This page contains a summary of discussions from the Movement Strategy [[Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition/Global Conversations/Report/December|5-6 December Global Conversations]] regarding the implementation of the [[Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition/List of Initiatives|initiatives]]: '''2. Funding for underrepresented communities'''. Feel free to continue the conversation on Meta by adding your thoughts and comments in the [[talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]].

== 5 December ==
[[file:5 December Global Conversations reporting, room E(1).webm|thumb|220px|Video summary of the discussion (same as the written points, recorded during the events).]]
=== Round 1 ===
Key actions ([[etherpad:p/MSDec5-5|full notes]] on Etherpad):
#Proactively reach out to underrepresented communities. We need to define what we mean by "underrepresented": is it about online or offline activities? One example that has been shared was about the differences between the Korean and Japanese communities. The term "underrepresented" has a broader application, though. It's not always connected to money, as some relatively rich countries are not well represented on Wikimedia - so we need to recognize other barriers as well.
#Address legal/bureaucratic barriers to transferring funding abroad. Funding is important, but it should be provided along with resources, support and information. Underrepresented communities need more of a roadmap and more scaffolding to enable them to access funding. There are also a lot of interdependencies between this initiative and some others, including 32. Leadership development and 34. Facilitate a culture of documentation.
#Create a toolkit for getting started in community building, to support grassroots activities. We need to recognize the intersectionality in underrepresentation. A language community may be underrepresented, but so is the blind community, LGBT+, etc. Implementation needs to acknowledge this.

Further points:
* A clear definition of underrepresented is needed.
* Money is important, but is not the only factor. Resources, support and information are also important. Underrepresented communities need more of a roadmap and more scaffolding to enable them to access funding.
* Underrepresentation is intersectional: e.g. various languages, the LGBT+, and blind communities across the projects and movement.
[[file:5 December Global Conversations reporting, room E(2).webm|thumb|220px|Video summary of the discussion (same as the written points, recorded during the events).]]

=== Round 2 ===
Key actions ([[etherpad:p/MSDec5-5A|full notes]] on Etherpad):
# Address legal barriers to transferring funds, by supporting communities where regulations do not allow certain international exchanges.
# Support and capacity building for affiliates to be able to obtain and manage resources.
# A global fundraising policy with the freedom to fundraise. Hubs can be a good way to coordinate fundraising for communities (and/or countries) in regional proximity, and to prevent multiple non-profits from competing with each other.
# Assistance from well-resources affiliates, either to directly apply for funding or to pledge financial resources to underrepresented groups.
# Compensation for individuals for non-editing work.

== 6 December ==
[[file:6 December Global Conversations reporting, room E(1).webm|thumb|220px|Video summary of the discussion (same as the written points, recorded during the events).]]
=== Round 1 ===
Key actions ([[etherpad:p/MSDec6-5|full notes]] on Etherpad):
# The Foundation needs to evaluate the underrepresented communities individually, in order to figure out what the communities need exactly (each community is unique and the needs might be difficult).
# Identify other resources needed and which of them can be provided through hubs. For example: computers, internet, staff time.
# Improve content for, and by, underrepresented communities. This step links to skill development as well.
[[file:6 December Global Conversations reporting, room E(2).webm|thumb|220px|Video summary of the discussion (same as the written points, recorded during the events).]]

=== Round 2 ===
Key actions ([[etherpad:p/MSDec6-5A|full notes]] on Etherpad):
# Create a simple list of needs that communities can fill up to request support.
# Policy: make sure all the rules to obtain funding are the same for everybody.
# Provide Compensation for time, as well as money, to build Wikimedia communities.
# Dedicate funds for new affiliates (similar to start-up funds).
# Put together a fundraising agreement with a focus to empower underrepresented communities to locally fundraise.
# Proactively reach out to underrepresented communities, making space for them on governance boards.

Sounds good. Are you going to set this up yourself [[User:Pharos|Pharos]]? I thought you were a CN admin, but noticed most of your banners not ending up onwiki. [[User:Ciell|Ciell]] ([[User talk:Ciell|talk]]) 20:26, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|Ciell}} Yes thanks, I'll plan to set this up myself, with maybe a little help informally from Seddon etc. Most of my past CN banners have gone live, but I haven't always posted it to the request page afterward (while including them on the calendar). I'll try to do better with this, I wish the interface for finding and linking to past campains and banners was a little easier.--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 03:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
::Hi [[User:Pharos|Pharos]],
::Just out of interest, I looked at the banner settings for this campaign. Do you know why we have a countries called "Netherlands Antilles"? (Afaik it's been the Dutch Caribbean since 2010, when Aruba and Curacao got a special status.) I can see you were targetting Aruba separately, but don't see any special settings for Curacao, it doesn't even seem to be in the list? And I say "was targetting, because the campaign seems to have ended an hour after it started yesterday? I thought it was supposed to be running untill Saturday?
::That was what I gathered from your request, and what I told the Dutch Carribean working group, who were very interested in the campaign. [[User:Ciell|Ciell]] ([[User talk:Ciell|talk]]) 17:59, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
:::Hi all! Just a question, would it be possible to have this banner extended, to end on Sunday, September 27th at 0500 UTC? There exists a few more people who are still interested in knowing more about the event since we plan to have more installments as the years wear on as well as an on-going collaboration that we want to channel interested parties to within the week. [[User:JamaicanEditor|JamaicanEditor]] ([[User talk:JamaicanEditor|talk]]) 05:18, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
::::{{ping|JamaicanEditor}} what countries/projects/languages are you proposing to extend the banner for? Can you illustrate your request by online discussions, or pages that have more information about the instalments and collaboration you are mentioning? [[User:Ciell|Ciell]] ([[User talk:Ciell|talk]]) 06:17, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
:::::Hi {{ping|Ciell}} The extension would follow for the English-Speaking Caribbean. Translations likely won't come in within the asked-for extension timeframe given our current organization capacity. On the discussion front, the [[Wikimedians of the Caribbean User Group/WikiCari Festival|event]] page, particularly the call-to-action under the frameless image is one part of the focus of post-event engagement. The other (part) is information steering readers & wider community engagement to the now-launched partner initiative, [[News on Wiki/Present|NewsOnWiki Phase 2]] - which is also engaging the Caribbean. Other conversations are unfortunately happening offline but, recognizing the lag-time in the wider public's interest, the call for extension was seen being worth the shot.

== Objectives == 


As with Wikimedians of the Levant, there has not been sufficient participation to establish individual groups, so it has been decided to pursue a group to support the whole region. There is particular interest in supporting languages like Haitian Creole that are particular to the region, developing content covering underrepresented regional topics, and also to support offline access for areas that do not otherwise have access.

== Background == 


*An early group of Caribbean Wikimedians was formed at [https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2018/Main_Page WikiConference North America], at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, October 20th, 2018.


*On 26 July 2019 the [[AffCom|Affiliations Committee]] [[Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/Recognition_of_Wikimedians_of_the_Caribbean_User_Group|officially recognised]] the Wikimedians of the Caribbean User Group (WikiCari).
* Wikimedians of the Caribbean was named the [https://twitter.com/afroCROWDit/status/1194724641450934275 ''Most Exciting New Affiliate in North America''] at WikiConference North America 2019 held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the first year the Caribbean was added as a region at the conference.

'''Join us this week, starting Monday, July 27, for Emancipation Week, a week purposed around calling-to-action increased participation from academia, scholarship, and Wiki editors — helping to enrich content relating to the past and ongoing fights for freedom in the British Caribbean & the wider Americas.'''

==Details==
The 1st of August is a day of significance across many Anglophone Caribbean countries. The day, remarked as the day of commencement (coming to force) of the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 & subsequent unconditional emancipation in 1838, is widely observed as Emancipation Day across the majority of the former British Empire. The fraught & complicated history of the struggle for Emancipation, particularly in the British West Indies — largely buoyed by the gravity of several enslaved people’s uprisings across the region - represents an epochal shift for the African Diaspora in the Americas, the genesis of decolonization, and a likely inferential point for successive emancipation efforts, such as that of in the United States.

Wikimedians of the Caribbean, pursuant of its mandate to increase the salience of issues relating to the peoples of the Caribbean & its diaspora, intends to launch a global campaign — beginning on July 27 — to bring to fore the importance of this moment in history for those in the African Diaspora.

==What happens in the week?==

== Objectives == 


As with Wikimedians of the Levant, there has not been sufficient participation to establish individual groups, so it has been decided to pursue a group to support the whole region. There is particular interest in supporting languages like Haitian Creole that are particular to the region, developing content covering underrepresented regional topics, and also to support offline access for areas that do not otherwise have access.

== Background ==

== Objectives == 


As with Wikimedians of the Levant, there has not been sufficient participation to establish individual groups, so it has been decided to pursue a group to support the whole region. There is particular interest in supporting languages like Haitian Creole that are particular to the region, developing content covering underrepresented regional topics, and also to support offline access for areas that do not otherwise have access.

Wikimedians of the Caribbean User Group/WikiCari Emancipation Week

JamaicanEditor: Sub page start

Talk:Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition

2020-06-23T20:05:12Z

JamaicanEditor: /* Endorsements */

==General discussion space==
=== Title ===
Sorry for making this really boring request, but can we move this page to a more fitting title such as [[Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Implementation]] or something similar? Thanks, --[[User:Gnom|Gnom]] ([[User talk:Gnom|talk]]) 21:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
:+1. Or alternatively, [[Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition]]. --[[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]] ([[User talk:Yair rand|talk]]) 03:06, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
:: Not a boring request at all, [[User:Gnom|Gnom]] and thanks [[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]] for your suggestion!.
:: We have gone back and forth in the internal discussions regarding the address of this page. Feedback that we have received is that the URL for the strategy page has been too long and for this reason a short redirect has been previously created and used (2030.wikimedia.org), which has been really helpful. However, for some time now we will continue to use the short redirect to lead to the Movement Strategy recommendations to keep them easily accessible for everyone. At the same time we would like to make the materials that we start publishing about the "transition" also easily accessible, so that is the reason why this really short URL was chosen.
:: I do understand that it might now be a too big of a shortcut and not ideally fitting, as you rightfully point out. Here are some considerations regarding moving the page:
::* As we are now moving into the Phase III of the Movement Strategy process with the implementation of the recommendations, I am unsure if the 2018-20 portal is the best home for this upcoming information. As we will be referring back to the recommendations in the implementation conversations, I believe it would be useful if the recommendations that the movement has been working on for 2 years has its own easily navigable portal. As a result I would like to (p)reserve [[Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20]] as a home for recommendations we can always refer back to. As [[Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017|Strategic Direction]] and the process behind it has its own.
::* We could go with just 2020 for the transition process, which is one of the options we have considered, i.e. [[Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2020]], but then again it would make sense to have a unified information page for the whole implementation, including the path how we got to the implementation, i.e. this current "transition". At the same time it is hard to set a timeframe on the implementation, so we might need to break the pattern of year numbers and go with /Transition or /Implementation options. What do you think?
::* In this light the idea was to use the "2030" number, as the process has become commonly known as '''Wikimedia 2030''' process. Probably the address should have at least been [[Strategy/Wikimedia2030]] or [[Strategy/Wikimedia_2030]] to be more fitting. What do you think of this one? In a longer run there is a plan to create a central landing page for all the phases of the work on Movement Strategy, so this could be it for that one. Could it be a home for the implementation phase or should it be a separate one to follow the existing pattern regarding the Movement Strategy?
:: I would be interested to hear what do you think would be the best fitting address for this page taking also considerations I just presented into account. Would it be still what you have proposed or are there more fitting options? In any case, I would like current address to have a redirect to a new page, when we move it, for at least 2 weeks, because this link has been shared in different channels and I don't want to confuse people. Looking forward to your suggestions and thank you for your care and proactive suggestions! --[[User:KVaidla (WMF)|KVaidla (WMF)]] ([[User talk:KVaidla (WMF)|talk]]) 10:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
:::Thanks, [[User:KVaidla (WMF)|KVaidla (WMF)]]. I totally see that "Strategy/2030" is way cooler than "Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition". But can we please make this consistent instead of creating ''more'' confusion by splitting everything up? This is one long interlinked strategy process, after all. Now we have ''several'' URL schemes, ''several'' landing pages, ''several'' sets of navigation boxes... Thanks, --[[User:Gnom|Gnom]] ([[User talk:Gnom|talk]]) 18:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
:::: Although I do believe that strategy needs to also be fun and cool to get the people engaged, the choice of the landing place was not really about that. I agree that consistency is a value and so we have replaced the page, keeping the redirect for at least some time. Thank you for sharing your concerns and ideas, [[User:Gnom|Gnom]] and for your suggestion of a fitting home address for this page [[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]].
:::: We still need to work on creating a central page for the whole process where one can easily access all the phases and better understand the work and thinking. Hopefully we are there by the transition events so people are enabled to bring their best understanding to the conversations. Have a great end of the week! --[[User:KVaidla (WMF)|KVaidla (WMF)]] ([[User talk:KVaidla (WMF)|talk]]) 08:29, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

=== Nominations spaces ===
The nomination space on this page says that it's for collaboratives without a default discussion space for nominations. Does this imply that all others do have such default spaces? If so, should there be links to them? (Also, is the section titled "South East Asia" supposed to actually be "South Asia"?) --[[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]] ([[User talk:Yair rand|talk]]) 04:27, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
: Dear [[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]], thank you for pointing this out and asking the question! Yes, many collaboratives have these default spaces, but sometimes they are not public (e.g. Facebook groups, Telegram groups). These are really convenient places for conversations, but not so accessible and transparent as we are used to in the wikiworld. We will gather links here for the ones can be accessed and try to coordinate that the nominations and endorsements from other channels will be at least partially also presented here. It makes complete sense. --[[User:KVaidla (WMF)|KVaidla (WMF)]] ([[User talk:KVaidla (WMF)|talk]]) 19:33, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

==Central nomination space==
For the collaboratives that do not have a default discussion space to gather the nominations.

'''Important note:''' Please nominate (self nomination is also welcome) Wikimedians from your region here. In the case of multiple nominations endorsements received, engagement with the local and global wiki communities and onwiki contribution will be considered to select one representative.

* In seguito all'informazione che il nostro candidato MarMiquel sarà presente come rappresentante degli writers, come WikiDonne UG ci asteniamo dal voto; offriamo però la massima collaborazione con la persona che verrà scelta dagli altri affiliati all'interno di Iberocoop. --[[User:Camelia.boban|Camelia]] ([[User talk:Camelia.boban|talk]]) 15:38, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

== '''What is the Wiki Global Check In?''' == 
We are living in complicated times. In moments like these, the Wikimedia movement is more important than ever.

The Wiki Global Check-In is a chance to check up on members of the Global Wikimedia community and gather snapshots of life during this historical moment we are all witnessing world-wide.

== How do I participate? ==
We invite you to join the check-in by:

* '''Finding your timezone!''' Help us show the check-in around the world!
* '''Saying hello!''' We want to hear from you too!

'''''Yes! That's it!'''''

While you're at it, we want you to leave a time-capsule of edits; to document the movement's actions in this unprecedented time.

<big>'''Here's how you can help.'''</big>

* '''Upload a photo''' to Wikimedia Commons that captures something related to life in your context or part of the world during the pandemic.
* '''Show something you are editing that captures this moment''' whether it be an edit adding a reference about the news, a translation of a key topic on Wikipedia, connecting a WikiData item, transcribing a Wikisource. Share with us an edit that captures what you are working on now as a time capsule for future generations. How are you responding to this moment?
* '''Check in on fellow Wikimedians!''' Wikimedia only works when we do it as a community. Join us at '''0600, 1200, 1800, 2359 GMT (+00)''' for our Check-In stream, live on Jitsi.

Link to follow shortly.

If you can't do more than say hello? That's okay! Just add yourself below and let us know you are there.

== '''What is the Wiki Global Check In?''' == 
We are living in complicated times! But we are also seeing the value of the Wikimedia movement more than ever! The world is turning to us in record numbers.

The Wiki Global Check In is a chance to check up on members of the Global Wikimedia community, and a gather snapshots of life during this historical world-wide moment. We are all witnessing dramatic times.

== How do I participate? ==
We invite you to join the check-in by:

* '''Finding your timezone!''' Help us show the check-in around the world!
* '''Saying hello!'''

Yes! That's it!

But we want to leave a timecapsule of edits to document the movement's actions now. So if you can:

* '''Upload a photo''' to Wikimedia Commons that captures something related to life in your context or part of the world during the pandemic,
* '''Show something you are editing that captures this moment'''. It could be any edit: adding a reference about the news, a translation of a key topic on Wikipedia, connecting a WikiData item, transcribing a Wikisource. Share with us an edit that captures what you are working on now as a time capsule for future generations. How are you responding to this moment?
* '''Check in on fellow Wikimedians!''' Lastly Wikimedia only works when we do it as a community: sent

If you can't do more than say hello: that's okay! Just add yourself below and let us know you are there.

Hi, I'm JamaicanEditor! My interests find me in many places on Wikipedia but my focus is mainly on Telecoms and my home country, Jamaica, and the Caribbean. My curiosity and crave for information usually leads me to read inordinate amounts of Wikipedia articles every day.

== Event overview ==
'''Purpose and vision'''

''Please give a brief description of the event you are planning. What do you hope to accomplish during the event? Why is this event important for your community?''
The purpose of the Wiki Caribbean Forum is to build capacity on the ground of new Wikimedia editors, and partners.

We are going to focus not only on Wikipedia editing but Wikidata and other important areas of the Wikimedia movement like Wiki Commons. We also want to train potential trainers. Our outreach survey showed that there are areas where many are interested in Wikimedia, but the editing numbers can be improved.

We also want a greater representation of information from the Caribbean from people of the Caribbean and its diaspora.

We propose the event be Friday June 12-Sunday June 14 with opening reception the evening of June 11 in Nassau, Bahamas. As an intermediate-scale event, the Forum will serve to connect the regionally-focused Wikimedia community with attendees of the larger ACURIL conference.
'''
Specific goals:'''
The event endeavors:

To help in the promotion, development & support of efforts by and for Caribbean Wikimedians across the region.

To promote regional integration through the bringing-together of various people groups, languages and identities across the Caribbean.

To broaden the user group’s mission reach through to the wider community; a hands-on approach to community engagement.

To assist in capacity-building initiatives through information sharing, developing best practices and experience sharing with regional stakeholders. Regional Stakeholders refers to academia (lecturers, students, librarians etc.), Caribbean wikimedians, Policy makers and other such influencers.

Fostering & supporting sub-regional groupings through the lending & developing of technical and human resource capacities. Currently, WikiCari is building out capacity in regions like Jamaica & Puerto Rico - with the hope of them breaking out into autonomus units under the regional grouping. The idea is to have units that work on localized programming with regional cooperation fostered though WikiCari.

To foster a platform and model for future region-wide community integration & coworking efforts.

Create opportunity for Caribbean trainers to expand their skills and experiences in delivering training that reflects the needs and context of the Caribbean region and it’s communities

Welcome newcomers to the wiki community and talk about what it means to be a Wikipedian. The first task would be identifying the scope of "newcomers" (if no such hard-and-fast parameter exists in Wiki lexicon). From there, building out programming for their specific uses would be crucial. We are actively recruiting quite a bit of new Wikipedians with our current outreach. The hope is to involve up to a selection of them to compose a 50/50 mix in audience. The thought behind this is that training-heavy programming might be cost-intensive. For that reason, setting the agenda around ideas that transcend different stages of Wiki users would be more effective. The themes would be such like Wikipedia in Education, Pedagogical measurement using Wiki Dashboards, Teaching WikiCode, Caribbean Feminism through the lens of Wikipedia, Knowledge-as-a-Service for the public good: Democratizing information for the purpose of encouraging fact-consciousness. This is a brief summation of what I had behind the idea.

Other Areas to look at:
Environment/effects of climate change for island nations
Indigeneity
Caribbean history
Structured data
Caribbean Heritage/ culture/ music
Wiki Commons contributions

'''Survey analysis:'''

# How many people did you send the survey to? How many people responded to the survey?

{| class="wikitable"
|-
|Over 3000+ people responded to our Reader & Editor survey. The survey was served across the Caribbean, in 33 territories and in 3 languages; in English, French and Spanish.
|}

# Did you see consensus around shared goals that this community wants to focus on in the next 12 months? What were the top 2 goals? Consensus gained from the survey focused on developing a more active presence across the Wikimedia Community. Caribbean authors help colour content about region by those of the region.
# Based on survey responses, what are the most important things your community should do at the conference to achieve those goals? The most pressing needs emanating from the surveys would need an agenda set around ideas that transcend different stages of Wiki users. The themes would be such like Wikipedia in Education, Pedagogical measurement using Wiki Dashboards, Teaching WikiCode, Caribbean Feminism through the lens of Wikipedia, Knowledge-as-a-Service for the public good: Democratizing information for the purpose of encouraging fact-consciousness.
The user group considers the event to be the primary form of engagement. For this, the user group’s communications team will input participant data into a CRM platform; for further messaging and feedback. Additionally, the user group has already made inroads with establishing projects in some of the jurisdictions concerned. The user groupintends to continue in building on this.
Yes, we intended to have WMF presence at the event.
Events Team, Education Team and other like teams the foundation recommends. We believe that these teams provide valuable advisory and training help that are uniquely germane to the issue.

=== Context ===
''It is helpful to get an understanding of why this event is important to your community, and what experiences you have had in the past. Please answer the applicable questions below.''

: 1. What inspired your community to begin planning this event?
:: This conference is being led by the Wiki Cari usergroup, which itself first came together at WikiConference North America 2018. It was recognized that there is a broad community of Wikimedians both in the Caribbean and in the diaspora, but this community had not been able to come together before for a meeting or joint activities. A regional conference like WikiConference North America or Wiki Indaba or the CEE Conference could help to solidify a common feeling and help grow the network of connections and shared experiences between different parts of the Caribbean.

: 2. How does this event relate to other activities that your community is working on?
:: This event is a follow-up to our Carribean survey of 2018 where we reached out to readers and editors in 33 countries of the broader region and 3 languages, promoted by a geographical centralnotice banner. This brought together many new contacts both from experienced Wikimedia editors, and those working in information and technology fields who could be helpful to our efforts. Some of these we helped direct to WikiConference North America 2019, and more from this set will be able to come to the dedicated Caribbean meeting. We are also following up on previous activities in the region, such as by Black Lunch Table in Trinidad and Jamaica, AfroCROWD’s edit-a-thon and training in Dominica, Wiki goes Caribbean in Aruba, the Haiti usergroup, our presentations at Wikimania and Wiki COnference North America and our recent joint efforts in Puerto Rico. 

: 3. Please list the priorities identified in the report from the last conference organized by this community. What progress have you made in those areas?

:: This will be the first conference organized by this community, but we do have a list of priorities, some gleaned from our experiences as active members of the Wikimedia community in general.

: 4. If your community has hosted a similar conference in the past, what key lessons were learned, and what would you like to improve on?

:: We have hosted events in Puerto Rico, Dominica, Trinidad, and Jamaica. These were predominantly capacity building events.
:: We have learned to be flexible according to the needs and growth levels of our audience. We have also learned that each location provides an oportunity to train trainers in the community. We have also learned that providing options for continued learning without a online connection can be useful in locations that have bandwidth options or costs that can limit legnthy editing. This is why offline available video tutorials for example are helpful. In person training is also valuable for that reason, making capacity buiding events like this even more valuable. We also learned that a lot can be done via vdieo link, but on the ground helpers and organizers a very necessary. Our successful Puerto Rico event at Microsoft Puerto Rico's office, which focused on Wikidata, we organized in the span of a week over the US's Thanksgiving holiday, could not have happened without connecting with our organizers on the ground through our interviews via our strategic outreach during our online survey period (we used tools like online media, video link and other communications) and in person connection during Wiki Conference North America. A mini conference linke this forum can allow for continued connection like this to grow capacity.

== Plan ==

=== Venue and Logistics ===

: 1. If the venue is more than 1 hour away from a major airport or transportation hub, how will participants travel to the event venue?
:: Currently, we are in the process of securing venues. All possible venues (for both accommodations and the conference itself) are within 15 minutes from each other and 15-30 minutes from the airport. Notably, the Bahamar Resort is only 15 minutes away from the Nassau International Hotel and has three hotels: the Rosewood, Hyatt and SLS. It boasts full service, offers discounted rates for conference attendees at all three hotels and also has its own art gallery, The Current, that can be booked for programming. Alternatively, we are looking into securing Airbnbs that can accommodate several attendees each.
::
:: Additional information about the venue Venues we are considering include:
::* Hillside House: An art gallery with a lovely courtyard and interior in Nassau. They sustained damage during Hurricane Dorian but the owner is a former professor who has connections at the University of the Bahamas and might be able to help us have the event there as well if Hillside is unavailable by the time of the conference.
::* The National Gallery of The Bahamas: The NGB hosts a robust programming schedule and may be interested in hosting as well.
::* Doongalik Studios which is also a community art space.
: 2. Is the event venue within walking distance from the hotel? If not, how will people travel between the two locations?
:: Attendees will be provided with a shuttle from their accommodations to the venue daily but are also welcome to use public transportation and taxi services at their own discretion.
: 3. Is the event venue and hotel accessible for people with physical disabilities?
:: At the Hyatt location, there are accessible paths throughout the hotel and the rooms have accessible showers and bathrooms. Bahamar has non-motorized and motorized wheelchairs are available at the resort for transportation use only for a fee that we will cover for participants. While not yet confirmed, we will prioritize venues that are accessible to participants with a range of abilities.
: 4. Do you anticipate any challenges with using the space for the event you are planning?
:: No.

=== Friendly space policy ===
''Please link to the friendly space policy that your community will be using for this event.''

We plan to use the guidlines of this [[wmnl:Friendly_space_policy|Friendly Space Policy.]]

=== Participation ===
''It is crucial that most participants have a minimum level of Wikimedia experience so that they can engage actively in workshops and discussions. Please answer all applicable questions below.''

: 1. Please describe the target audience for this conference or event.
:: We are targeting a 50/50 mix of new Wikipedians and experienced Wikipedians. Of the new Wikipedians, most will comprise academia and students alike (composition of which is determined by applicant pool for scholarships and interested parties).
: 2. If your conference has an outreach component, how will you ensure engagement with these participants after the conference, and what impact do you see them having on the projects?
:: The user group considers the event to be the primary form of engagement. For this, the user group’s communications team will input participant data into a CRM platform; for further messaging and feedback. Additionally, the user group has already made inroads with establishing projects in some of the jurisdictions concerned.
: 3. Are you thinking about inviting WMF staff to attend or participate in the event? If yes, please list individuals or teams who you may want to invite, or describe how you would like WMF staff to be involved in the event.
:: PLACEHOLDER TEXT

=== Scholarships ===

: 1. How many scholarships would you like to offer?
:: We propose 25-35 scholarships (based on the costings for the conference hitherto)
: 2. What expenses will the scholarship cover?
:: The scholarships will cover travel costs, accommodation, social events and, food and beverage during the conference.
: 3. How will scholarship recipients be selected?
::* The selection scheme will favor two broad groups. 1. Established chapters & user groups: To be selected based on their boards, on-wiki discussions or general meetings of their organizations. 2. Individual applicants: Most active and engaged Wikimedians (preferably on Wikipedia & Wikidata), based on their submissions or, providing a lack thereof, history of on-wiki and off-wiki collaborations. **must selection scheme be transparent to everyone or just the Foundation? The scope of scholarships will focus on four main groups: 
::# '''Nationals:''' Nationals of the hosting country will be within the intended scope of the scholarship, having satisfied the aforementioned scheme.
::# '''Regional Nationals:''' Regional nationals will be within the intended scope of the scholarship, having satisfied the aforementioned scheme. These nationals will be considered based on their belonging to a specific national grouping. For the purposes of this conference, these groupings include CARICOM, French Overseas Departments, US Unincorporated Territories, Netherlands Antilles or, any such lands nearby to the Caribbean Sea.[1]
::# '''Diaspora:''' Diasporic Nationals will also be within the intended scope of the scholarships, having also satisfied the aforementioned scheme. Additional . requirements dictate that the work be such within the movement, uniquely germane to the communities, identities, cultures and other parts thereof - represented regionally by the ‘Caribbean’ grouping.
::# '''Minority/Experts/Special Interests:''' Additional scope required for representation from applicants from minority/special interest groups. Such designation takes into account more qualitative descriptors; inferential. (Protected Minority List from the US to serve as precedent but not explicitly. ----[1] Nearness is contingent on distance < 200nm from the capital city. This excludes countries in Central & South America that do not fit in the aforementioned country groupings listed

|Venue & Materials
|
* Try to partner with like-minded institutions that can offer their space free of charge or at a discount.
* Will be working with the ACURIL conference for locating a convenient low cost space. Right now we are looking at these potential venues for the conference:

* Hillside House: is an art gallery with a lovely courtyard and interior but it is unclear if they are in a position to host post Hurricane Dorian. The owner is a former teacher who has connections at the University of the Bahamas and might be able to help us have the event there as well if Hillside is unavailable;
* National Gallery of The Bahamas: they host a lot of community events and I can reach out to find out who is in charge of programming events;
* The Current: an art gallery/programming space that is part of the BahaMar resort. They may not be able to host the event but we can perhaps look into sponsorship for discounted rooms etc.
* And lastly, there is Doongalik Studios which is also a community art space and I am not sure about their capacity but the owner is also a former teacher and could be a good resource.
* Alternatively we are also looking at at a space the Comfort Suites Paradise Island, 1 Paradise Island Drive, Paradise Island, SS6202 Nassau, Bahamas where we are also expecting to lodge conference staff.
** The cost for this option would be:

* Stickers:
* Printed banners:
* Reusable signs:

*The Caribbean has long been forgotten. This region of nearly 30 million people has a unique story to tell, and a unique blend of history, languages, cultures, identities, and people. WikiCari aims to help buttress the vision; helping put the region on the map and support local & trans-regional initiatives in achieving these goals.

I wholeheartedly endorse the venture! [[User:JamaicanEditor|JamaicanEditor]] ([[User talk:JamaicanEditor|talk]]) 04:28, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

'''The Wikimedians of the Caribbean Usergroup''' is a Wikimedia user group for the peoples of the Caribbean and the Caribbean Diaspora, bringing together cultures and languages, and also the islands with their diasporas. If you are interested in participating in some capacity, please indicate that by adding your username to the Interested in Participating section below and/or fill out [<tvar|signup-form-url>https://forms.gle/JkZPkNfBhCsMZu4N6</> this form].

== Objectives == 


As with Wikimedians of the Levant, there has not been sufficient participation to establish individual groups, so it has been decided to pursue a group to support the whole region.

== History == 


Early group formed at Wikiconference North America, at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, October 20th, 2018.

== Activities == 


'''2019'''
* '''April:''' Wikipedia edit-a-thon, Trinidad
* '''May-June:''' 1Lib1Ref Caribbean Librarians Campaign, online
* '''June:''' June group online meeting
* '''June-August''': Caribbean Wikimedians survey of Caribbean community, online
* '''July:''' Monthly partners meeting focusing on survey
* '''August:''' Monthly partners meeting closing survey
* '''September:''' Monthly partners meeting focus Wiki Conference North America
* '''October:''' Monthly partners meeting
