Subject: [Indic-wikisource] Wikisource Community Meeting Invitation
To: discussion list for Wikisource, the free library <
wikisource-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <indic-wikisource(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!
We are hosting this month's Wikisource Community meeting
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_meetings> on 27
January 2024 3PM UTC (zonestamp <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1706367600>
).
As we gear up for our upcoming Wikisource Community meeting, we are excited
to share some additional information with you.
The meetings will now be held on the last Saturday of each month. We
understand the importance of accommodating different time zones, so to
better cater to our global community, we've decided to alternate meeting
times. Starting this month, the meetings will take place at 3 pm UTC, and
next month they will be scheduled for 7 am UTC on the last Saturday of the
month. This rotation will continue, allowing for a balanced representation
of different time zones.
As always, the meeting agenda will be divided into two halves. The first
half of the meeting will focus on non-technical updates, including
discussions about events, conferences, proofread-a-thons, and
collaborations. The second half will delve into technical updates and
conversations, addressing major challenges faced by Wikisource communities,
similar to our previous Community meetings.
If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on
klawal-ctr(a)wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_meetings#January_2024_…>
and suggest any other topics for the agenda.
Regards
Kolawole

Hey everyone,
After Käbi's announcement, I would like to share with you more about the
changes we are bringing to the scholarship process for Wikimania 2024!
*What’s new this year?*
*Splitting affiliate staff and volunteer review process:*
- To ensure fairness in the scholarship review process, we will be
reviewing volunteer applications separately from those of paid affiliate
staff. Paid staff's achievements should not be compared to volunteers'
achievements.
- *Paid affiliate staff are still eligible for the scholarship*, but
their contributions will be considered against other staff members only,
maintaining fair competition for everyone.
*Giving more powers to the Wikimedia Hubs:*
- Given the Wikimedia Hubs' natural understanding of their local
communities, we decided to include them in the scholarship process.
- After the scholarship subcommittee publishes scholarship decisions, we
will allow for *each currently active Wikimedia Hub [1] to delegate 1-3
additional Wikimedians to receive a scholarship*.
- We do this to help ensure regional diversity amongst scholarship
recipients. We will all benefit from Hubs’ regional knowledge in this
matter. We hope that this will lead to a more diverse background of
scholarship recipients and will bring a unique mix of participants to our
event.
Thank you for your engagement, we are looking forward to your applications!
CEE you at Wikimania 2024!
[1] The list is to be decided by the Core Organizing Team after
conversations with relevant stakeholders
Cheers!
