Abstract
Please describe your proposal in at least 300 words.
If you have any relevant webpages, slide-decks, etc., you may link them here.
Following from Friday's proposed short talk on [[Submissions:2022/Future of North American Wikimedia affiliates]] -- discuss how the affiliates might work together and presumably envision a joint Hub pilot project. We can draw from recent efforts: *We in North America might imitate the Central and Eastern European area proposal for a CEE Hub. They face more complicated problems than North America does, so we could simplify it. (Sources: [[meta:Wikimedia CEE Hub]], [[meta:Grants:Project/MSIG/Building_a_CEE_Hub]]) *Draw from WMNY's 2022 strategic planning effort, announced at their annual meeting. * Get input from the new director-general of WM Canada * WMF has annual and strategic plans: [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/07/26/introducing-the-wikimedia-foundations-2023-annual-plan/] Big issues include: * Scope and domain: US? Also Mexico, Caribbean, and/or Canada? US-only is easier but less visionary and interesting * Visionary agenda for a pilot hub: There have been a number of suggestions. Support our existing types of editathons? Larger scale national/international GLAM partnerships? Support development of GLAM-relevant software tools? Lead development of WikiCite efforts? Coordinate more across borders and languages in our region? And/or focus on administration: budgets, long term planning, staff support.
