Hi Cascadians, As we star to get grant funding, it will be helpful for us to start tracking our program outcomes. Currently we have approximate records of turnout at our events. I'm hoping that we can expand our recordkeeping a bit to include data like amounts of content contributed or skills taught.
The WMF Program Evaluation team has tools for recordkeeping of edit-a-thons that may apply.to many of the events that Another Believer hosts in Portland. A.B. will you please start using these tools? I'm sure Program Evaluation (email above) will be glad to help you get started. In Seattle, we have done cross-pollination recently with TA3M by speaking at their meetings. These events are more about networking and information exchange between technologists and information activists than they are about recruiting new contributors, but I think we all would agree that we enjoy these events. I think we should at least document our speakers and the subjects of our presentations as they relate to Wikimedia. (I may give a presentation in November, subject TBD. In July, J-mo gave a research presentation, and this month I gave a brief intro to SeaFOSS and the IEG program). Questions about how to track program outcomes can be directed to Evaluation. Please post reports or links to reports on Meta on our talk page, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cascadia_Wikimedia Thanks, Pine
