First quarter report (Jan-Mar)
Outreachy
Outreachy is a program that provides internships for individuals from underrepresented groups in the tech industry. The project aims to increase diversity and inclusion in the tech community by providing paid internships and offers a supportive environment for interns to develop their skills and gain experience whilst contributing to the development of open-source software.
In 2022, WMB has proposed a project called Develop features for Wiki Loves Monuments App[1] for the creation of an interactive Dashboard for the Wiki Loves Monuments Brasil App. The project was accepted by the Outreachy organizers and by the end of December 2022 we started working on it with a Nigerian software developer in this new feature. It was a great experience to expand our network and experience mentoring projects. The outcomes will be implemented into the app before the next Wiki Loves Monuments contest and the participants will be able to not only contribute their images to Wikimedia Commons but also see a live dashboard of their contributions on the application.

Second quarter report (Apr-Jun)
Results and Learning Evaluation System
Reporting is a fundamental part of the activities Wiki Movimento Brasil and others in the Wikimedia Movement organize. It touches everything we do and is especially related to the initiative 35 - Facilitate a culture of documentation, part of the Recommendation 7: Manage Internal Knowledge. In recent years, there's increasingly more interest in the learnings of the activities in opposition to only the quantitative metrics. In March 2023, we launched the tool called SARA (acronym for Sistema de Avaliação de Resultados e Aprendizados in Portuguese, or Results and Learning Evaluation System); We have been using this tool since then and last quarter we made significant improvements and bug corrections and adding new functionalities: We are now able to visualize, for example, if specific metrics of our activities plan were met, allowing us to analyze which are the metrics that need more attention.[5]
