[Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Last chance to review the recommendations, next steps

Hi everyone,
We’re in week 4 of community conversations about the movement strategy recommendations. Thank you to everyone who has already taken part. The community conversations will continue until Friday, February 21 - you can get involved on Meta[1] in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese, strategize with your community or organization, or send the core team your feedback to strategy2030@wikimedia.org.
This current round of community conversations is the last opportunity to suggest improvements to the recommendations. They will be finalized before the end of March, and then published for the movement to understand them, reflect on what they mean in their project, local, or thematic context, and move into implementation.
== Movement feedback: what happens next ==
All feedback is being collected, reviewed and analyzed on an ongoing basis. Here are the next steps after February 21:
* Week commencing February 24: the core team will summarize all the feedback received in a report. You are welcome to continue commenting and discussing during this time, but the discussions will not be as closely facilitated and documented.
* Week commencing March 2: the core team will publish the above report on Meta to give the movement an opportunity to review the content and give feedback as to whether it accurately reflects their input. The closing date for this is March 6. This summary report will then be finalized and published.
In mid-March, the feedback from the Board of Trustees, movement conversations and reviewers' input will be considered in the creation of the final, improved set of recommendations. A rationale for things that have not been considered will be provided, too. Our aim is to have the recommendations finalized and published in late March. More about the actual integration work coming soon.
== Video and podcast about our work; one-pager ==
Members of the core team - Tanveer Hasan, Information and Knowledge Liaison, and Mehrdad Pourzaki, Information and Knowledge Manager - recently held a presentation about all the recommendations at the Wikimedia Foundation All Hands. They provide a quick, concise overview
of every recommendation and also some insight into how each was developed. Video of the presentation [2] and the presentation slides [3] are now on Commons.
Jan Ainali has interviewed me for his podcast Wikipedia Podden. I’m speaking with him about the past, present and future of movement strategy[4].
The one-pager created by Andrew Lih (User:Fuzheado) has been very popular. Again, a big thank you to Andrew for putting this together. In addition to Arabic, English, and Hindi versions, it is now also available in Farsi [5, 6].
== Meeting notes from the office hours ==
We have published a condensed summary of the meeting notes [7] from the office hours that were held by the core team on Thursday, January 30. The notes provide an overview of the key points and questions that were raised during the two calls as well as summaries of the responses.
== Do you have further questions? ==
Members of the core team will join the upcoming Wikimedia Café on February 15 [8], which will focus on the movement strategy recommendations. The Wikimedia Café is a community-led meeting hosted by User:Pine and User:Bluerasberry, and we are happy to take part and help answer any questions people may have about the recommendations. Additionally, if you are looking for more information about any of the above topics or about the movement strategy in general, take a look at
our FAQ section [9].
Happy weekend,
Nicole

to strategy2030, Lydia, Katherine, Stephen, Wikimedia, Nicole, affiliates, EDs, Internal
Thanks for this great plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim - regarding the sum of all knowledge. I enjoyed your podcast - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WP_72_-_Wikimedia_2030,_a_strategy_interview.mp3#%7B%7Bint%3Afiledesc%7D%7D - in particular. (Seems like in the 'united states of whatebber' per your Twitter photo, Nicole - https://twitter.com/antischokke - that tactics, by way of comparison, have been very significant thus far in the Wikimedia movement).
(In that CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School donated itself to Wikidata in 2015, and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence, am curious if WUaS would be considered an affiliate per these email addressees above, or what?)
I have questions relating mostly to "the sum of all knowledge" goal of Wikipedia -
A) epistemology questions - How does or will Wikimedia / Wikipedia / Wikidata approach academic knowledge, eg in the ~32 departments in MIT OCW, for example, in particular, in this strategizing - and per information technology as a new aspect of knowledge generation?
B) linguistic questions - How will Wikidata approach its ~300 languages in becoming a platform for academic linguistic departments, and regarding the sum of all knowledge (and eventually all 7,111 known living languages)? ... and also regarding the Wikidata lexicographical project.
C) questions, brainstorming and knowledge-wise, about 'ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy' as a new social science and STEM method ... how could Wikipedians and others begin to develop this wiki project in the Wikidata / Wikimedia ecosystem?
D) questions about planning for all 7.5 billion people in first 300 languages, and then in all 7,111 known living languages, as Wikipedia wiki editors, curators, knowledge generators? It seems that these potentially 7.5 billion people on the planet earth are most remarkable as generators of "the sum of knowledge." How is Wikipedia planning for all these 'knowledge generators'?
Thanks,
Scott

Hello Nicole,
The second video seems to be incomplete. There are, for example, several
jump cuts, e.g., at 05:07, 11:08, 17:08, 22:31, etc. At 11:14 the
presenters invite questions or comments, and at 41:32 someone is clearly
being called upon to offer one, but they are not shown in the video. Could
you please provide a link to the entire video without cuts, including any
questions or comments and the responses to them?

Dear Jim, and Larry,
I came across this video yesterday from edX hiring and talent managers (in this 'Integration Specialist' job opening - https://boards.greenhouse.io/edx/jobs/2018844 - which I won't apply for) -
Libby Bowen - edX Hiring Manager Interview - February 15, 2019 with Rose Sinclair -
https://youtu.be/DHlo8Hf-EMM
- and which is on the edX recruiting channel (which is Rose Sinclair's endeavor I think)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKrZsc4AQga6nv9XoKhsz_g
and found all of these interviews fascinating. And in one of them, the co-CEO, Adam Medros, was interviewed. I 'LinkedIn' with him per his video edX recruiting video - https://youtu.be/7si3HzgEIxA - and with " - which I enjoyed, & am in communication with Anant Agarwal these days regarding CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch in ~200 countries' languages & exploring edX collaborations. Best regards, Scott (worlduniversityandschool.org& scottmacleod.com)." And while he looked at my LinkedIn profile this morning, the connection is pending.
After watching these videos, and also recognizing how valuable it would be to be an edX partner / member / collaborator (but their business manager Lee seems to have closed the door on this for WUaS) for licensing with the state of California's BPPE and then for WASC senior accreditation as a platform, it strikes me too that these excellent diverse edX managers in all of these videos (and the entire edX organization too) could be a great platform and infrastructure from which to build and grow World Univ & Sch. How to connect with them in all these regards, I wonder? I think edX's 3 missions, but esp its research mission - https://www.edx.org/about-us"Advance teaching and learning through research" in particular - is perhaps most significant in these regards too. Am keeping my eye on https://www.edx.org/careers but in preparing for WUaS Monthly Business Meeting tomorrow, 2/15/20 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/keyhole-sand-dollar-agenda-and-minutes.html - I wonder how to connect further with edX - and especially collaborate with them. Send Adam Medros and Rose Sinclair and Anant Agarwal my two edX job applications again, upon their invitation?
I enjoyed too, Jim, your
"AI and OpenPower" IBM video -
https://youtu.be/4_uQdNtjl60 - and your mentioning Tarun Sainani, who came over to a party at my place with Takeshi Suzuki last October 2019. Am hoping WUaS can develop cognitive assistants in our home robotics' projects with time.
Thanks, Scott

Adam Medros, has moved from the COO position at edX - a real Chief Operating Officer with Dartmouth and Harvard MBA degrees - to co-CEO with Anant now -
