Comments from WMF

Hello Dennis6492, thank you for submitting your final report and documentation of expenses. We have reviewed your report and have the following comments and questions.

• The topics of broadcasted episodes seem valuable and interesting for the public, we appreciate your hard work in making those episodes!
• We are really sorry for the consequences that blocking of Wikipedia in Venezuela have had on you and your community.
• I noted that there is 142 USD of remaining funds that you were intended to use on the production of other episodes. Are you planning to submit another Rapid Grant request?
• Are you planning to publish the radio episodes under Creative Commons licenses on Wikimedia Commons?

Thank you again for your contribution to the Wikimedia Movement! Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 11:45, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I'm a bit surprised that it took WMF so long to reply, seems like you have a lot in your hands, thanks for taking the time to reply. This project was done a while ago, and those remaining funds were already used for other WMVE activities.

Right now we are thinking of making a podcast on our own because the organization we were working on is very focused on the human rights problematic in our country ans a continuation of this project, Oscar of WMVE will be in charge of this, you can reach out to him for more information. We think this could be a good idea to implement to continue our activities, due to the Coronavirus situation.

About uploading episodes to Commons, sadly that won't be possible right now because the episodes contain copyrighted music, and the person who was going to edit the material for uploading it to Commons is no longer with us, if you have someone who could help us with that, please let us know! You can find the produced episodes here

Thank you for your continued support, don't hesitate to reach me if you have any more questions! --Dennis6492 (talk) 18:19, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Dennis6492, thanks for your reply! I apologize for the delayed review; the reason of this unacceptably long delay was the huge backlog of grant report and our limited staffing. Could you please update the Remaining funds section of the report and mention the details on how the remaining funds have been used? Additionally, would you kindly send to us the documentation of expenses for the remaining funds as well? Thank you, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 07:28, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Report accepted

Hello Dennis6492, thanks again for your work on this project! I am accepting your report and expense documentation. However, please send the additional receipts of remaining funds' usage to WMF, once you have them. Thank you, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 09:00, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
