Some news: I managed to get vocal approval of the proposal to transfer Wiki-competencies to Tatarstan public by Federal Deputy Prime-Minister Maxim Akimov and had Regional President Rustam Minnikhanov express his invitation to the subject-minister (Vice Prime-Minister of Tatarstan - InfoComm minister Roman Shaykhutdinov) to prepare necessary proposals for organizing the process in a successful scalable way. I will have to do more thinking and writing now so as to try have this implemented first in my Republic, then across Russia.
I was given less than a minute during pre-Conference tour of the project stands prepared by corporations and state enterprises (without slides or any visual support), so I had to skim to the very facts and the value proposition that would get their attention. On a more tangible side, https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Selet_WikiSchool that I started back in 2016, will get support from the regional budget & thus expand. Currently this is on the shoulders of a team consisting of high-school senior, a University freshman and a sophomore/junior from one rural school. regards, farhad -- Farkhad Fatkullin - Фархад Фаткуллин http://sikzn.ru/ Тел.+79274158066 / skype:frhdkazan / Wikipedia:frhdkazan 17.01.2019, 18:35, "Фархад Фаткуллин / Farkhad Fatkullin" <f...@yandex.com>: > Dear colleagues, > > You can track my preparation in English @ > https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Умный_регион/05.02.2019/en (date move to > accommodate VIP participants' schedules). > > I had to skim my original 18 minute text to under 7. > > I intend to touch on most of what had to go via the Slides which will > accompany my talk. > > Tatar components will be prepared last, as Russian and English are best tools > for getting feedback from across the Wiki-world. > > regards, > farhad > > -- > Farkhad Fatkullin - Фархад Фаткуллин http://sikzn.ru/ Тел.+79274158066 / > skype:frhdkazan / Wikipedia:frhdkazan > > 14.01.2019, 19:10, "Фархад Фаткуллин / Farkhad Fatkullin" <f...@yandex.com>: >> Dear colleagues, >> >> This is a heads-up on the fact that on Jan.29 I will be speaking in Tatar >> (with simultaneous interpretation of my words into Russian) at the Republic >> of Tatarstan Ministry for ICT closing conference for 2018 in front of the >> President of the Republic, Russia's Federal minister for ICT, members of >> Tatarstan government, industry & the press, possibly some participants from >> nearby regional ministries. >> >> I will have some 7-10 min to present on >> https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smart_region , rough English translation for >> the base page completed today. >> >> It will be a basic intro level talk accompanied by slides about some >> things that can be appropriately mentioned without overburdening the public >> hearing about Wiki-community activities for the first time in their lives.
