Invitation to share your ideas on Wikimedia’s Innovation Idea Wall

edit

Dear @Ziko:

Thank you for being part of our, the Innovation team at Wikimedia Deutschland's, journey in developing a new innovation format for the Movement this far (you can read more about it here:Re-imagining_UNLOCK). As we are moving along with our process, we would love to hear your ideas on how to address the challenges that you have helped us identify – challenges that are keeping us from fostering innovation in our communities.

To facilitate collaborative ideation, we have created an Innovation Idea Wall—a virtual space where you can freely scribble down your ideas whenever you find a moment of inspiration. We believe that by putting together the collective wisdom and creativity of Wikimedians like yourself, we can unlock new possibilities for innovation in our Movement.

To access the Innovation Idea Wall, simply follow this link [1]. You will be directed to our concept board, an online whiteboard, where you will find the instructions on how to get started. We assure you that the process is easy to follow along. In brief, we have formulated some questions that we invite you to brainstorm on – any idea is welcome! Your opinions matter greatly to us, as we firmly believe that Wikimedians possess the firsthand knowledge and expertise needed to identify the necessary improvements in our approach to innovation.

We look forward to watching this Idea Wall grow over the coming weeks. The idea wall will be accessible until July 3rd.

Post via alvoko en vikipedia diskutejo mi ekprizorgis tradukadon de la balotaj dokumentoj sed ne rimarkis ke faras tion ankaŭ vi. Domaĝe !

Hello Ziko. Thank you for the link. We at ta:wikipedia.org have instinctually followed many of the suggestions there. We are at about 15000 articles, with only about <300 robot build. These were places in Tamil Nadu. We felt that inserting bot articles about various places can create the wrong impression. However, we are currently looking at ways of adding bot articles on diverse topics.

We have given focus for local topics (language, places, people, organizations, arts, media, science, technology etc). In many topics our local treatment on the same topics drastically differ from the English Wikipedia. English wikipedia has its own ways of classifying and describing a subject. In many cases it does not match that with Tamil tradition. Tamil as language with more than 2000 years of literary tradition, and has its own ways of classifying and describing a subject.

Best movies, comedians etc in enWiki are understandably about the English sphere. In local editions we can give due considerations to local subjects. The view points of subjects shift dramatically too. For instance, we place a local consideration in describing a country where there is a Tamil population. That means in describing the Canadian history, we place more importance to its Multicultural policy than to its ceremonial head of government.

We have about 15-20 steady contributors. Still we do not have a wide introduction. For an 80 million speakers, with atleast 6-10 million Internet connections this is very low. Most are diaspora contributors and only handful from TamilNadu, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia.

We do not have a formal organization. There does not even exist a Wikipedia Indian Chapter. That is 1/5 global population.

We are very much interested in the answer for the question: Why Wikipedias do better than others?

Also, please let us know where there is a forum for sharing this type of information.

Regards,

ta:பயனர்:Natkeeran

Hello Natkeeran, yes, ta.WP really makes a good impression! I recently took a look at Pali and Sanskrit and also Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedias - phantom Wikipedias with a lot of stubs and "beginnings" (articles mostly with chapter titles). What you describe sounds more than reasonably, you consider what might be interesting to your readers. Your number of steady contributors looks quite impressive, compared to many other Wikipedias, but certainly there is still a growth potential. Do you have contact with language institutions?--Ziko-W 10:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

By the way, your question about a forum inspired me to create Multilingual Wikipedia and [[Tell us about

your Wikipedia]].--Ziko-W 14:36, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pali and Sanskrit are classical languages of India, and do not have wide speaking communities. Bishnupriya Manipuri does not have a significant community (< ½ million) as well. It is good to see that wikipedia offers a chance for those who have vested interested in these lanagues a means to strenghten their langauge.

As noted above we do give attention to local subjects. However we consciouly do not try to cater to all popular subjects. For instance, popular media covers astrology extensively, but we do try to cover it much. Of course, if there are people interested in developing those articles, we welcome that, but it not our aim to cover that topic extensively. Even thought it is popular.

On ther other hand we focus on mathematics, science, technology, and culture articles. Sciece and techncial writing is still not highly matured in Tamil. There is traditional knowledge in many of these areas as well. There we make an effort to connect with the traditional knowledge, and at the same time exteded that with current knoweldge. Unlike English wikipedia we have to given extensive focus to vocabulary buiding and subject heading lists. Tamil Wikionary has been populated with more than 100 000 words ( by robots). The database was borrowed from Tamil Virtual University.

Unlike English wikipedia we strive to attract experts. We had limited success with this. We have experts in areas sucha as Mathematics, Chemical Engineering, Computer Sciece, Archtecture, Ecology. We are still waiting for people from the field of Law. There has been some contribution in the field of Medice. Mose of these are diaspora contributors. We are not able to tab or make extensive connections with potential native contributors.

Tamil Wikipedia is one of leading ones among the Indian Laguages. The Malayalam wiki is smaller, still their quality is good. Hindi has the greatest potential (500-600 million speakers), but still relatively small. Telugu has the highest number of articles (> 40 000), but most are stubs, but there is steady growth. They cater to local and popular topics more extensively. Kannada had a good start (they held a Media meet about two years ago), but now with low activity. Benglai, another langauge with great potentail (>300 million speakers: in Banaladesh, and in West Bangal India) , and reasonablly organzied active contributors. They have organizational support. Sinhala (lanague of Sri Lanka) is just getting started, but there is a University behind it right now.

Indian laguages are diverse, and can really benefit from Wikipedia. Wikipedai needs to raise it profile in India. It may be possible to even link lanague laocalization groups.

For small Wikipedias, the focus must be on important articles. We will never have extensive coverage about video games, hollywood movies, or even LGBT communities. But we can reasonablly cover major areas and ideas of Mathematics. Still, if people are interested in wrting tons about a not so important subject, we should welcome that as well.

Our current bottleneck is getting a wider awrness and readership among the large lanague communities. We are reaching out to the Media, and have had reasoanable coveage. We don't have formal connections with Univerisities or lanague organizations. We can as you noted, ask them to comment or evaluate ta wiki.

We just have speread the word. And we will grow steadily.

And I will add the info about Tamil Wikipedia to the above page as well.

Also if you do have any writeup about why some wikipedias do better, please let me know. For instance, we would like to how Malayalam Wikipedia is dowing well (depth >100)? Sure we can ask them directly, but a common forum would be more effective. Thanks.

DialektWiki

edit

Hallo Zico,

Du bist ja vielfältig unterwegs und unsere Steckenpferde scheinen sich zu ähneln. Mit Interesse habe ich Deine wirklich lesenswerten Artikel űber Mariekaakjes und Indië gelesen und sah, dass der Link zu Douwes-Dekker noch frei war. Ich habe meine Magisterarbeit űber ihn geschrieben und könnte vielleicht mal was verfassen. Meine Dialektidee hatte ich unter „Proposed Project“ eingestellt. Da ich relativ neu bin, habe ich noch nicht, den Űberblick, was wer macht und was wohin gehört. Daher kannte ich die Wikiversity noch nicht einmal, werde mich aber werde mich mal in die Richtung vertiefen. Im Moment strauchle ich über die Kombination von meinem geplanten Audio-Modul, der Dialektkarte und der Datenbankeinrichtung. Ich weisse einfach nicht, wie und wohin ich den Code für den WikiMiniAtlas stopfen muss. Gerade bin ich dabei, auf einer Testwebseite Moodle zu installieren. Dies ist auch eine Lernplattform von der ich glaube, dass es Parallelen zu Wikiversity gibt hinsichtlich der Möglichkeiten. U.a. scheint es dort eine Art von Audioaufnahmemodul zu geben und auch ein Georeferenzmodul, dass meine Sache weiterbringt. Auf jeden Fall gibt es dort auch Audiokonferencing, welches nützlich wäre zum Austausch untereinander, wenn ich genug Mitstreiter an einen Tisch bekomme. Wichtig ist auch eine SCORM-Schnittstelle, um Material zu extrahieren und dem EU-Standard, da ich EU-Subsidien angefrat habe.

Dein Paper über weak-Wikipedias würde ich mir gerne mal durchlesen. Ich habe vor, Dir darüberhinaus eine Mail zu schicken zu meiner Ursprünglichen Motivation, da ich es mein Ansatz global ist und versuchen soll, um gesprochene, lebende Sprache zu bewahren. Desweiteren möchte ich auch Menschen ausserhalb der jetzigen Wikipedia erreichen und motivieren, beizutragen. Ich glaube, dass mit relativ geringen Mitteln hier im Handumdrehen viel erreicht werden kann, wenn einige mithelfen.

Hi there! Thanks for volunteering to sit on the Fundraising committee. The work of the committee will be really valuable to making this year's annual giving campaign really effective. I've posted an overview to Fundraising 2010, and would love your thoughts on the talk page. I'm also going to try to set up an IRC meeting soon, and hope you'll join for that. Keep an eye Fundraising 2010/Committee for a couple of proposed times! Thanks again... Philippe (WMF) 18:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Meeting

edit

Hi all,

I'd like to have a meeting on IRC this week to discuss the 2010-2011 annual appeal/fundraiser. This will be an "anyone is welcome" type meeting, open to the broad community. During this, Zack Exley and I will take you through our inital thoughts about the fundraiser and its organization, and ask you to join us in a discussion about the (massive) role of volunteers and chapters in this year's fundraiser.

Because of the vagaries of time zones, scheduling live meetings is hard. So, we'll have a couple of potential times, and we'll log and post the meeting for anyone who wasn't able to make it.

The meetings will be held Thursday, 12 August at 23:00 UTC (16:00 PDT) and Friday, 13 August at 16:30 UTC (09:30 PDT) in the #wikimedia-fundraising channel on the freenode network on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-fundraising). You can access this using freenode's webclient, which is available at http://webchat.freenode.net/ or by using your favorite IRC client.

Hope to see you there! Philippe (WMF) 20:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at [email protected] or responding on my talk page.

This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 14:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Great idea, Ziko; was it you who thought of it?

I wonder whether the model page could be expanded a bit—not to put people off, but to show them the possible options. It would be so useful to know whether there's a featured picture process on each Wikipedia, for example. Tony (talk) 13:52, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikimedia Chapters Survey!

edit

Hello Ziko!

I have created a following draft: Wikimedia Chapters Association/Research/Survey 1 - the idea is that particular chapters could easily give their answers in their pace simply by editing a subpage dedicated to their own organization.

Before I create their subpages I would like to consult with you about the questions - I still feel I might have some improvements here. :) I do not want to ask to many questions as the people may stop responsing completely but I would like to ask you what question would you add, change, remove? :)

Aaand certainly I could count on you and your chapter in filling the forms? :)

Best Regards!

aegis maelstrom δ 14:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

P.S. I also need to think if I can combine the results with Tell us about your Wikipedia to show some parallels between chapters and language projects but this can be very very tricky.

Hello, I have commented on that page. I think that linking it to "Tell us..." would make the challenge even bigger... maybe too big. Ziko (talk) 21:21, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I've just responded there. Sorry that so late, on my homewiki we are cross responding on the other person's talk page and I don't have this habit to check the initial talk page. aegis maelstrom δ 16:52, 17 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I should indeed have also posted at the other location. I will have a look there again. Ziko (talk) 22:16, 17 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
O.K.
I have added a few simple questions regarding the governance and probably this is the final version of the first survey. Several questions could go deeper, several obvious ones are not even asked - but I did not want it to be too big (even now it is hard to say how many chapters will respond). A few things hopefully I will learn e.g. from FDC, other things will need to wait for a next iteration. It should be more than enough for one presentation anyway.
Best, aegis maelstrom δ 11:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi, per request I made a google spreadsheet version for you - this is the link for the spreadsheet for WMNL! :)
Best, aegis maelstrom δ 23:16, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. Is this a form we are asked to fill in now, or is it an example for the future form? And, maybe it is helpful to wait until after Wikimania with the start of the enquiry? (On Wikimania we can get some real life input.) Kind regards Ziko (talk) 08:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
This is the final form of the first survey. After first iteration if there is a need/interest I would go with a step 2, probably expanding some questions. Then I would take the additional effort and just copy answers from Survey 1 to Survey 2, so the Chapters which already responded would not need to repeat it. I also consider a total makeover: changing everything into 1 question surveys with rows for all the chapters. Unfortunately now making one spreadsheet for all the chapters was not suitable, as it would require 3D tables. :D
Summing up, I would be happy if you fill as much as you can and I show initial results in HKG. Anyway during the presentation and this initial step we should discuss what particular metrics would be useful, e.g. in assessing and comparing the Chapters, so my presentation will be both about actual numbers and the methodology of obtaining them.
Regarding talking on it during Wikimania - sure we can! I just want to have something tangible to talk on, in other case we can have a next not-so-productive hour of e.g. WCA when few people want to commit to something and even less is done. So far it took a lot of my time but at least we have _something_.

Warning

edit

I found your recent comment/song here quite creepy. The way you are posting edited version of a love song on someone's page who you haven't met by your own admission and making references to being on her knees and calling her "geek mom" are all very very unacceptable. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you might not realize how it is coming of. Consider this a warning from a local admin. Theo10011 (talk) 14:48, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

I let it to her to decide that, Theo. Ziko (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
She did. Theo requested another pair of eyes on this, but did not wait before posting the warning. Lila responded to your song with a smiley,[4] as I would have expected, and Theo closed the report. Nice song. This little incident demonstrates the reactivity of the WMF administrative community. Notice how Theo remains convinced, apparently, that your posting was wrong in some way. And two others also translated their own reaction into a description of your action."[5][6]. I've seen users blocked for less, to be sure. Good luck. --Abd (talk) 16:52, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Theo, you are entitled to have an opinion, and I assume good faith. However, I question the appropriety of your action. If someone notices a comment on his or her talk page he or she is free to delete it and/or approach the commentor or an admin if necessary. Thanks for your kind words, Abd.

I do question also the remark on that talk page, as it is talking of a 'warning' as if that had been a necessity following an action of mine. Before, in London, I have asked several people who know her and they said that it is okay, as it innocently talks of children on a mom's (or could be also dad's) lap; that I should publish it, send her a mail (and cc them) etc. I think I made more enquieries before posting this than anyone else here who thought to be involved. Ziko (talk) 18:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well, Ziko, consider what it takes, how much life experience one must have to become a meta admin. I knew what your intention was, and so did those you asked, my guess, and Lila is actually a mother. Yes, it could have been a dad's lap, and the same parody could have been written to a man, with "geek dad." Then we have the "issue" of using a love song. However, don't we love our parents? Using love songs as you did is common in song parodies. The parody was a passsionate plea for compassion and caring and guidance.
"Geek mom" was read by the "it's creepy" contingent as being about a mom who was a geek, instead of being a mother (caretaker, guide, supporter) of geeks. So some -- three users! including a steward and meta sysop -- misread the song, badly, and were quite confident that you were "creepy." Frankly, to me, that's scary, demonstrating a widespread problem. I'm going to name it "lack of adult supervision." Even if some who are reactive are technically adults.
(We need adult guidance, not supervision. At one point I had five teenagers, and if one thinks that it is one's job to tell them what to do, well, Trouble with a capital T. However guidance, particularly setting strong examples, continues forever. It's remarkable that in this sequence we had a cogent response from a user, on Lila's page, [7], saying Commentary on individuals is wrong and uncivil: we should demand better of ourselves, while, six hours later, the same user has an edit summary of (Dude... really. This is not okay).
I have never seen a comment begin with "Dude" that was civil. So, you sing songs, Ziko, I tell stories:
Three monks had a vow of silence for the day.
Eating breakfast, the first says, "Is the tea ready?"
The second says, "We have a vow of silence today!"
The third says, "I'm the only one who has not broken our vow!" --Abd (talk) 20:12, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

I'm also happy to join you on yours to talk about our work so far in journalistic video work, how-to videos and others in en:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Makes_Video. We've been working with the Internet Archive on a collaborative video editing solution, and I'm working with them on a submission too related to link rot. -- Fuzheado (talk) 09:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Fuzheado:, I'm terribly sorry, I did not reply immediately and then forgot. I will have a look at the Wikimania wiki. You are very welcome in the session about encyclopedic videography - if it will be accepted by the team. :-) Ziko (talk) 10:51, 11 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Strategy: Focus on structured data

edit

I added a new comment in the section.

Before opening that section I had removed the focus-on-structured sentence from the strategy page itself,[8] and I was reverted.[9] I hesitate to combatively revert a revert-of-my-own-edit. However if you're feeling bold you might dispute the revert of my edit, grin. Alsee (talk) 12:30, 20 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Forschung

Hallo,

Wir von Wiki-Sul (eine nicht bei WMF anerkannten südbrasilianischen Benutzergruppe, die mit Wikipedia und Bildung arbeiten), versuchen zu verstehen, wie die Forschungen über Wikipedia bei der Metawiki und der WMF organisiert ist.

Ich komme zu dir, weil ich deinen Namen hier gesehen habe und weil du ein Historiker bist: Geschichtsschreibung ist zurzeit das Hauptthema in Wiki-Sul (sehe hier).

Konntest du uns helfen? Viele Grüße, Felipe

JSTOR account redistribution (The Wikipedia Library)

edit

Hi - according to our records you received a free account for JSTOR through The Wikipedia Library. Because we’ve used up all of our allocated accounts, and it’s been some time since they were distributed, we want to redistribute any accounts that aren’t being used to users on our waitlist.

If you’re still using, or plan to use, your JSTOR access, no problem! Simply head over to the Library Card platform, log in, and request a renewal of your account. You should be able to do this from your user page, or the JSTOR signup page. If you can’t find the renewal button, or have any other issues or questions about this, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. We’ll begin redistributing inactive accounts in September; if you request renewal after then we will only be able to reactivate your account if we have spots remaining. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:32, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018

edit

Greetings,

Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.

Kind regards

Hello, I'm leaving a note on the talkpages of those on the old SPCom list to ensure that you have seen this proposal discussion for a journal hosting sister project. I realise that the process these days is slightly different, but I'm keen to make sure that we get as broad feedback as possible, so please consider to adding a note to comment/support/oppose.

Global templates draft spec

edit

Hi!

You do a lot of work across different wikis and languages, both small and large, so I wanted to ask you something.

I wrote a little something about how templates could be improved for the benefit of all the wikis: mw:User:Amire80/Global templates draft spec/TLDR.

There's also a (much) longer version here, if you have the time: mw:User:Amire80/Global templates draft spec.

I'd love to know what do you think about it.

Dear friend of the German language, Dankeschön for your feedback! I am really happy with everyone who enjoys the Klexikon. And indeed, there are many people who have German as a foreign language, or are refugees, or have certain challenges with reading... they like the Klexikon, too.
I am only hesitant to recommend the Klexikon especially for all other target groups than children, because we have German speaking children in mind when writing the articles. So, we cannot claim that the Klexikon is perfect for foreign language learners, for example.
By the way, when I learned Dutch, I consumed content that was for Dutch children, too. Like, Sesame Street. :-)

This is why we would like to extend a personal invitation to you to join our Open Innovation Café where we want to tell you all about what we are planning and how we would love you to be involved!

We are reaching out to people, affiliate representatives and Wikimedia community members who specifically indicated in some capacity that they are either working on or interested in innovation in the Wikimedia Movement and/or recommendation no. 9 “Innovate in Free Knowledge” of the Movement Strategy 2030. We will be a diverse, international group. The Café will be done in English and will be hosted by us. There is no preparation required, simply drop in as you are.

When and where will the Open Innovation Café take place? We will be running two identical open cafés, so choose the slot and time zone that suits you best:

We look forward to seeing you at the Open Innovation Café and diving deeper into this exciting, pan-Movement endeavor!

--Kannika Thaimai (WMDE) (talk) and Lucia Obst (WMDE) (talk) 15:05, 2 March 2023 (CET). Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]

Dear @Ziko:, We saw that you were not able to make it to our Open Innovation Café, but we have set up a page on Meta-Wiki documenting our Re-Imagining UNLOCK journey. So be sure to have a look at what we are planning and join any future discussions! In short: We are setting up a new innovation format for the WIkimedia Movement, but we cannot do this on our own!
How can you get involved? We have created a quick 4-question survey (anonymous) that will help us in better understanding the needs and challenges of our Movement in innovating in Free Knowledge. This will form the basis of any new innovation format to take shape in the future. It would be wonderful if you could give us a few minutes of your time as we are grateful for any response.
Many thanks for being a part of this journey. We are also happy to keep you in the loop of any future developments, outcomes of the survey and the next Open Café! Best wishes,--Lucia Obst (WMDE) (talk) 12:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello everyone!

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas about current developments in the Wikimedia Movement. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for further Wikimedia 2030 strategy process work.

At this meeting we will focus on the recent statement by the WMF Board of Trustees liaisons statement on the Movement Charter in which the liaisons stated that they will be recommending the Board of Trustees not to ratify the final draft of the Movement Charter. The community and affiliate votes on the ratification are supposed to start on Tuesday, 25 June. This meeting offers a venue to discuss the situation and formulate the "next steps".

This month, we are meeting on Sunday, June 23, and you are all invited to RSVP here.
