Pilot Enrollment: Equity Landscape Metrics & Dashboard
editHi @Zend2020:
Thank you for your interest in piloting the Wikimedia Movement Data Landscape dashboard and metrics. Through this small pilot we will be completing pre-beta testing of these new metrics and tool functions. We intend to gather feedback from community stakeholders on the data elements and dashboard functions for improvements before launching an initial public dashboard. In order to proceed, we must ensure that all pilot participants meet each of the eligibility requirements:
- Have an applicable use case during the pilot period (February - March 2022),
- Commit to engage during the pilot period, and
- Agree to sign a data non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for early data access.
If you meet these requirements, you are now invited to next steps for enrolling in the pilot. In order to help us align virtual sessions with your use case interests and to send you the required NDA, we need you to complete a google survey to share your contact details. Use of the data collected by this survey form will be governed by our published privacy statement. Please complete the survey at your earliest convenience, and before the end of day January 23, 2022 to ensure needed turn-around time for the pilot’s start in February. Please also note that we will not be able to associate contact information shared via the google survey with your username we are communicating through here, so we will not be able to know if you have signed up and will switch to contacting pilot participants via the email they share in that survey submission. Thus there will not be further reminders beyond a note at the start of the meta consultation period in February. If you run into any challenges, please message us back, here on your talk page, so that we might assist you. Once again, we thank you for your time and participation. -- NaRay (WMF) (talk) 22:17, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

QW2023 (beyond Outreachy)
editDear @Zend2020 you left a strong impression in your participation in the Outreachy call for QW2023. We would like to stay in touch and maybe collaborate in 2023 when we look for regional nodes (Nigeria is an option we discussed). Best of luck in your technical and organizational work! --Zblace (talk) 12:41, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- Glad to hear that, but unfortunately I am sorry I have neither the time nor bandwidth to be able to do that. That is because I reactivated all the things I was willingly to put on hold and started working on the goals I have set in Q1 2023. As for Nigeria been chosen as a node, it may not be such a great idea because she is not receptive or open to LGBTQ matters except if shrouded in secrecy.
