Working for and with the Global Movement edit
Wikimedia Conference edit
WMDE is hosting the most important conference of all Wikimedia organizations, the Wikimedia Foundation and its committees for three years in a row (2015, 2016, 2017). The team put much effort in making this conference not just a simple gathering, but a productive and sustainable conference series that focuses on working, thinking, and learning together. One of the steps to achieve that was the creation of the Program and Engagement Coordinator (PEC) position.
Thanks to the PEC’s efforts, the conference program and its documentation was refined and improved. The concept of identifying “thematic ambassadors” in the aftermath of the conference – volunteers who carry the “thematic torch” of a conference main topic throughout the year – helps to continue conversations on specific issues and to produce post-conference outcomes for the first time in the history of the event. A workshop on the Wikimania pre-conference days in Mexico and the PEC’s presence at the CEE meeting in Estonia were the first pillars of our “programmatic bridges”. Better documentation gives Wikimedians who could not participate the chance to be on the same page and to follow important movement conversations. An improved documentation and follow-up, the programmatic bridges as well as the thematic ambassadors are part of our efforts to integrate the Wikimedia Conference in movement’s conversations and context instead of having an isolated, one-shot event as was perceived in the past.
The issues the Wikimedia Conference suffered from in the past – unsustainable programmes, inconsistent documentation, no visible outcomes, no follow-up – are general, systemic problems of all conferences, incl. those in the Wikimedia movement. Experiences, learnings and promising practices gathered with the new approach will be shared widely, so that other Wikimedia organizations and Wikimedians can learn from and build upon them (see reports 1 and 2).
Given the current leadership crisis, WMDE is also willing to utilize the next conference to strengthen the movement through respectful dialogue and deliberation, and as ‘a platform for exchange and progress’, as WMDE’s Board president wrote to the global community in February.

Financials: Expenditures by Quarter edit
Please note: Expenditures shown in in these tables differ slightly from financial figures included in the Annual Report 2016 due to multiyear depreciation of equipment purchases and different allocation of indirect cost reflected in the latter.

Notes:
(1) Total APG expenses: This sum does not reflect the entire expenses for Wikidata. Additional costs for administrative and program support as well as for other activities of Software Development are not included here and were covered by WMDE.
(2) Total program support and administrative cost: This includes around 17 % of Wikidata's share in program support and administrative cost. Since this was not covered by the APG, it was covered by WMDE.
(3) This covers work done by software department for other WMDE departments and the annual fundraising campaign.
(4) Administration costs listed here also include indirect program cost such as IT infrastructure for software development that is not accounted for in the program expenses above (for a financial statement that allocated some of these indirect administrative costs to the individual programs, please review the WMDE Annual Report 2015, due in April 2016).
(5) Program coordination as well as vacation/sick time of program staff is included under Program 3: Institutions since both programs are run out of the same department.
