[Wikimediaau-l] Outstanding grant request

Hi, I appreciate the current committee's new energy. We have a grant request dating to early October that Craig told us we had that we told the foundation about how great wm-au's support of the Paralympics has been. We're still waiting on this. It is really important because we believed the

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] [wmau:members] Outstanding grant request

For those of us not on the committee (neither this year nor last year), could you point us to the text of the grant request you're referring to? I'm assuming it's public given that you've cc'd both the general Australia list and the Chapter members' list. -Liam On 3 December 2012 15:12, Laura

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Outstanding grant request

The committee was sent it. WE've been sending follow up e-mails pretty reguarly and have not gotten a response. I'm sure the board can share details. We were promised the money by Craig. I can tell you, that unlike the ARC research linkage grant, there are no commercial aspects to it and it

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Outstanding grant request

That may very well be - but if no one who's not on the committee knows about this request, and it's not published somewhere, then there's little advantage to copying us all in to the discussion since we don't know what you're referring to. Am I right in assuming that the request is not available

[Wikimediaau-l] Fellowships

With the WMF possibly cutting fellowships, and our own strategic objective of taking responsibility for WMF resources in Oz, I think it would be possible to pick up the guantlet and include a fellowship in our FDC application. What themes would be good? Some ideas: Mediawiki GLAM WWI Gendergap

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Fellowships

I doubt the FDC will approve funding for a Fellowship program where we get to decide which application is most appropriate. That is regranting. Regranting programs tend to see applications mostly from the people near the inner circle. We might be able to succeed with a Fellowship program if we

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] WWI edit-a-thons

Having participated remotely in this year's WWI editathon http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_War_I/World_War_I_Editathonrun in June by WM-UK, I intend to participate in the next one. However, I would really like Wm-Au to be more widely involved, preferably with edit-a-thon(s) at the same time.

A board member has contacted me to tell me that while the funding proposal was there and Craig said we had this funding, the board has actually decided not to fund it. They did not bother to even vote on it. I was told I had it from a board member I had it. I got follow up e-mails about this,
