Subject: [wikicite-discuss] Announcing two new WikiCite grant programs:
Project & events, and e-scholarships
To: wikicite-discuss <wikicite-discuss(a)wikimedia.org>, <
wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear all,
I have the great pleasure to announce two new grant programs for projects
that support the goals of WikiCite: the promotion open citations and linked
bibliographic data to serve free knowledge.
The steering committee is now accepting applications for the following two
types of grants. For both types the application deadline is 1 October 2020,
and all projects must be completed by 1 May 2021.
--- Project & Event grants ---
Grants between $2,000 and $10,000 (USD equivalent) are available to
individuals, groups, and organisations with a project that supports the
goals of Wikicite.
All the details, the eligibility criteria (especially for in-person
events[1]), and the application form are available on the WikiCite project
& event grants homepage:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/grants
Individuals, groups, and organizations may apply, and projects may be of
any nature. This includes technical (e.g. software, tools), event (online,
or in-person), resources (training materials, documentation), or other
forms not mentioned – as long as it supports the goals of WikiCite.
--- e-Scholarships ---
The e-scholarship program is a new kind of grant in Wikimedia, created in
response to an era of COVID-19 quarantines, and the 2030 Movement strategy
goals.
An e-scholarship provides a per-diem equivalent allowance for 1-5 people to
stay at their home(s) and work for 2-4 days on a project supporting the
mission of WikiCite. e-scholarship recipients' projects can be the kinds of
things they might have previously undertaken with a scholarship for an
in-person hackathon, unconference, or research trip, for example.
All the details, eligibility criteria, program design principles, and the
application form are available on the WikiCite e-scholarships homepage:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/e-scholarship
Funding will:
- be provided in advance;
- be calculated at the WMF per-diem rate for the city where the
e-scholarship recipient lives;
- and (as it is a living allowance) not require recipients to submit
expense reports.
"Remote group" applications are encouraged, as are projects which focus on
content or communities which are historically underrepresented in Wikimedia
projects. Building a bot, fixing a tool, wrangling a dataset, writing
complete documentation... all are valid e-scholarship projects. A
confirmation letter (in advance) and/or participation certificate
(afterwards) can also be provided.

[1] Applications for in-person events are eligible. The WMF will release a
risk assessment calculator for in-person events and a checklist of
precautions in early September. This protocol will apply to all Wikimedia
Foundation supported events. Applicants may publish a draft of their
proposals now, and edit it before the submission deadline to include a copy
of the results from the risk assessment protocol once it is published.

Dear MoveCom members,
I hope that you are all well and keeping healthy and safe. As you know,
Wikipedia's 20th birthday (aka Wikipedia 20) is coming up in January! We
wanted to get the information out to you so you can join our discussions.
We have created a Meta-Wiki hub as a central place for coordination around
the 20th birthday.[1] It is set up similarly to Wikipedia 15 pages. It is
designed to help coordinate community efforts and will have resources to
support outreach, events, and other forms of celebration throughout 2021.
An overview of the Foundation’s planned activities (work in progress) can
be found here [2] and at the bottom of this email. If your affiliate or
other organized group already has a plan (or the beginnings of a plan), we
invite you to share it on this page as well, or use the Talk page for
discussions.[3]
Looking forward to hearing from you about all the exciting things you are
planning for Wikipedia 20!
All the best,
Lena

What is the Wikimedia Foundation doing for the 20th birthday?
We want to use this anniversary as a celebration of the 20 years that have
brought us here, and share in the anticipation of what’s to come. We are
celebrating how humans made Wikipedia what it is, and only humans can help
sustain and grow it. We are celebrating *20 years human*!
When is this taking place?
The 20th birthday celebrations will begin in January 2021 and continue
throughout the year 2021 with different activities and a single, unifying
theme: “20 Years Human”.
What is the objective?
Increase the public’s support for our movement by changing the perception
of Wikipedia from being seen as a website, to a part of the larger
movement, and celebrate how humans made Wikipedia what it is.
What is being developed and when? (work in progress)
