Fundraising 2010 is a joint effort, organized and operated by volunteers and Wikimedia staff. There is a loose community of volunteers working together and with the Wikimedia Foundation to coordinate cross-wiki efforts of outreach, tech logistics, social media, localizing and translating messages.

Wikimedia Foundation projects are driven entirely by the efforts and good will of donating both time and money to maintain and build a repository of free knowledge. Everyone who signs up is encouraged to be proactive and motivate Wikimedians to work towards this amazing goal.

Get involved, find your interest, ask questions, and together we will make this year's fundraiser our most successful yet.

Committee structure

edit

The Committee is broken down into four volunteer groups based on area of interest. The subpages below are for joining a specific area of our fundraising process, you can also sign up at the bottom of this page for general fundraising volunteering. The subpages will be used to collaborate and effectively communicate between members of each committee. Each group is facilitated by Fundraising staff.


Subcommittees:

  1. Technical: Join our dedicated staff at the Wikimedia Foundation to help optimize our performance. Report bugs, assist with logistics, and help test our systems to assure a successful roll out across all wikis.
  2. Translations: We are committed to making sure we provide proper translations and delivery of messages to our diverse language and local project base. Help make our projects as accessible as possible by recruiting and translating messages and pages.
  3. Outreach and localization: This year's fundraiser requires a team of both staff and volunteers to work with communities and translators to promote localization efforts. Outreach volunteers will work closely with Wikimedia staff to ensure that every project and its language variants are involved in messaging.
  4. Social Media: Do you use Twitter? Facebook? Are you actively using social media and want to help discover creative ways to publicize and engage people in our Fundraiser? Sign up here.

  4. I've never participated in this particular area outside the Communications Committee, but I'd certainly like to offer my assistance in whatever way works best. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 21:08, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  6. Turtlestack (talk) Turtlestack - I'm the guy who does the Audio Wikinews shows and I would love ideas for adding fund raising information to the top of each episode in addition to the outro I've been doing for each show since I revived the project. I was thinking something along the lines of how This American Life (podacst) does it where before the show starts, the hosts reminds listeners how free services really aren't free in that it takes time and money to bring people those services. Any other ideas would be gladly appreciated so please let me know on my talk page on Wikinews (since that's the one I check) and I'll keep watching this page too for updates. Thank you Turtlestack 22:29, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  13. Joseraeiro 00:51, 24 July 2010 (UTC) - I'm also interested in researching funding methods and business models for my own open educational initiatives. My goal is to reach a point where I can organize real events/formations/courses using a business model that covers for the minimal running fees of using an open infrastructure, that can offer its sheer power of quantity, quality and interaction. I think we're on the verge of being able to cut the middle man (whether it's the state or private capital) on several fields of education. So it will be a keen interest on continued funding as opposed to campaigns. But surely, it would be terrific to be able to help and learn.[reply]
