Esteemed Wikipedians, I need your assistance. I am looking for any
papers/reports etc, on how Wikimetrics are being/have been used to inform
direction/policies on Wikimedia projects (at the Foundation, in Chapters,
Usergroups, etc). Is anyone able to point me towards these?
Thanks!

Subject: Announcing the Hardware donation program
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
The Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to announce a small new program called
the Hardware Donation Program. In a word, it is a program designed to
donate depreciated (but fully working) hardware from the WMF office to
community members who would put it to good use.
The program, including instructions on how to apply, is described on Meta,
here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hardware_donation_program
Please read the information carefully. I especially encourage you to pay
attention to the program's design considerations, which determine most of
the decisions we'll be making.
We currently have approximately 20 laptops ready to be donated.
Applications are welcome.
The upcoming Wikimedia Conference in Berlin (in about two weeks) would be
an excellent opportunity to deliver some of those laptops in person to
approved applications, so if you think you might be interested, I'd
encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
Please also help spread the word about this program, by forwarding this
e-mail to other Wikimedia lists you're on, and posting the link to the
program page on village pumps and *community* (not public) social media
channels or other communication forms you use.
Special thanks to User:Anntinomy from Wikimedia Ukraine, who had the idea
of asking about possible donation of older machines from WMF, and inspired
this program.
Mini-FAQ:
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: WMF's Office IT determines a lifetime for work machines, and regularly
replaces older machines. This creates a stock of older, working machines,
that are available for donation. We can donate them locally to San
Francisco charities, but figure that if we can find low-cost ways to
deliver them to our own community members, that's so much better.
Q: Am I eligible?
A: Read the fine program documentation.
Q: If I'm eligible, am I guaranteed a donated laptop?
A: no.
Q: Once these 20 laptops are donated, will there be others?
A: yes, eventually.
Q: How can you ensure people would use the machines for Wikimedia purposes?
A: We can't. We'll be making a good-effort assessment of the likelihood of
Wikimedia use, and make a decision to donate (or not) the equipment. Once
donated, the equipment no longer belongs to WMF. We encourage, but can't
enforce, reporting on impact achieved using the equipment.
Q: I need a few laptops for my event in two weeks! Can I get them through
this program?
A: No. Read the fine program documentation.
Q: I'm really happy about this!
A: So are we! :)
Q: I'm really angry about this!
A: So it goes.
Q: I have more questions!
A: Hit 'Reply'. :)
Cheers,
Asaf
Hello everyone
If your country participated to Wiki Loves Africa this year, please fill
in this document to report about events held.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yX1GQHKCheUWkS0-uDlr700KOtvolRMQBHz…
I changed the form a bit this year, in hope to make it easier for you to
fill in quickly.
A few comments
* please only complete the tab related to your country
* please fill in the cells in light grey color
* if you organized more than 6 events... just add a column on the right....
* the list of usernames of participants at the bottom is a "nice to have"
* if you have taken pictures of your events, please add the best of them
to commons (do not only keep that for Facebook....)
* if you have planned other post-contest event... you can add them
later. But please add events which already took place.
Thank you for a quick feedback on this.
---------
As some of you are aware... this is grant season. And request for
funding next WLAf has to be done now.
A draft version is available here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Yorg/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2017
We can not provide the final report for 2016 as the contest is not over
yet. But we will try to submit as much information as possible.
As such, we do need you to
1) fill up the event report document
2) send the supporting documentation of expenses to Elisabeth (I have
heard that some of you guys are not inline...)
Elisabeth mentionned
* no documents from : Algérie, Nigeria, Tunisie, Ouganda et Zimbabwe.
** no answer to her emails from : Tunisie, Algérie.*
Com'on guys... please. Just do it ;)
