Content and community

edit

CONTEXT: Although an affiliate organization (AO) is not the representative of the Wikimedia movement, it must be a true part of this movement, with long time and active members and channels to dialogue with this community at all times. A good and healthy relationship with the other members of the Wikimedia movement (remembering, of course, that all members of this user group are part of this community) is a condition not only desirable but crucial to the smooth running of the activities. Thus, in this APG we think of several lines of activities that seek not only to bring more editors and quality content to the projects, increasing in number and heterogeneity our community, but also allowing the creation and maintenance of channels of communication between the activities of the user group and the existing editor community. In this sense, we aim to structure a series of routine events, as well as special events to be held throughout the year of activities of this APG. In addition, if we talk about of the importance of dialogue with the community, "communication" appears as a determining factor. Thus, we plan core of monthly activities to create, maintain and strengthen these channels of communication. Within the Education Program, we recognize that the use of the extension of education, which will be replaced by the Outreach Dashboard, is crucial to analyze the results of our actions, and therefore we believe that the support to the teachers on how to use these tools is an important point.

OBJECTIVES: To bring new quality content, to promote specific training events for the community of novice and experienced editors, to support the community in general.

* This an estimated budget, considering the official rates from the State of São Paulo Data Workers' Union. We have detailed tasks we know will be needed from professional services in order to achieve data extraction and scrapping in the case of the large GLAM initiative we are aiming at. When/if this budget is approved, we will look for more than one service provider for the work we need to be done and take into consideration hourly rate as an important criterion for selection. Yet, we believe we should not --unless this is strictly suggested by this grant program-- deviate from what professional service providers are expected to earn in São Paulo. When/if this budget is approved, if we find a lower quote, remaining funds will be returned or, if approved by program officer and the committee, reallocated.

**Value has been estimated through the expected hourly rate of university-level lecturers, using as a reference what a magazine on professional careers has published. There does not seem to be available from unions or state documents an official wage or stipend one would get for the kind of activity we are requesting funding for. When/if this budget is approved, we will work on selecting appropriate candidates for the workshops and expected compensations will be requested from the candidates, aiming at reducing this expected cost; if we find a lower quote from the one we have estimated, remaining funds will be returned or, if approved by program officer and the committee, reallocated.

*** This estimated cost was provided to us through a quote by the professional video and streaming company Parece Cinema. When/if this budget is approved, other quotes will be requested, aiming at reducing this cost; if we find a lower quote, remaining funds will be returned or, if approved by program officer and the committee, reallocated.

* As a reference we have relied on an adjusted official rate from the professional communicators' union in São Paulo, adjusting it to express partial time services. When/if this budget is approved, we will look for more than one professional communicator for the service we are looking for and take into consideration hourly rate as an important criterion for selection. Yet, we believe we should not --unless this is strictly suggested by this grant program-- deviate from what professional communicators are expected to earn in São Paulo. Again, if costs associated to professional services we are requesting funds for are lower than what we had expected, remaining funds will be returned or, if approved by program officer and the committee, reallocated

EXTERNAL SUPPORT:

In the context of his academic work, Joalpe has received from the University of São Paulo four two-month grants for undergraduate student workers to support GLAM projects. Total support for these positions amounts for ~ USD 1,475. The grant request project is uploaded to the Commons.

In the context of his academic work, Joalpe has received from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) two one-year grants for graduate Wikimedians-in-residence; though FAPESP projects that were granted support for are not directly related to activities the UGBR is requesting support for, it is expected that to some extent graduate Wikimedians-in-residence will get involved with UGBR activities in the context of the residencies. Total support for these positions amounts for ~ USD 8,500. Grant request projects are uploaded to the Commons here and here.
