In the last episode of season 2, we talk about ways to distribute tech development based on projects and ideas from the Global Majority. Our guests describe the way they have been developing software around lexicographical data as well as community training around Wikidata, supported by a grant from Arcadia Fund acquired by Wikimedia Deutschland.

Our guests are… 

Benedict Udeh is a member of the Igbo Wikimedia User Group and the founder of the Ig Wikidata Hub which is the Wikidata arm of the User Group. He is the founder and program coordinator for Wiki Mentor Africa. Benedict also works for WMF as a movement communications specialist but will be speaking today as member of the Igbo Wikimedia User Group and the program coordinator for Wiki Mentor Africa.

Raisha Abdillah is based in Jakarta, Indonesia, and has been part of the Wikimedia Movement since 2016, starting as a Wikidata contributor. She has a background in computer engineering and has organized many Wikidata-related events in Indonesia, including workshops, talks, trainings, and meetups. Right now, she is part of the Wikidata Software Collaboration Team and will tell us in a minute what her role is.

Maria Lechner joined Wikimedia Deutschland in July 2022. As the project manager for the multiyear project “Software Collaboration for Wikidata”, funded by the Arcadia Fund, Maria manages the project resources, communicates with stakeholders, provides support for the project partners, and documents the project process to ensure the whole Movement can learn from this prototype of a transnational software collaboration.

Last month, a text called the “Global Majority Wikimedia Technology Priorities" was published on Meta. This is a manifesto, signed by a growing number of Wikimedia organizations and individuals, which addresses decision making about technology in the Wikimedia Movement - particularly when it comes to creating technology that is designed for users of the global majority and in emerging communities. We talk to two of the initiators of the research and the text, and they relate their work to movement strategy and knowledge as a service.

What's in this episode...

In this episode we talk about the Wikimedia Movement Charter - the “artifact” that spells out who we are, what values we have, and what roles and responsibilities the various Movement bodies have. The close-to final draft of the charter is now online for comments and review. We talk with two members of the Movement Charter Drafting committee, and a community member involved in the original strategy formation. We touch upon the history of the charter, the motivation and work that went into it. We learn what if affirms and what it adds. We also find out why it ended up being a short document!

In this podcast episode we interview two long-time non-binary Wikipedia editors, Pax and Tamzin. They discuss their efforts to improve the representation of marginalized groups and reduce harassment on Wikipedia, reinforcing the importance of the movement strategy's focus on safety and inclusion. The guests talked about their fight against vandalism and provided a critical perspective on the neutral point of view policy. The episode sheds light on the challenges and the progress that we face as a Movement as we try to create a Wikipedia that is safer and that better represents trans and non-binary people and content.

Our guests are...

Pax Ahimsa Gethen, editor on the English Wikipedia since 2008 and Media Contributor of the Year 2023. Pax is a queer Black trans blogger and photographer, and long-time resident of San Francisco.

In this episode we go back to the origins of movement strategy. We shed a light on some of the concepts that are foundational to the strategy and to how Wikimedia projects are governed since the beginning: decentralization and subsidiarity. Our guests explain where these concepts came from, and why they are central to the future governance model. We explore what decentralization could mean in practice for areas such as fundraising, software development and advocacy.

What can be done to strengthen our community governance and the people holding it up? (Note: this will not be the last conversation we will host on these issues, as other voices should be surfaced too)

Lydia gives an update on what is happening with Wikidata, and Denny shares about a newer project - Abstract Wikipedia, which aims to let more people share more knowledge in more languages. Abstract Wikipedia allows people to create and maintain Wikipedia articles in a language-independent way. A particular language Wikipedia can then translate the article into its language. We also touch on Wikifunctions, and large-language models and how it all relates.

Regional and thematic hubs continue to be the hot topic among many Wikimedians pursuant to the strategy recommendations. Many affiliates and volunteers have done hub-like work for a long time, and hubs now seem to provide a vehicle to formalize and financially sustain that work. The idea of having structures that help people share resources, do fundraising together, and make decisions at the regional level reverberates with many. Today we have Johnny Allegre and Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska to give us updates on hub activities in Asia and Eastern Europe.

In this episode we talk about new projects to connect the people of our movement for mutual aid. Our movement is constantly growing and diversifying, all across the globe. New people are joining and new communities are forming every day. As volunteers and as staff of affiliates, they are having to acquire new skills, figure out how to organize, form organizations, do outreach and advocacy, and work with institutions and governments. For every skill or piece of knowledge that a Wikimedian is looking for, there is probably another Wikimedian who has figured it out or has the answer. But how do they find each other?

We are looking back at years of complaints about how Wikimedia technology is outdated and exclusive. Non-encyclopedic forms of knowledge are still impossible or hard to insert into our existing formats. The last big innovation from our movement is Wikidata, which is now almost ten years old. Movement Strategy calls on us to innovate our technical and social systems so that new and marginalized communities can join and share their knowledge. We talk about the UNLOCK accelerator program, how it is being implemented in collaboration with WMS and WMDE this year, and explore how the movement can become more of an innovation ecosystem.

Our guests are...

*Kannika Thaimai, Program lead of the UNLOCK accelerator at Wikimedia Deutschland

Before joining Wikimedia Deutschland in 2019, Kannika worked in a social startup and supported other social startups through their various development phases.

*Ivana Madžarević, Program and Community Support Manager at Wikimedia Serbia

Together with Kannika, Ivana runs the accelerator program for innovation in our movement. Before joining Wikimedia Serbia 8 years ago, Ivana worked many years in the NGO sector.

Wiki Movimento Brasil surveyed the Portuguese speaking communities about some of the big juicy concepts in the MS20230 recommendations - equity in decision making, leadership development and diversity. By doing that, they reached many community members not previously engaged. In this pod they talk about the insights, opportunities and challenges that emerged. These Wikimedians are showing the way of how we can make the strategy come to life at community level, and jointly figure out what our next steps are locally and regionally. We also talk about money, building communities and the Movement Charter Drafting Committee….

Our guests are…

• Érica Azzellini, Wiki Movimento Brasil's Community Manager

Érica is in charge of community support, partnerships and strategy development at Wiki Movimento Brasil. She is also a member of the movement charter drafting committee.
