocation notice of our affiliation status


I deeply believe in the Wikimedia movement. We have started and signed several 
partnerships and projects which be developed during the following years. So, 
with or without recognition, support or grants from the Foundation, we will 
continue to work, to advocate for open knowledge and to fix the current 
situation in Brazil.

We will move on. It will be more difficult and slow, but we will always move 
forward.

[Wikimedia-l] UG participation in a TV program in Brasil

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello all,

Yesterday we participated in a TV program at Futura Channel (an important 
educational tv channel in Brasil) talking about collaboration and Wikipedia, 
including some information about our scientific event 
http://ccbwiki.wikimedia.org.br/.

The video is published online and listed in our site at 
http://www.wikimedia.org.br/participacao%20no%20canal%20futura (PT only)

That is the first Brazilian participation in a TV program with good local 
repercussion transmitted to the entire country.

Dear Rodrigo

Wikimedia India has also launched an edit-a-thon on a similar theme. This
edit-a-thon has a focus on celebrating the Olympics with a focus of Indian
Sportspersons. We plan to create articles on Indian sportspersons in 18
Indic languages..

Edit-a-thon page -
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMIN/Events/India_At_Rio_Olympics_2016_Edit-a-thon

What I was thinking here is that in case you get pictures of Indian
athletes, we can include them in the articles created in this edit-a-thon.
Maybe you can create a sub category for Indian athletes..

Thanks

In parallel to that initiative, we are running an editing contest in 
cooperation with many countries members of the Iberocoop
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_the_Olympics

Hello everyone!

The Wikimedia Brazilian Group of Education and Research[1] will host on October 
13th and 14th in Rio de Janeiro the "1st Brazilian Wikipedia Science Conference"

This event aims to bring together students, teachers and researchers with 
projects and publications about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects and their 
dynamics.

We are almost done and soon we will announce our official website and call for 
papers. Articles and poster will be accepted. 

The Wikimedia Foundation has validated our logo [2] and the use of the 
Wikipedia brand in the event name.

We are using as inspiration the events organized by Wikimedia UK[3] and 
OpenSym[4].

We are trying to bring to Brazil some important keynotes from our movement. If 
someone from this list is interested in coming to visit us, let's keep in touch!

That event is under organization in a very organic and experimental way, with 
no funding from WMF to see the impact and interest from the local academic 
community. Based on the results and impacts we will try to do something bigger 
in 2017.

All the content produced during the event will be published in CC licenses 
(photos, videos, interviews, publications).

Soon we will have more news! You can check our planning page here[5]

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Scholarship Decline

[Rodrigo Padula]

I had a conversation with Vitor Mazuco about this email and agreed with his 
point of view.

Analyzing the list of users from Brazil that received schollarships from WMF 
during the last years, I noted that WMF/Scholarship Committees are always 
supporting the same group of people not generating opportunities for new 
people(and very important contributors) to join and enjoy Wikimania.

Including, some of the users that received support to go to Wikimania never 
provided any feedback to our community regarding Wikimania experience, 
learnings, knowledge acquired or any kind of reports.

I think the scholarship committee should take in consideration those who have 
been to the event several times, so that we can also include more people, 
increasing the Wikimania's diversity in all possible ways, avoid so many 
repetitions engaging more people into this international movement.

I'm not saying that the users that received support in recent years do not 
deserve this support, my point is that we have more people who also deserve to 
go to Wikimania and never get this opportunity, sometimes it disengage our 
volunteers.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Facebook marketing inside pt.wikipedia

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello Chico,

The mail goal of that discussion is to see similar cases around the globe and 
evaluate the potential impact on the Wikimedia projects.

That info is very important for future proposals and initiatives like that one 
proposed on pt.wiki.

After so many discussion and comments regarding Facebook and #freebasics, that 
discussion is relevant and very important for the Wikimedia Movement, IMHO!

Rodrigo,

I really don't mean to be negative, but the appropriate forum to discuss
the merits of the decision is in the topic open in wikipt about it. About
the form, using sitenotice for external social media reach, I can see a
reasoning to debate this here, but discussing if it is/will be effective
seems out place. This decision should be, and seemly will continue to be, a
community decision.
Excuse-me if I read too much into the message.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Facebook marketing inside pt.wikipedia

[Rodrigo Padula]

During the WLE an WLM 2015 we created and published some paid campaigns inside 
Facebook to reach more people and bring people from Facebook to our contest's 
pages inside Wikipedia.

IMHO that it's a good approach, but add a direct link inside wikipedia to 
commercial sites/social networks are not a good idea, mainly thinking about 
privacy, net neutrality and compatibility with our movement mission. In that 
way we are redirecting people from Wikipedia to external sites.

The other problem is, don't matter if we have 5.000 or 1.000.000 of likes in a 
Facebook page, to reach that public we always have to pay Facebook ads to 
increase reach.

The Facebook is always cutting post's reach to stimulate publishers to pay more 
money to reach more people.

Basically we reach more people and get more views and clicks adding USD$10,00 
to a Facebook post than having a page with 100.000 likes.

Including, offer an option to promote paid ads only to people that liked your 
page and their friends.

So, it's getting hard to grow on Facebook in a organic way, don't matter how 
many likes or friends do you have.

The Macedonian community has also had success attracting attention to their
social media channels via Facebook etc. links on sitenotice for a while. I
believe they reached a staggering number of likes (~35000 was it?), from
next to nothing. Those social media channels seem to have been used to
considerable effect in drawing attention and attracting contributors to
events like WLM.

This was discussed at the Wikimedia Central and Eastern European Meeting
2014. Notes from that session are still on Etherpad[1].

[Wikimedia-l] Facebook marketing inside pt.wikipedia

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello fellows!

Since the end of the last year some contributors from pt.wikipedia are 
discussing regarding the idea of including the promotion of our Facebook Page 
on site Notice [1]

That proposal was started by Teles, a Brazilian steward. He received a lot of 
local support.

The general idea is to bring more people from Facebook to access Wikipedia 
through our Facebook page, but what we are doing is redirecting users from 
pt.wikipedia to Facebook and including a free Facebook ads on pt.wikipedia.

I would like to know if it is ok for the Wikimedia Movement and if this kind of 
Facebook promotional campaign was proposed and published in other 
wikipedias/wikimedia projects.

Since R-Argenton provided some messages written by me in public opposition
against R-Padula in the past year, let's me write few lines updating the
subject.

R-Padula acted in many disruptive ways in a very complex Game of Thrones
WMF edition that ended in project results and partial lost of community
interest. Emphasis on partial. I'll explain it in another point of this
message. Let's say that R-Padula is our local Petyr Baelish.

R-Argenton for years is behind brazilian volunteers most of time on yet
more disruptive ways plus doing almost nothing on online projects or even
on outreach activities. Argenton may replies to it as "because I'm
blocked!" and I leaves to those who may be interested to think for the
reasons a community will choose to block a very experienced contributor.

Please don't read this as I advocating for Padula. Quite the opposite, I'm
only suggesting to ignore the bad mood from Argenton and really focus on
measurements and governance points proposed by Fæ.

Time to write few lines about the "partial lost of community interest"
point.

The now defunct Programa Catalisador do Brasil revealed the bad side of
some people (R-Argenton excluded from this, at least) and created a very
interesting GoT WMF remix that ended in many political fights exactly as on
the HBO series. But the community members where all benevolent zombies,
sometimes attending events, but most of time doing nothing. Nothing at all.

I personally leaved any attempt to do 'real-world' things after the renew
of Wikimedia Community User Group Brasil (not to be confused with the UG
that R-Padula is the leader). As far I can see, the last action of that UG
was to get renewed and eventually being present on Wikimania... Well, I
*really* don't want to say any more on this UG.

My current involvement to WMF is only to do random things on Wikisource and
Wikidata as I can do random things on any website, without further
interest. Not only due to the GoT WMF.br remixed edition, but also for many
issues on a more global level (WMF is constantly contracting new staff and
their servers are most unstable than back in 2004-2005... Only in sake of
example, since there are REALLY many issues, T71311
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71311>;, a huge data loss, is still
unsolved most due to the laziness of the involved staff while in any normal
entity it may result in an entire team working until solve it... should I
do anything on governance issues related to resources allocated to Brazil
while in the meantime the WMF is doing anything on their own governance,
only spending money on fees until gets bankrupt and with all data lost
forever in a huge bug not so hypothetical as many of you think? Not ever).
So, please, don't refer anymore to any past message written by me,
R-Argenton and any other portuguese-speaking person.

If the money collected by the WMF is bad spent in Brazil maybe is because
the WMF is entirely at this moment only bad spending their resources. So
there is no need to demonize R-Padula, since the entire WMF should stop
in different ways to reinvent the wheel and start producting things that
uses wheels.

[Wikimedia-l] Enc: Re: WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

[Rodrigo Padula]

I cant see any relation in the "literature" regarding photo contests prizes and 
monthly average wage :-)

So our study was based on local photo contests prizes, international prizes and 
a reasonable value for a non-profit organization in a way that the value is 
interesting for a amateur or a professional to spend some time loading photos 
on commons, since great part of the Brazilians don't know our mission and what 
Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons our Wikimedia Foundation really is!

During WLE 2015 we spent R$10.000 in two categories: best photo and best 
contributions 

For each category the prizes was: 

1º R$2000
2º R$1500
3º R$1000
TOTAL: R$10.000

- 4.453 photos
- 411 uploaders

Now for WLM 2015 we announced just one category, best photos with R$6.000 in 
prizes

1º R$3.000,00
2º R$2.000,00
3º R$1.000,00 
TOTAL: R$6.000

- ~13.000 photos
- ~2.000 uploaders

There are a lot of variables, but the value of the prizes and categories can 
influence the final results for sure.

Isn't that something like 5-30 times the monthly average wage in Brazil, with 
the R$2.000 1st prize for WLM being around the average monthly wage?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

[Rodrigo Padula]

We did a long research in 2014 to define the prizes as described in the budget 
request and reports to WMF.

A lot of contests in Brasil pay prizes around R$10.000-R$60.000, the value of 
the prizes that we gave in Brasil are considered low by many participants and 
professionals in that field.

As described on the grant requests, the prizes was approved by GAC and WMF 
staff my friend.

I really cant get your point here! You had the opportunity to organize this 
contest for many years and nothing was done.

Why you never tried to organize that contests by yourself following your 
recomendations, ideas and values of prizes since you are so interested in that 
subject?



Our planning pages are always open to contributions, not fallacies. To 
criticize is always the easiest way to feel contributing. Just do something my 
friend and help us to move forward, not backward!

[Rodrigo Padula]

I see a lot of good results and contributions here and as pointed by Ilario, we 
reached great part of our measures of success 

WLM 2015
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-br  
- 4.453 photos
- 411 uploaders
- 325 new users registered on commons 

WLM 2014+2015
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wle-br 
- 20 095 photos
- 2866 uploaders
- 2727 new users registered on commons

Only to complete, the first place on WLE 2014 was elected the second place on 
the WLE 2014 International and that same picture was selected in 7# place 
during the picture of the year on commons.

Now in 2015 we have more pictures selected in the WLE international contest.

Including all the media coverage and all impact on social media, for a small 
User Group approved in 2015, it's huge!!!

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Wikimedia_Community_Brazilian_Group_of_Education_and_Research/Wiki_Loves_Earth_Brasil_2015#Measures_of_success

The section "measure of success" reports:

at least 400 participants uploading one photograph or more;
at least 5,000 photos uploaded;
at least 15% of photos used on Wikipedia;
at least 50% of new users engagement during the contest;
at least 10 new articles about natural heritage sites in Brasil;
at least 10% of new user retention after 2 months of the contest.

Rodrigo reports:

Pictures uploaded: 4.443
Uploaders: 411
New users registered on Commons: 325
New users engagement: 79%
Pictures user on Wikipedia: 86 (2%)


Are the goals reached? Basically yes. When the project has been financed 
it was clear that the definition "success" was based on those measures.

There is no success for a specific person on an individual and personal 
criteria.

The user group of Brazil has not asked nothing special, this is a normal 
budget for any WLM or WLE in several countries.

[Wikimedia-l] Enc: Re: WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

[Rodrigo Padula]

Argentom, only to demonstrate how wrong and misinformed you are, the guy you 
cited on your email is a very active contributor with more than 50.000 edits on 
the main domain of pt.wikipedia and near 100.000 edits including all domains. 
Thinking in personal privacy, it is not a good approach to point here names and 
social media accounts, that is why I will not identify the user name of this 
very important contributor of our movement.

As you can read on the official announcement 
http://www.wikimedia.org.br/wiki-loves-monuments-brasil-2015-vencedores.html 
all the pictures uploaded for WLM was evaluated and filtered by teachers and 
students of the University http://www.ucs.br/portais/curso164/ under the 
coordination of the Prof. Edson Correa. All press releases and content 
published and sent to our media partners was created and revised by the teacher 
Prof. Dr. Marcio Gonçalves and students from a local university in Rio de 
Janeiro.

I know you're just trying to attack me personally, but what you are doing is 
disqualifying all the efforts of all Wikimedia movement responsible for 
devising and organizing competitions like the WLE and WLM around the world and 
for that you have no contributions and much less support any group that can 
give you legitimacy for this.

I recommend to you to change your strategy and try to do something positive for 
the Wikimedia Movement and for your life.

Your votes against and all that hate speech will not take you anywhere.

Kind regards

"success of WLE Brasil 2015"

Success for whom?

*For the Wikimedia Commons **it was totally **innocuous. *

Less then 0,16% was a good quality image, including several snapshots
(mobile made), downsized images; the retention probably will follow WLE
BR 2014 and goona be very close to 0. No work was developed in conjunction
with the WCommons, and could created a problem, people got paid with
thousands for bad photos, and volunteers there producing real content...
And this money, more then 30'000 USD, come from WMF for the WLE 2014/15 and
WLM in Brazil, and in the other hand, WP-en removed hundreds of people
getting paid for contribution, how it's different? Oh yeah, the money did
not came from donations...

*For the Wikipedia it was barely nothing.*

The volume of images used was very low, and even in the list of winners, a
lot of those images do not have any education purpose, or do not properly
illustrates the site. And very low involvement of the community, retention
was none.

For the "off-line community" , :D...

Were are this people? The other coordinator named in the website [1], are
not even close to be involved with the community, check his FB:[2], very
active, none WLE/WLM publications... Commons: [3], any help with this
contests. People listed in the WUG group did not signed by themselves[4]...

And " including contributions from teachers and students..."??? "educational
program."??? I think that "they" are hidden it in a very deep place, not
even "their" website have any clues fof that[5], or "their" Facebook [6],
Meta [7]... "Their" partners are not related to educational programmes [8],
most of them are related to photography, for obvious reasons. as far we can
see, "they" are just burn WMF money to make this contests (for ???)...

*Two observation:*

 .ORG.BR are websites restricted to ONG registered in legal terms here in
Brazil, or they already have a legal association and are not telling to
AffCom, or they don't have that and is putting the Wikimedia name in
some scheme
circumventing laws...


*The scope of the group, which can be found on their application, is "to
support the participation of teachers, researchers and employees of several
national institutions that participate in the Education Program of
Wikimedia in Brazil, aiming to integrate the academic community to the
Wikimedia movement, creating a more friendly and responsive environment for
the development of projects, research, contests, events and other
activities." *[9]

How this contests are related to this scope?


Again

Success for whom?

[Wikimedia-l] Enc: Re: WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello Illario and Jane,

Thanks by your comments. That is exactly the point!

WLM and WLE are not only about the number of pictures loaded and the general 
quality of the pictures. It's about our mission and new users engagement too.

That is what our group is trying to do here, teach people about our mission and 
what Wikipedia and commons really is and how to contribute. Unfortunately we 
receive more international community support than local support #SadButTrue.

As you can read in all planning pages, grant requests and emails, Rodrigo 
Argentom is always there trying to create barriers, posting negative comments 
and generating unfruitiful discussions. We never received any contribution or 
constructive comment from him, so I decided to just ignore him and move forward 
with our ideas and objectives. Based on that bad behavior he was blocked in 
many Wikimedia projects (pt.wikipedia and etc) and as I know, he is not part of 
any group, he is only around with that old trash talking.

Based on the level of maturity of our Brazilian community and the low interest 
of that community in off-line activities like WLM, WLE, GLAM and etc, is a 
utopia to think that in a single project we will collect a huge amount of 
pictures, with high level of quality and that all the photographers will join 
on commons, will categorize properly all the pictures and they will look at 
Wikipedia and will add the good pictures there, it will never happens here, not 
without a massive support from the local community.

We will have to do it in many steps, right now we are just a small user group 
trying to move forward, we are not a chapter with payed staff and a lot of 
people working on this full time, we are just a group of students, teachers and 
researchers doing what we can, when we can.

The WLE and WLM are generating a good impact in Brasil with a good media 
coverage and a lot of positive external comments.

We had many posts published on blogs, important portals, printed 
magazines(60.000 copies) and newspapers regarding the contest, spreading our 
objectives and the final results.

- WLE 2015 media coverage: 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2015_in_Brazil/Planning#Mat.C3.A9rias_na_m.C3.ADdia
- WLM event page access statistics: 
http://stats.grok.se/pt/latest90/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015/Brasil
- WLM 2015 media coverage: 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015_in_Brazil/Planning#Publica.C3.A7.C3.B5es

For both contests we used strategies and campaigns on social media, reaching 
hundreds of thousands of people.

During WLM we get an important structured list of monuments from the Brazilian 
gov and now we are in touch with IPHAN, the institute responsible by protect 
and register the national monuments in Brasil. So, for the next years we will 
have conditions to improve and increase the list of monuments. This king of 
stuff are positive impact

WLE and WLM are only the beginning of our efforts to move forward with the 
Wikimedia Movement here in Brasil.

I know that I shall meet many barriers and many "R. Argentoms" along the way, 
but I will continue fighting for our mission, that is bigger than anyone of us 
;-)

[Wikimedia-l] WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello my friends,

After many years of Wiki Loves Monuments around the world, finally we organized 
an edition of that important photo contest  in Brasil.

Following the success of WLE Brasil 2015(supported by our fellows from 
Wikimedia Ukraine)  and counting with a lot of support from Romaine we finally 
completed that task after years of procrastination.

The WLM Brasil 2015 was organized by the Wikimedia Community Brazilian Group of 
Education and Research, including contributions from teachers and students in a 
new approach for our educational program.

Teachers and students from local universities supported us with 
marketing/communication and in the final process of pictures filtering for the 
judges evaluation.

You can see the final result of WLM Brasil and the winners at 
http://www.wikimedia.org.br/wiki-loves-monuments-brasil-2015-vencedores.html

Pictures uploaded: 4.443
Uploaders: 411
New users registered on Commons:  325
New users engagement: 79%
Pictures user on Wikipedia: 86 (2%)

That page is suggesting some sort of non-derivative variant (saying that
you should not 3d-print it in colour (also strangely specifying the metal
to silver, excluding more common 3d-printing metals such as aluminium or
stee, all the while there are pins in the Wikimedia Store that, judged by
the price, probably not are silver)). I thought the logo was under a CC
BY-SA license.

It is also strange that it does not allow printing it in, for instance a
blue plastic, to later paint white with black letters. Is there any special
meaning behind that or is it just vague wording? I.e. is it supposed to
target steps in the manufacturing process rather than the end result?

That file description page is unclear on the license. Could someone fix
that?

Hi Rodrigo,

If you're referring to the large puzzle ball, you'll probably want to talk
to Trademarks (cc'd here). You'll probably need a license from them, and
they may know how to connect you with the specific source files that you
want.

There is more information about the 3D logo at

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Number of new User Groups

[Rodrigo Padula]

IMHO, the idea of the user groups is not to divide the community, the main goal 
is to create the opportunity for small communities to work in the same 
direction, learn with each other and have a framework to work together, 
learning from and sharing experiences.



The user group is an important step to move forward to a thematic organization 
or chapter based on the learnings and experiences acquired after some projects 
and activities. It can be a good opportunity to professionalize the community 
and avoid frustrated attempts to create a chapter or thematic organization with 
no previous experience.



For sure we will need more guidance and dedicated activities during the next 
conference in Berlin. Having a dedicated event, IMHO will not generate the same 
opportunity that we have to learn from chapters like WM UK, WM MX, WM DE and 
etc in an event like WMCON.



For me, the opportunity to see what active chapters are doing was crucial to 
organize here in Brazil 2 editions of WLE and our first edition of WLM.



I guess we are in the right direction and the types of grants available, 
including the new simple annual plan project, will generate excellent impacts 
to the movement during the next years.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] 2014-15 Wikimedia Fundraising Report

[Rodrigo Padula]

Excellent report!

I'm really impressed with the low level of donations from Latina America.

We need to do something to stimulate people to contribute a little bit more
to our mission.

During the first two weeks of the campaign in Brasil, I received a lot of
messages from friends requesting information about the Wikipedia banners
asking for donations, a lot of people thought that it was spam, spyware or
something fake. So, I guess the low level of donations from Brasil
(specially) can be linked with that issue.

In August I started a local effort talking to some journalists regarding
the importance of the donations to our movement.

I contacted some of our contacts to spread it, and many posts was published
here regarding the fund-raising campaign, with a really good impact.

http://bit.blog.br/wikipedia-pede-doacoes-para-ajudar-a-manter-site-no-ar/
( interview replicated on twitter and facebook of
http://diariodepernambuco.com.br/ to more than 800.000 followers)

http://g1.globo.com/tecnologia/noticia/2015/08/wikipedia-pede-doacoes-para-se-manter-independente.html

What we can do to help to improve the local level of donations? I'm really
interested to help with that problem here and our user group can spend some
time on it, for sure it is something that need some attention.

How can I get more information about the donations from Brasil, mainly to
identify if after the news published by the local media it improved(or not)
the level of donations?

There are any way to track it?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of Wikimedians of the Levant User Group

[Rodrigo Padula]

Congratulations!

That is awesome to see some many approved user groups.

I think that type of affiliation with less bureaucracy and easy recognition
will improve a lot the movement, bringing a good number of new people to
the Wikimedia Movement.

[Wikimedia-l] Wiki Loves Earth - Statistics tool

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello my friends,

Yesterday we have updated the tool developed by our team for the WIki Loves
Earth 2014.

So, from now you can see the numbers and statistics of the WLE 2015 through
the link https://tools.wmflabs.org/ptwikis/WLE2015

In general, the numbers are increasing very well based on the current
average.

The WLE Brasil 2015 is going very well too, with the new users engagement
near 96% of the total of participants(bringing 554 new users to Commons)
and more than 3.000 photos.

Contributions and suggestions are welcome.

Best regards

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Evaluation by WMF of Wiki Loves Monuments is failing to understand the community

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello my friends,

I didn't have the opportunity to organize a WLM contest yet, but I had the
opportunity to organize the Brazilian WLE last year and I'm promoting that
same contest here in Brasil this year again.

Quantitative analysis are always easier to do than qualitative analysis. In
that case WMF is always trying to show how the money was spent, how much
and the direct impact of that effort.

So, basically we are always measuring using metrics of the conversion of
money/time to edits/new users engagement and retention.

IMHO, WLE and WLM are bigger than this and these projects are very complex
with many types of results and direct and mainly, indirect impacts to the
Wikimedia Projects and movement in general.

By example, last year we organized an exhibition
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/Brasil/Exposi%C3%A7%C3%A3o
with the TOP500  photos collected during the WLE Brasil 2014. So, during
that exhibition so many people from many classes, ages, cities and level of
knowledge passed by the exhibition and read the contest descriptions and
they got more information regarding the Photo Contest, WLE, Wikipedia,
Commons and the Wikimedia movement. Since we can't track the visitors
behavior after the exhibition, we cant say anything regarding the results
of that activity based on the regular metrics, used by default. So, based
in things like that we cant publish any final report with the real impact
of the exhibition translated in some numbers.IMHO that report regarding WLM
don't reflect the real impact of the contest, we can see there only some
simple numbers and conversions and this kind of report can generate a lot
of misunderstanding when accessed by the regular media.

Best regards

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of Wikimedia Community Brazilian Group of Education and Research

[Rodrigo Padula]

Oh my god!!

A guy that was blocked in many Wikimedia projects due to bad behavior come
here to talk about "trust" sounds funny.

One of the reasons I have focused on work with some teachers and serious
people to create a new proposal of a user group was just that, keep them away
from these fallacies and old discussions regarding the creation of a chapter
.

All these problems and deconstructive arguments keeps people away from the
Wikimedia movement in Brazil.

With this new proposal and the new group recently approved, I intend to work in
another direction, focused more on projects and results than trash talking.

The recognition of AffCom and WMF is only the first step. You surely will
receive frequent reports of our activities and results over the next months.

Thanks to all members of the AffCom, Iberocoop and other chapters by the
support and knowledge shared during the last year, that culminated with
that recognized proposal.

During the next months/years we will try to keep in touch to learn from
your experiences and activities.

Best regards to everyone.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] User Group Brazil Activities Report

[Rodrigo Padula]

Good! You just confirmed my point of view!!

Probably the cost / benefit of the Brazilian Catalyst Program was not the
best one, but the program ended fulfilling its catalytic role of the
Brazilian community, supporting the creation of networking, partnerships
and activities.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] User Group Brazil Activities Report

[Rodrigo Padula]

Interestingly to see on the report that even under so much criticism,
the Brazilian Catalyst Program, coordinated by Oona Castro through a
partnership between the Wikimedia Foundation and Ação Educativa was
crucial in creating and supporting great part of the activities listed
by the user group, since its foundation.

Best regards and congratulations to all the people involved.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Renewal of Recognition to Wikimedia Community User Group Brasil

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello Carlos,

Thanks by all information regarding the new Affcom's decisions for an
user group renewal.

Only to clarify, my question was based on  the Wikimedia User Group
Agreement where is specified that an User Group and its agents must
submit a written activity report in English to the community each
year.

More specifically, on the item  3.Your Obligations.

"You and your User Group must:  d.submit, as instructed by WMF, an
annual written activity report in English to the Wikimedia community
and WMF;"

This obligation changed too?

My point is not to cause any trouble, I'm asking it here only because
we, the members and people that endorsed the Wikimedia Community User
Group Brasil did not receive any information regarding the renewal
application or any report was published on pt.wikipedia or
br.wikimedia.org.

Best regards

Rodrigo Padula

[Wikimedia-l] Wiki Loves Earth Brasil - Exhibition

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello fellows!

Concluding our participation and activities on Wiki Loves Earth, we
organized an exhibition during the event "Paraty em Foco" in the
historical city of Paraty - Rio de Janeiro.

During the event (Sep 24-28) the exhibition received near 1.500
visitors daily and the exhibition continued until October 12.

The exhibition was exhibited inside the Casa da Cultura, an historical
building constructed during the 18th century
(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_Loves_Earth_Brasil_2014_-_Exhibition_-_Casa_da_Cultura.JPG)
that is a cultural reference in the region.

Students from the near islands/beaches visited the exhibition during
Paraty em Foco, as you can see here http://migre.me/mihhY

I've published some pictures and information about the exhibition here
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/Brasil/Exposi%C3%A7%C3%A3o
(in portuguese)

We received a lot of visibility during the WLE, generating excellent
results for Wikimedia Commons. Near 900 new users and 7.000 photos
uploaded.

The contest and exhibition was published in many sites and blogs,
including a printed magazine with 50.000 copies distributed around all
Brazilian states.

Some important links:

- Introduction:

The WLE contest and exhibition were organized through the Brazilian
Program with the support of Ação Educativa(local WMF's partner).

> It gives me great pleasure to announce that Wikimedia Bangladesh (WMBD) has

>
>
> Wikimedia Bangladesh has been registered under the Societies Registration

> I learned that less than 5 applications for registration as societies get
> approved out of every 100. We submitted our application in May 2012 and it
> took us a little over two years to get the security clearance from NSI &
> complete all the bureaucratic process!
>
>
> It gives us a great sense of achievement that we could uphold the Wikimedia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announceme​nt by the Supervisor​y Board of Wikimedia Deutschlan​d

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello Nikolas, Thanks for sharing this!

I had the opportunity to visit the deutsch chapter during Wikimedia
Conference in Berlin and I was really impressed with everything that
is done there
and the seriousness of the work and administration.

Without a doubt, the deutsch chapter is a reference and will remain for a
long time.

Congratulations to Pavel for all that has been achieved so far and I wish a
prosperous future for Wikimedia Deutschland.

[Wikimedia-l] Wiki Loves Earth - Brasil - Data/statistics tool

[Rodrigo Padula]

Hello guys,

Since that is our first participation in an international photo contest, we
discussed locally about ways to have more information about what is working
well, the results and the real impact on commons of all our efforts around
Wiki Loves Earth here in Brasil.

So, the Brazilian User Group studied and specified a tool, developed by
Danilo (Danilo.mac on pt.wiki and member of the user group as well) to read
database information and generate a complete report about the Wiki Loves
Earth, including all participating countries listed on commons.

The tool is hosted on the server wmflabs.org under the URL
http://tools.wmflabs.org/ptwikis/WLE

Through this tool you can have a general idea of what is going on: number
of photos uploaded, photos used on wikis, number of uploaders(with complete
list and registration date by country) and the percentage of many
information, including uploaders registered in May 2014 during the contest.

I guess that tool can help each country to define metrics to evaluate local
efforts/results and can be useful for other local contests as well.

That's our first time organizing this kind of project and we are learning a
lot, until now we received more than 1.000 photos with 94% of uploaders
registered in May 2014(200 new users for the Wikimedia Commons in 13 days).

Now we are planning a bot to provide guidance and keep in touch with that
new users after the contest ends.

Best regards!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Please welcome Lila Tretikov, the Wikimedia Foundation's new ED

[Rodrigo Padula]

Congratulations Lila!

> Dear fellow community members,
>
> On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees I am delighted to

>
> As many of you know, about a year ago Sue Gardner announced she planned to

> some time working through the most critical requirements for the role. We
> decided the new ED should be someone with a product/engineering background,

> openness, with some experience with complex stakeholder environments, and
> with an international orientation. We knew we needed someone with courage
> and strong personal integrity, who wouldn't be intimidated by attempts to
> censor the projects.
>
> Lila is precisely what we set out to find.
>
> Lila was born in the Soviet Union and moved to the United States alone, as
> a teenager. She's been working for technology companies, primarily in open
> source, in the Bay Area for the past 15 years. In 1999 she started her
> career at Sun Microsystems. Shortly afterwards she founded GrokDigital, a

> services for mobile carriers. For the past eight years, she was at
> SugarCRM, where she held positions of increasing responsibility as the
> organization grew, including being in charge of internal IT, marketing,
> customer support and professional services, engineering, and product
> development. She has a stellar reputation as a leader who is highly
> skilled, collaborative, open, passionate and curious.
>
> We think Lila will be a terrific fit for the ED role. The Transition Team

> recommendation. She strikes all of us as smart, brave and unpretentious,

>
> Lila is going to spend the next few weeks in learning-and-listening mode,
> and will take over the ED position from Sue at the end of the month. Her
> first priority will be to immerse herself in deepening her understanding of
> the Wikimedia projects.
>
> I want to close this announcement by saying a heartfelt and deeply
> appreciative thanks to Sue, who has been the Executive Director of the
> Wikimedia Foundation for the past seven years. When the Board and I hired
> Sue in 2007, we were just a chaotic little non-profit in small-town
> Florida, with a tiny staff and not much money. Over the past seven years,
> Sue's leadership has built the Foundation into an effective, well-funded
> and well-managed organisation, with integrity and a clear sense of purpose,
> and her steady and committed presence throughout the search process was
> integral in helping us come to this excellent result. We will be forever
> grateful for her leadership and vision, and I hope we can continue to rely

> In June Sue will move into a new role as a special advisor to me and Lila.
