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

Dear @Amrit Sufi:

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.

Dear @Amrit Sufi, thanks for the great and admirable work available at Needs assessment for documentation and revitalization of Indic languages using Wikimedia projects. @Mrb Rafi requested me to prepare and mark the page for translation and I enjoyed being through it. The page can now be translated through our Translate Extension. I am happy to see this research work. I will check the other page when I get some more free time. Regards, ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 13:07, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Dear @TheAafi thank you so much for helping with preparing and marking the page for translation. I'm very glad to know that you are interested in the research! Thanks again!

Personal Invitation to the Open Innovation Café of Wikimedia Deutschland

Hello @Amrit Sufi:

This year we are setting out on a journey to build a new format for the Wikimedia Movement, a safe space that will foster innovation and allow members of our community to experiment with and build new ideas for Free Knowledge. 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:

• Open Innovation Café 1 on Tuesday, March 7th, 10:00-10:30 am CET: Access the Zoom call through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86860546924?pwd=UWhGeHVSM1B1NzRybWJtQnEyN3NHdz09 Meeting ID: 868 6054 6924 Passcode: 752756 Add event to your calendar
• Open Innovation Café 2 on Wednesday, March 15th, 6:00-6:30pm CET: Access the Zoom call through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86403799400?pwd=R3JLVlpENTlKNHFqQnVJRUpBV3J3QT09 Meeting ID: 864 0379 9400 Passcode: 859211 Add event to your calendar

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) 15:02, 2 March 2023 (CET). Feel free to reach out to us at unlock@wikimedia.de

Dear @Amrit Sufi:, 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) 12:42, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

These cover the needs and challenges our Movement faces in innovating in Free Knowledge – quite eye-opening!

Join us at our Open Innovation Café volume 2 to hear about what we have found and how we will use these insights in building a new innovation format for the Wikimedia Movement. Maybe some insights will also be helpful in your community work as well?

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:

• Open Innovation Café option 1 on Tuesday, May 23rd, 5:00-5:30 pm CET: Access the Zoom call through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86297641111?pwd=OEQwQXVBV21mWlZJTWxld21HeGFHdz09 Meeting ID: 862 9764 1111 Passcode: 021114

Request for Assistance to Collaborate or Replicate Your Project

Dear Amrit Sufi, I read with great excitement and interest about your project Oral Culture Transcription Toolkit that provides instructions on how to record oral culture, how to upload them on Wikimedia Commons, to create transcription and upload it on Wikisource. As as Digital Language Activist interested in supporting the documentation and preservation of indigenous languages, I would be happy if you could find sometime for a short meeting with me online to understand how to get the project replicated for my native language, Dagbani and subsequent extensions to other Ghanaian languages. Most of the historical events in my part of the country (Ghana) are preserved orally and pass down to generations. Most of the traditional and cultural practices has no information online or other sources to cite from when writing about them on Wikipedia owing to the fact that they are orally preserved. There is danger of distortions and even perishing of those historical facts. A project of this nature will definitely give light to the oral traditions in the digital space and I wish you find some time for me for discussions about it on how to collaborate or replicate it.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Alhassan Mohammed Awal (talk) 09:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
