Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Grupo de Usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

[Chico Venancio]

Dear Seddon,

Thank you for your interest in the Brazilian community.

The Affiliations Committee has created a page to discuss the situation in
the Brazilian community. You may want to direct questions to them or in
general to community members on this page [1].

The User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil is strongly committed to improving
community health, striving to engage the Wikimedian communities and keep a
safe environment for participation. With that commitment in mind --and even
before the official re-recognition-- we have looked for support and have
created a code of conduct [2] and a friendly space policy [3], to which all
members must abide. We are currently working on a diversity plan with
Community Development staff members, that should be ready in less than six
months.

We take this space as an opportunity to invite the global community to get
to know and engage with the set of activities we run. Since 2013, we have
led numerous GLAM partnerships [4], one of the largest education programs
in the world [5], many community events focused on advanced Wikidata topics
[6] and several other outreach activities and programs.

Thank you all and good contributions.

Chico Venancio,
On behalf of User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Grupo de Usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

[Joseph Seddon]

I didn't mean for any intended accusation in my initial question, and to
clarify I do not sit on AffCom along I have a long standing interest in
affiliates.

After the issues with the two previous affiliates in Brazil, it was the
Brazilian community themselves who could take the situation into their own
hands and move forward and I was genuinely interested how the community
plans to do that and avoid repeats of the past.

Regards
Seddon

Perhaps we could assume that your colleagues on the Affiliations Committee
are well aware of the past history and have taken it into consideration
privately, which is exactly how such issues sould be considered, rather
than on a public mailing list.  Unless you have evidence to the cotrary?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Grupo de Usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

As a volunteer who was never involved in that strife, but who felt and
observed it onwiki, I sincerely expect that, above all, AffCom would be
more careful and responsible than what they have been in the past when
approving overlapping affiliates. Especially when a public outcry against
the new proposed affiliate is already there, as was the case of Brazil.

Best,
Paulo

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Grupo de Usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

[Joseph Seddon]

Asking as a volunteer with a broad interest in affiliate matters rather
than as a staff member:

What steps is the Brazilian community taking to ensure there isn't a repeat
of past breakdowns in community cooperation?

Kind regards

Seddon

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Grupo de Usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

Hi!

I would like to correct myself, as since October 2018 there is one more
Wikimedia affiliate with Portuguese as its official language, our very good
friends "Muj(lh)eres latinoamericanas en Wikimedia", who have been doing

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Grupo de Usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

Wonderful news!
Brazil has been for long one of the world leaders in Wikimedia educational
projects, with an excellent work on GLAMs, often in line with the
educational projects, and generally with full Wikidata integration.
It is very rewarding to see the group recognized again as a full-right
Wikimedia affiliate.
It also happens to be the only other Portuguese speaking affiliate, besides
Wikimedia Portugal. Still a long way to go for one of the most spoken
native languages in the globe, but that's a great improvement.

Best,
Paulo

As it should be. :)
