This submission has been accepted for WikiConference North America 2022.
Title:
- Discussion of future of North American Wikimedia affiliates
Theme:
- Saturday Longer Sessions
Type of session:
- Workshop
Abstract:
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: [1]
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.
