Wikimedia diversity - What happened at the conference and how to follow up

Hello FULBERT,
We are messaging you now because you signed up as an ambassador for Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2017. We are sharing this message far and wide, so apologies in advance if you are receiving this message twice.

During the conference, we dedicated a full afternoon to discussing the strategic direction and what it means for the work on diversity in the Wikimedia movement. Compiling the outcomes of those conversations, we summarized the key problems and solutions identified, and we created a summary statement. But the conversation is far from over! We still need to hear from diversity ambassadors: (1) what does working for diversity mean at your local context?; (2) what are the needs that should be addressed; (3) what resources are relevant for these identified needs?

We know that diversity gains meaning in context, and this is why we need to hear every voice. Please take a few minutes to go over to the diversity conversation page and add your comments.

If you’d like to stay in touch, and share your experience working for diversity with others, add your profile on our group here.

Thank you and see you on the wiki,
Sara (talk)

The Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018

Greetings,

Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.

Kind regards
On behalf of Wikipedia and Education UG, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Fulbert, this is Chris Schilling, the program officer for Project Grants. Thanks for applying to become a member of the Project Grants Committee. We are reviewing each applicant and I will notify you about a decision by December 10th here on your talk page. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 21:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice and consideration, I JethroBT (WMF). Please let me know if you need any additional information from me. All the best --- FULBERT (talk) 22:06, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Fulbert. I wanted to notify you that I will need to delay Project Grant Committee applicant decisions until December 11th due to some limitations in my schedule on the 10th. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 19:47, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

No problem I JethroBT (WMF). Take the time you need. --- FULBERT (talk) 20:07, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Project Grants Committee

Dear Fulbert,

Thank you for applying to be a candidate for the Project Grants Committee. I'd like to tentatively invite you to join the committee, pending an orientation call to describe the requirements and your confirmation that you'd like to participate.

If you are available to participate in an orientation call, please contact me with your earliest available times at cschillingwikimedia.org and we will confirm a time over email.

I look forward to working with you on the committee!

Take care, I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 22:27, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the invitation I JethroBT (WMF). I just emailed you, and look forward to speaking with you. --- FULBERT (talk) 14:12, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikimania Ambassador

Hi!

I noticed that you have signed up as a Wikimedia Diversity Ambassador, after the Diversity Conference held in Stockholm 2017. In August this year, Wikimania will take place in Stockholm, and our goal is to use Ambassadors to reach out to local communities, to spread the news about the conference and the outcomes afterwards. The conference theme (still to be announced) will connect closely to diversity. If you would like to be involved as a Wikimania ambassador, please sign up at the Ambassador page at the Wikimania wiki!

A first thing to do, if you would like to help out, would be to translate the scholarship page at the Wikimania wiki into the language(s) you speak!

"Who Wrote That" project update

Hello. I'm reaching out to you as you participated in the 2017 Community Wishlist proposal for "Who Wrote That" project (previously known as "Blame Tool"). The Community Tech team is kicking things off on the project and we have an early-stage mockup available for you to look at. I invite you to follow that project page, where I will be posting periodic status updates for the project. You are also welcome to provide your thoughts on the talk page. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 22:57, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello! Just FYI, you might want to fix your signature here. :) -Another Believer (talk) 20:21, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Many thanks Another Believer & Blue Rasberry . I usually check things after posting, though obviously missed this one. Fixed. --- FULBERT (talk) 02:55, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Access to Wikipedia through VPN

You expressed interest in this. See the current discussion at Wikimedia_Forum#Propose_new_global_user_group:_Global_strong_IP_block_exemption.

I think that progress will come by getting enough like-minded people together to have a discussion and agree to recommend a process. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:50, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Date survey

Hi! Thank you for working on organising a meeting. I just want to let you know that it's easy to use free/libre software instead of Doodle: https://framadate.org/ is an obvious choice (and looks like it will be supported in the long term). Nemo 14:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Global Conversations registration reminder

Hi FULBERT,

This is a reminder that if you have not yet registered for the Global Conversations on Nov. 21 and 22, please do so! Register here. Registration closes by Nov. 20. We will email you the login information for Zoom prior to the call. Thank you. Looking forward to welcoming you this weekend.

Notification about a grant request

Hi.

As someone who commented about my grant request (including the talk page) last year requesting funding to create the GlobalWatchlist extension, I thought you might want to know that I have requested another grant to continue development. You can see the new request at Grants:Project/DannyS712/Continued work on GlobalWatchlist extension - if you support this, I hope you'll consider endorsing the request.

My apologies if you were already aware of the new grant request (I sent a similar message to the subscribers of User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Updates - sorry for any duplicates).

Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Cassie Casares I am trying to sign up for future updates, though the page you listed includes translation tags, which means the section where you ask for participation is difficult to edit. Can that section be recoded to not include the translation tags, or can the sign-up be listed in an easier to access location? Thank you. FULBERT (talk) 22:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

We need your feedback on a tool from the Wikimedia Summit

Reminder: the guide to using Baserow, presented during the Wikimedia Summit.

Hi! I'm contacting you as one of the participants in the Wikimedia Summit 2022, to kindly ask for your feedback through a 5-10 minute survey to evaluate 'Baserow' (note: the survey is on a Google form).

Baserow was a tool through which participants in the Summit co-created a database of Movement Strategy activities. We hope to learn from you how useful it may be to keep using it in the future to help document and connect on Movement Strategy work.

You are welcome and encouraged to fill out the survey in any language. Your feedback would be very appreciated --Abbad (WMF) (talk) 15:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC).
