Discussion and proposed changes are welcome on the [[meta:talk:Privacy policy|talk page at Meta]].'' :''It is requested that this notice is translated and linked from the footer (MediaWiki:Copyright) of every page.'' == Summary == If you only read the Wikimedia project websites, no more information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites in general. If you contribute to the Wikimedia projects, you are '''publishing''' every word you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained forever. This includes articles, user pages and talk pages. Some limited exceptions are described below. ==Publishing on the wiki and public data == Simply visiting the web site does not expose your identity publicly (but see [[#Private logging|private logging]] below). When you edit any page in the wiki, '''you are publishing a document'''. This is a public act, and you are identified publicly with that edit as its author. === Identification of an author === When you publish a page in the wiki, you may be logged in or not. If you are logged in, you will be identified by your user name. This may be your real name if you so choose, or you may choose to publish under a pseudonym, whatever user name you selected when you created your account. If you have not logged in, you will be identified by your network IP address. This is a series of four numbers which identifies the Internet address from which you are contacting the wiki. Depending on your connection, this number may be traceable only to a large Internet service provider, or specifically to your school, place of business, or home. It may be possible that the origin of this IP address could be used in conjunction with any interests you express implicitly or explicitly by editing articles to identify you even by private individuals. It may be either difficult or easy for a motivated individual to connect your network IP address with your real-life identity. Therefore if you are very concerned about privacy, you may wish to log in and publish under a pseudonym. When using a pseudonym, your IP address will not be available to the public except in cases of abuse, including vandalism of a wiki page by you or by another user with the same IP address. In all cases, your IP address will be stored on the wiki servers and can be seen by Wikimedia's server administrators and by users who have been granted "[[meta:CheckUser|CheckUser]]" access. Your IP address, and its connection to any usernames that share it may be released under certain circumstances (see below). If you use a company mail server from home or telecommute and use a DSL or cable Internet connection, it is likely to be very easy for your employer to identify your IP address and find all of your IP based Wikimedia project contributions. Using a user name is a better way of preserving your privacy in this situation. However, remember to log out or disconnect yourself after each session using a pseudonym on a shared computer, to avoid allowing others to use your identity. === Cookies === The wiki will set a temporary session cookie (PHPSESSID) whenever you visit the site. If you do not intend to ever log in, you may deny this cookie, but you cannot log in without it. It will be deleted when you close your browser session. More cookies may be set when you log in, to avoid typing in your user name (or optionally password) on your next visit. These last up to 30 days. You may clear these cookies after use if you are using a public machine and don't wish to expose your username to future users of the machine. (If so, clear the browser cache as well.) === Passwords === Many aspects of the Wikimedia projects' community interactions depend on the reputation and respect that is built up through a history of valued contributions. User passwords are the only guarantee of the integrity of a user's edit history. All users are encouraged to select strong passwords and to never share them. No one shall knowingly expose the password of another user to public release either directly or indirectly. == Private logging == Every time you visit a web page, you send a lot of information to the web server. Most web servers routinely maintain access logs with a portion of this information, which can be used to get an overall picture of what pages are popular, what other sites link to this one, and what web browsers people are using. It is not the intention of the Wikimedia projects to use this information to keep track of legitimate users. These logs are used to produce the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Statistics site statistics pages]; the raw log data is not made public, and is normally discarded after about two weeks. Here's a sample of what's logged for one page view: 64.164.82.142 - - [21/Oct/2003:02:03:19 +0000] "GET /wiki/draft_privacy_policy HTTP/1.1" 200 18084 "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_projects:Village_pump" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85.5" Log data may be examined by developers in the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down badly-behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site. IP addresses of users, derived either from those logs or from records in the database are frequently used to correlate usernames and network addresses of edits in investigating abuse of the wiki, including the suspected use of malicious "sockpuppets" (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruption of the wiki. === Policy on release of data derived from page logs === It is the policy of Wikimedia that personally identifiable data collected in the server logs, or through records in the database via the CheckUser feature, may be released by the system administrators or users with CheckUser access, in the following situations: # In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law enforcement # With permission of the affected user # To the chair of Wikimedia Foundation, his/her legal counsel, or his/her designee, when necessary for investigation of abuse complaints. # Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues. # Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers # Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.<!-- this line borrowed from Google--> Wikimedia policy does not permit public distribution of such information under any circumstances, except as described above. == Sharing information with third parties == Except where otherwise specified, all text added to Wikimedia projects is available for reuse under the terms of the GFDL, except for Wikinews, where the text is available under a Creative Commons License. Wikimedia will not sell or share private information, such as email addresses, with third parties, unless you agree to release this information, or it is required by law to release the information. ==Security of information== The Wikimedia Foundation makes no guarantee against unauthorized access to any information you provide. This information may be available to anyone with access to the servers. A partial list of those people can be found in the [[m:developers|developers]] list. == E-mail, mailing lists and IRC== === E-mail === You may provide your e-mail address in your Preferences and enable other logged-in users to send email to you through the wiki. Your address will not be revealed to them unless you respond, or possibly if the email bounces. The email address may be used by the Wikimedia Foundation to communicate with users on a wider scale. If you do not provide an email address, you will not be able to reset your password if you forget it. However, you may contact one of the Wikimedia server administrators to enter a new mail address in your preferences. You can remove your email address from your preferences at any time to prevent it being used. === Mailing lists=== If you subscribe to one of the project [http://lists.wikimedia.org/ mailing lists], your address will be exposed to any other subscriber. The list archives of most of Wikimedia's mailing lists are public, and your address may find itself quoted in messages. The list archives are also archived by Gmane and other services. Mails are usually not deleted or modified, but it may be done in extreme cases. === Information email addresses === Some email addresses (see below) may forward mail to a team of volunteers trusted by the Foundation to use a ticket system such as OTRS to view them and answer them. Mail sent to the system is not publicly visible, but is visible to this group of Wikimedia volunteers. By sending a mail to one of these addresses, your address may become public within this group. The ticket system team may discuss the contents of your mail with other contributors in order to best answer your query. Addresses that direct to the ticket system system include: *info-de AT wikipedia DOT org *info-en AT wikipedia DOT org *info-es AT wikipedia DOT org *info-fr AT wikipedia DOT org *info-it AT wikipedia DOT org *info-nl AT wikipedia DOT org *info-pl AT wikipedia DOT org Mail to board members' private addresses may also be forwarded to the OTRS team. === IRC === [[m:IRC channels|IRC channels]] are not officially part of Wikimedia proper. By participating in an IRC channel, your IP address may be exposed to other participants. Different channels have different policies on whether logs may be published. == User data == Data on users, such as the times at which they edited and the number of edits they have made are publicly available via "user contributions" lists, and in aggregated forms published by other users. === Removal of user accounts === Once created, user accounts will not be removed. It may be possible for a username to be changed (depending on the policies of your local wiki). The Wikimedia Foundation does not guarantee that a name will be changed on request. Whether specific user information is deleted is dependant on the deletion policies of the project that contains the information. == Deletion of content == Removing text from Wikimedia projects does not permanently delete it. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any user with "administrator" access on the wiki, meaning almost anyone trusted not to abuse the deletion capability, can see what was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access to the servers, but there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to legal action. jr722q2mg878uvj1fu7fnuam4tnu48s 2 76 226 2007-11-18T11:19:01Z DerHexer 36 new 226 wikitext text/x-wiki I live in Berlin, Germany, and I'm a sysop at [[:w:en:User:DerHexer|en.wikipedia]] and at [[:w:de:User:DerHexer|de.wikipedia]].

To encourage people to contribute and donate, to promote our ideology * Invest in technology ecosystem * Differentiate goals - vision & operational * 4 goal topics for discussion were media awareness, quality, developing countries, organization and growth & fundraising ==SWOT== ===Strengths=== * Ideology (free culture) * "nerds" * Community * Goodwill - of volunteers, donors, and press * Independence * Non-commercial * Language diversity * Participatory (democracy) ===Weaknesses=== * Too many opportunities * Unfocused * Bureaucracy (not easy to use, rules for rules sake) * Preserving status quo * Communication * Quality assurance for educational purposes * Credibility * User interface * New user needs * Western / geek perspectives ===Opportunities=== * iCommons to work with Wikimedia communities. Especially useful for smaller countries to work with similar groups. *:Why isn't it happening? Capacity, organizational structure * Creative Commons * OSI * Expansion of use *:Non-Internet based * Discover the real purpose of community content * Reliable sources (quality) * Showcase of free culture ===Threats=== * Decreased search rankings /not reaching people * Competitors (therefore: free culture value is important) * Lack of innovation allowing others to launch our projects in a "better" way * Limited infrastructure preventing expansion of use * Reluctance to innovate * Stagnation and tunnel vision * Decreased good will (PR crises) * Conflict between focus and tunnel vision * Legal issues - enforcing licenses versus helping people to use the content correctly ==Priorities== === Evolving the Organization === * Need to be able to access deals and handle business development in a more structured way * Could learn from groups like Ubuntu. Ubuntu has 100 teams - alternative to chapters. Based around locality, but mostly around subject areas (art, documentation, etc). Mako is very involved in this. Tasks teams can do include building relationships with entitles through meetings and events. Annual creation of work groups with campaign for volunteers to join and a guide to such groups. Groups can apply for a one-off logo use license. HQ sends merchandise to the teams - like conference supplies. * Group coordinator. '''Outreach''' Need an entrepreneurs' guide to Wikipedia. One ideas was to encourage grant-givers to add a Wikipedia clause (grantees have to add info to Wikipedia related to their research being funded). Would need a pilot to show it works, and information on how it works. Offline version creation outreach - a pilot to show people how to do that. Communications - need a newsletter. ===Quality=== ''Everyone's a Wikipedian... they just don't know it yet'' -- Ward Cunningham Encourage media literacy and critical thinking skills (instead?)(makes quality not such a problem). "Edit Wikipedia Day" : give people info on how and where to edit (no writing about yourself) : admins would need to be prepared (and friendlier) : see also the German Wikipedia Academy < http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy> : could be sponsored (fundraising opportunity) : global, or on different special days locally. Participation - need more cross-project integration (Wikipedia hardly links to Wikinews let alone the other projects).

Another objective is for the participants to get to know each other, to find out each others skills, to share insight on free knowledge and non-profits organization, and hopefully, start building teams. ===Context Coming into the Retreat=== * Wikimedia Foundation houses international, on-line projects delivering free content, among which an encyclopedia that has the potential to be “the greatest effort in collaborative knowledge gathering the world has ever known,” in the words of Marshall Poe, Atlantic Monthly, Sept 2006. * Wikimedia Foundation is a geographically and culturally diverse organization that relies on the work of thousands of volunteers worldwide to support the key projects. * Wikimedia Foundation created an advisory board a few months ago, but opportunities for advisory board members, board members and top executives to meet and share face-to-face experience did not occur yet. Online, natural opportunities for trust and team building are few. * The organization is facing growth issues consistent with its age: * Pressure to more clearly define the organization * Staff growth and in particular arrival of top executive in WMF staff * Board turnover (elections in july 2007) * Board and staff roles (hands-on vs. policy, advocacy, etc.) * Relationships between board and advisory board * Chapter/member growth and influence * Increasing media attention and criticism * Funding challenges and opportunities * Choosing affiliations, partnerships, and vital roles for community members * Measurement and evaluation ===Retreat Goals === * Foster good relationships among board, advisory board and some staff members * Draft a value statement * Consider, through discussion and dialogue, strategic issues related to the future of Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia Foundation * Identify, through a creative effort, the changes that such strategies might necessitate * Outline strategic objectives, action plans and timeline * Engage in-depth conversation that yields shared goals for mission, governance and organizational sustainability * Focus should be put in 4 underlying themes : organization’s values, quality issues, governance, and how to have more presence in developing countries ===Expected outcomes=== The meeting is intended to produce the following outcomes * A collection of expert statements made by the participants in response to the aims of the meeting * A report made by the organizers evaluating the event and its outcomes * The establishment of a modality for future involvement, locally or globally, online or offline * A selection of podcasts from participants, shortly offering one idea, one statement, on the issue of free knowledge, free content etc… ----------- ==Retreat schedule== ''To be written'' ==Background== ==Values== The organization needs to establish a strategic framework for significant success. This framework consists of: * a vision for the future, * a mission that defines what we are doing, * values that shape our actions, * and goals and action plans to guide the daily, weekly and monthly actions. Effective organizations identify and develop a clear, concise and shared meaning of values/beliefs, priorities, and direction so that everyone understands and can contribute. Once defined, values must impact every aspect of the organization. In october 2006, a first board retreat was organized in Frankfurt. This goal of this retreat was in particular (but not limited) to review and agree upon vision, mission, strategic objectives, action plans and timeline. Following this retreat, vision and mission where redefined Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment. The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop neutral educational content under a free content license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally. In collaboration with a network of chapters, the Foundation provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of multilingual wiki projects and other endeavors which serve this mission. The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity. Values are traits or qualities that are considered worthwhile; they represent an organization’s highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. Value statements are grounded in values and define how people want to behave with each other in the organization. The value statement is about how the organization will value readers, editors, staff, internal community, board members, chapter members, advisory board members, partners and donors. Value statement should describe actions that are the living enactment of the fundamental values held by most individuals within the organization. ==Question areas to be tackled== 3mucizl9fi2xjwyclbf7j3a9wz8vxyd 48 47 2007-07-06T07:36:45Z 86.206.49.163 /* Values */ 48 wikitext text/x-wiki Wikimedia Foundation : advisory board retreat<br> Wikimania, Taipei 1-2 August 2007 Questions, aims and outcomes :Working document for the meeting ==Preambule== Not written yet ===Overall Purpose === The retreat is fundamentally a strategic planning retreat with dedicated time to address organization-wide goals and issues.

Value statement should describe actions that are the living enactment of the fundamental values held by most individuals within the organization. ===Strategic planning=== Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is on the entire organization. The interest of establishing a strategic plan is to help to clarify the organization's plans and ensure that key leaders are all "on the same script". But even more important than the strategic plan document, is the strategic planning process itself.<br> There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc. For example, there are a variety of strategic planning models, including goals-based, issues-based or scenario model. Goals-based planning is probably the most common and starts with focus on the organization's mission (and vision and/or values), goals to work toward the mission, strategies to achieve the goals, and action planning (who will do what and by when). Issues-based strategic planning often starts by examining issues facing the organization, strategies to address those issues, and action plans. Scenario model, which may be also considered as technique consists in identifying external forces and imagining related changes which might influence the organization, then for each change, discuss three different organizational scenarios (best case, worse case and reasonable case) which might arise as a result of each change, then identify potential strategies to respond to each change. While Wikipedia was created in 2001, the Wikimedia Foundation was funded in 2003 by Jimbo and two collegues of his. Jimbo drafted a mission statement, which was naturally included in the bylaws, and over time, a vision statement developped organically. Mission and vision were redefined during Frankfurt board retreat in 2006. Since 2003, the Foundation has been growing little by little, mostly pressured to keep up with the growing Wikipedia. Daily issues usually had more priority that any attempt of strategy, due to time constraints and scarse human resources. In the past months, we have both been trying to use the goals-based model and the issue based model. During the Frankfurt retreat, mostly attended by board, staff, key people, and chapter representative (what we could define as the core of the internal community), we did an environmental scan, review the mission and vision (which were both later proposed to the community for comment and finally voted upon by the board in april 07). Amongst the logical way to look at strategic planning, one can find three logical steps First, strategic analysis. <br> This activity can include conducting some sort of scan, or review, of the organization's environment (for example, of the political, social, economic and technical environment). Participants can carefully consider various driving forces in the environment regarding the organization. Most typicall, a SWOT. Second, setting strategic direction<br> Essentially, setting conclusions about what the organization must do as a result of the major issues and opportunities facing the organization. These conclusions include what overall accomplishments (or strategic goals) the organization should achieve, and the overall methods (or strategies) to achieve the accomplishments. Goals should be designed and worded as much as possible to be specific, measurable, acceptable to those working to achieve the goals, realistic, timely, extending the capabilities of those working to achieve the goals, and rewarding to them, as well (a point particularly important in an organization largely based on volunteers). Within this phase, the strategic philosophy can be identified and updated. This includes identifying or updating the organization's mission, vision and/or values statements. Third is action planning.<br> Action planning is carefully laying out how the strategic goals will be accomplished. Action planning often includes specifying objectives, or specific results, with each strategic goal. Therefore, reaching a strategic goal typically involves accomplishing a set of objectives along the way. Action planning also includes specifying responsibilities and timelines with each objective, or who needs to do what and by when. It should also include methods to monitor and evaluate the plan, which includes knowing how the organization will know who has done what and by when. It's common to develop an annual plan (sometimes called the operational plan or management plan), which includes the strategic goals, strategies, objectives, responsibilities and timelines that should be done in the coming year. Often, organizations will develop plans for each major function, division department, etc., and call these work plans. Looking in the past and particularly looking back at Frankfurt retreat, the outcome of the meeting was in large part action planning, which was probably fine given the unique situation at that time and the nature of the people attending the retreat (largely involved in operations). The situation today is different. The organization has grown up, we have more staff and more management. Attendees will be far less involved in operations. This meeting should really be focused on determining the organization's strategic direction (values, overall achievement, overall methods). Given the diversity of the attendance, it would make sense as well to use this opportunity to work on threats and scenarios to do a little bit of contingency planning. The outcome of the meeting will be drafted in a document, which will be submitted for comments to the community. Another meeting will follow, with an attendance mostly focused on some board members, staff and key people, to review the direction and start working on action planning. However, room should be left to discuss very specific issues, which might be more operational, but relevant to discuss anyway. ===Question areas to be tackled=== ''I have not yet worked in depth on these ones, and presumably this will be impacted by the first day of meeting, but generally, here are some areas worth discussing. First hack though'' (1) The role of technology in developement of Wikimedia projects<br> keywords: connectivity, useability, tools, speed, recording, multimedia (2) Quality and assessment<br> keywords: validity, fiability, marking, expert, collaboration (3) Educational content or e-education ?<br> keywords: teacher, online community, wikiversity, wikibooks (4) Impact of wikimedia projects on the evolution of knowledge societies<br> keywords: free licenses, open source, user-generated content, democracy, web 2.0, empowerment, political activism, copyright, fair use, privacy, censorship, terms of use (5) Presence in developing countries<br> keywords: connectivity, languages, translation, cell phones, partnership (6) Development of a sustainable business model for Wikimedia Foundation<br> keywords: sustainability, trademarks, services, print on demand, feeds, advertisement, for profit subsidiary h7khg09812zj4cjvwlsttkgkin5r268 50 49 2007-07-06T08:52:18Z Anthere 1 50 wikitext text/x-wiki Wikimedia Foundation : advisory board retreat<br> Wikimania, Taipei 1-2 August 2007 Questions, aims and outcomes :Working document for the meeting ==Preambule== Not written yet ===Overall Purpose === The retreat is fundamentally a strategic planning retreat with dedicated time to address organization-wide goals and issues.

These conclusions include what overall accomplishments (or strategic goals) the organization should achieve, and the overall methods (or strategies) to achieve the accomplishments. Goals should be designed and worded as much as possible to be specific, measurable, acceptable to those working to achieve the goals, realistic, timely, extending the capabilities of those working to achieve the goals, and rewarding to them, as well (a point particularly important in an organization largely based on volunteers). Within this phase, the strategic philosophy can be identified and updated. This includes identifying or updating the organization's mission, vision and/or values statements. Third is action planning.<br> Action planning is carefully laying out how the strategic goals will be accomplished. Action planning often includes specifying objectives, or specific results, with each strategic goal. Therefore, reaching a strategic goal typically involves accomplishing a set of objectives along the way. Action planning also includes specifying responsibilities and timelines with each objective, or who needs to do what and by when. It should also include methods to monitor and evaluate the plan, which includes knowing how the organization will know who has done what and by when. It's common to develop an annual plan (sometimes called the operational plan or management plan), which includes the strategic goals, strategies, objectives, responsibilities and timelines that should be done in the coming year. Often, organizations will develop plans for each major function, division department, etc., and call these work plans. Looking in the past and particularly looking back at Frankfurt retreat, the outcome of the meeting was in large part action planning, which was probably fine given the unique situation at that time and the nature of the people attending the retreat (largely involved in operations). The situation today is different. The organization has grown up, we have more staff and more management. Attendees will be far less involved in operations. This meeting should really be focused on determining the organization's strategic direction (values, overall achievement, overall methods). Given the diversity of the attendance, it would make sense as well to use this opportunity to work on threats and scenarios to do a little bit of contingency planning. The outcome of the meeting will be drafted in a document, which will be submitted for comments to the community. Another meeting will follow, with an attendance mostly focused on some board members, staff and key people, to review the direction and start working on action planning. However, room should be left to discuss very specific issues, which might be more operational, but relevant to discuss anyway. ===Values=== Effective organizations identify and develop a clear, concise and shared meaning of values/beliefs, priorities, and direction so that everyone understands and can contribute. Once defined, values must impact every aspect of the organization. In october 2006, a first board retreat was organized in Frankfurt. This goal of this retreat was in particular (but not limited) to review and agree upon vision, mission, strategic objectives, action plans and timeline. Following this retreat, vision and mission where redefined Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment. The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop neutral educational content under a free content license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally. In collaboration with a network of chapters, the Foundation provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of multilingual wiki projects and other endeavors which serve this mission. The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity. Values are traits or qualities that are considered worthwhile; they represent an organization’s highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. Value statements are grounded in values and define how people want to behave with each other in the organization. The value statement is about how the organization will value readers, editors, staff, internal community, board members, chapter members, advisory board members, partners and donors. Value statement should describe actions that are the living enactment of the fundamental values held by most individuals within the organization. ===Question areas to be tackled=== ''I have not yet worked in depth on these ones, and presumably this will be impacted by the first day of meeting, but generally, here are some areas worth discussing. First hack though'' (1) The role of technology in developement of Wikimedia projects<br> keywords: connectivity, useability, tools, speed, recording, multimedia (2) Quality and assessment<br> keywords: validity, fiability, marking, expert, collaboration (3) Educational content or e-education ?<br> keywords: teacher, online community, wikiversity, wikibooks (4) Impact of wikimedia projects on the evolution of knowledge societies<br> keywords: free licenses, open source, user-generated content, democracy, web 2.0, empowerment, political activism, copyright, fair use, privacy, censorship, terms of use (5) Presence in developing countries<br> keywords: connectivity, languages, translation, cell phones, partnership (6) Development of a sustainable business model for Wikimedia Foundation<br> keywords: sustainability, trademarks, services, print on demand, feeds, advertisement, for profit subsidiary kmqryheni5ryoe5y39y177gkclvvlhe 51 50 2007-07-06T08:55:21Z Anthere 1 /* Background */ 51 wikitext text/x-wiki Wikimedia Foundation : advisory board retreat<br> Wikimania, Taipei 1-2 August 2007 Questions, aims and outcomes :Working document for the meeting ==Preambule== Not written yet ===Overall Purpose === The retreat is fundamentally a strategic planning retreat with dedicated time to address organization-wide goals and issues. Another objective is for the participants to get to know each other, to find out each others skills, to share insight on free knowledge and non-profits organization, and hopefully, start building teams. ===Context Coming into the Retreat=== * Wikimedia Foundation houses international, on-line projects delivering free content, among which an encyclopedia that has the potential to be “the greatest effort in collaborative knowledge gathering the world has ever known,” in the words of Marshall Poe, Atlantic Monthly, Sept 2006. * Wikimedia Foundation is a geographically and culturally diverse organization that relies on the work of thousands of volunteers worldwide to support the key projects. * Wikimedia Foundation created an advisory board a few months ago, but opportunities for advisory board members, board members and top executives to meet and share face-to-face experience did not occur yet. Online, natural opportunities for trust and team building are few. * The organization is facing growth issues consistent with its age: * Pressure to more clearly define the organization * Staff growth and in particular arrival of top executive in WMF staff * Board turnover (elections in july 2007) * Board and staff roles (hands-on vs. policy, advocacy, etc.) * Relationships between board and advisory board * Chapter/member growth and influence * Increasing media attention and criticism * Funding challenges and opportunities * Choosing affiliations, partnerships, and vital roles for community members * Measurement and evaluation ===Retreat Goals === * Foster good relationships among board, advisory board and some staff members * Draft a value statement * Consider, through discussion and dialogue, strategic issues related to the future of Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia Foundation * Identify, through a creative effort, the changes that such strategies might necessitate * Outline strategic objectives, action plans and timeline * Engage in-depth conversation that yields shared goals for mission, governance and organizational sustainability * Focus should be put in 4 underlying themes : organization’s values, quality issues, governance, and how to have more presence in developing countries ===Expected outcomes=== The meeting is intended to produce the following outcomes * A collection of expert statements made by the participants in response to the aims of the meeting * A report made by the organizers evaluating the event and its outcomes * The establishment of a modality for future involvement, locally or globally, online or offline * A selection of podcasts from participants, shortly offering one idea, one statement, on the issue of free knowledge, free content etc… ----------- ==Retreat schedule== ''To be written'' ==Background== The organization needs to establish a strategic framework for significant success. This framework consists of: * a vision for the future, (DONE !) * a mission that defines what we are doing, (DONE !) * values that shape our actions, * strategic goals and timeline, * and action plans to guide the daily, weekly and monthly actions. ===Strategic planning=== Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is on the entire organization. The interest of establishing a strategic plan is to help to clarify the organization's plans and ensure that key leaders are all "on the same script". But even more important than the strategic plan document, is the strategic planning process itself.<br> There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc. For example, there are a variety of strategic planning models, including goals-based, issues-based or scenario model. Goals-based planning is probably the most common and starts with focus on the organization's mission (and vision and/or values), goals to work toward the mission, strategies to achieve the goals, and action planning (who will do what and by when). Issues-based strategic planning often starts by examining issues facing the organization, strategies to address those issues, and action plans. Scenario model, which may be also considered as technique consists in identifying external forces and imagining related changes which might influence the organization, then for each change, discuss three different organizational scenarios (best case, worse case and reasonable case) which might arise as a result of each change, then identify potential strategies to respond to each change. While Wikipedia was created in 2001, the Wikimedia Foundation was funded in 2003 by Jimbo and two collegues of his. Jimbo drafted a mission statement, which was naturally included in the bylaws, and over time, a vision statement developped organically. Mission and vision were redefined during Frankfurt board retreat in 2006. Since 2003, the Foundation has been growing little by little, mostly pressured to keep up with the growing Wikipedia. Daily issues usually had more priority that any attempt of strategy, due to time constraints and scarse human resources. In the past months, we have both been trying to use the goals-based model and the issue based model. During the Frankfurt retreat, mostly attended by board, staff, key people, and chapter representative (what we could define as the core of the internal community), we did an environmental scan, review the mission and vision (which were both later proposed to the community for comment and finally voted upon by the board in april 07). Amongst the logical way to look at strategic planning, one can find three logical steps First, strategic analysis. <br> This activity can include conducting some sort of scan, or review, of the organization's environment (for example, of the political, social, economic and technical environment). Participants can carefully consider various driving forces in the environment regarding the organization. Most typicall, a SWOT. Second, setting strategic direction<br> Essentially, setting conclusions about what the organization must do as a result of the major issues and opportunities facing the organization. These conclusions include what overall accomplishments (or strategic goals) the organization should achieve, and the overall methods (or strategies) to achieve the accomplishments.

This goal of this retreat was in particular (but not limited) to review and agree upon vision, mission, strategic objectives, action plans and timeline. Following this retreat, vision and mission where redefined Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment. The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop neutral educational content under a free content license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally. In collaboration with a network of chapters, the Foundation provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of multilingual wiki projects and other endeavors which serve this mission. The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity. Values are traits or qualities that are considered worthwhile; they represent an organization’s highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. Value statements are grounded in values and define how people want to behave with each other in the organization. The value statement is about how the organization will value readers, editors, staff, internal community, board members, chapter members, advisory board members, partners and donors. Value statement should describe actions that are the living enactment of the fundamental values held by most individuals within the organization. ===Question areas to be tackled=== ''I have not yet worked in depth on these ones, and presumably this will be impacted by the first day of meeting, but generally, here are some areas worth discussing.

Another objective is for the participants to get to know each other, to find out each others skills, to share insight on free knowledge and non-profits organization, and hopefully, start building teams. ===Context Coming into the Retreat=== * Wikimedia Foundation houses international, on-line projects delivering free content, among which an encyclopedia that has the potential to be “the greatest effort in collaborative knowledge gathering the world has ever known,” in the words of Marshall Poe, Atlantic Monthly, Sept 2006. * Wikimedia Foundation is a geographically and culturally diverse organization that relies on the work of thousands of volunteers worldwide to support the key projects. * Wikimedia Foundation created an advisory board a few months ago, but opportunities for advisory board members, board members and top executives to meet and share face-to-face experience did not occur yet. Online, natural opportunities for trust and team building are few. * The organization is facing growth issues consistent with its age: * Pressure to more clearly define the organization * Staff growth and in particular arrival of top executive in WMF staff * Board turnover (elections in july 2007) * Board and staff roles (hands-on vs. policy, advocacy, etc.) * Relationships between board and advisory board * Chapter/member growth and influence * Increasing media attention and criticism * Funding challenges and opportunities * Choosing affiliations, partnerships, and vital roles for community members * Measurement and evaluation ===Retreat Goals === * Foster good relationships among board, advisory board and some staff members * Draft a value statement * Consider, through discussion and dialogue, strategic issues related to the future of Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia Foundation * Identify, through a creative effort, the changes that such strategies might necessitate * Outline strategic objectives, action plans and timeline * Engage in-depth conversation that yields shared goals for mission, governance and organizational sustainability * Focus should be put in 4 underlying themes : organization’s values, quality issues, governance, and how to have more presence in developing countries ===Expected outcomes=== The meeting is intended to produce the following outcomes * A collection of expert statements made by the participants in response to the aims of the meeting * A report made by the organizers evaluating the event and its outcomes * The establishment of a modality for future involvement, locally or globally, online or offline * A selection of podcasts from participants, shortly offering one idea, one statement, on the issue of free knowledge, free content etc… ----------- ==Retreat schedule== ''To be written'' We have two days, with two lunches and one dinner :-) ==Background== The organization needs to establish a strategic framework for significant success. This framework consists of: * a vision for the future, (DONE !) * a mission that defines what we are doing, (DONE !) * values that shape our actions, * strategic goals and timeline, (partly done in october 2006) * and action plans to guide the daily, weekly and monthly actions. ===Strategic planning=== Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is on the entire organization. The interest of establishing a strategic plan is to help to clarify the organization's plans and ensure that key leaders are all "on the same script". There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc. For example, there are a variety of strategic planning models, including goals-based, issues-based or scenario model. Goals-based planning is probably the most common and starts with focus on the organization's mission (and vision and/or values), goals to work toward the mission, strategies to achieve the goals, and action planning (who will do what and by when). Issues-based strategic planning often starts by examining issues facing the organization, strategies to address those issues, and action plans. Scenario model, which may be also considered as technique consists in identifying external forces and imagining related changes which might influence the organization, then for each change, discuss three different organizational scenarios (best case, worse case and reasonable case) which might arise as a result of each change, then identify potential strategies to respond to each change. The Foundation already held a board retreat in Frankfurt, in october 2006, mostly attended by board, staff, key people, and chapter representative (what we could define as the core of the internal community (''must add the links to outcome'') While Wikipedia was created in 2001, the Wikimedia Foundation was funded only in 2003, by Jimbo and two collegues of his. Jimbo drafted a mission statement, which was naturally included in the bylaws, and over time, a vision statement developped organically. Mission and vision were redefined during Frankfurt board retreat in 2006. Since 2003, the Foundation has been growing little by little, mostly pressured to keep up with the growing Wikipedia. Daily issues usually had more priority that any attempt of strategy, due to time constraints and scarse human resources. In the past months, we have both been trying to use the goals-based model and the issue based model. During the Frankfurt retreat, we did an environmental scan, review the mission and vision (which were both later proposed to the community for comment and finally voted upon by the board in april 07). Amongst the logical way to look at strategic planning, one can find three logical steps First, strategic analysis. <br> This activity can include conducting some sort of scan, or review, of the organization's environment (for example, of the political, social, economic and technical environment). Participants can carefully consider various driving forces in the environment regarding the organization. Most typicall, a SWOT. Second, setting strategic direction<br> Essentially, setting conclusions about what the organization must do as a result of the major issues and opportunities facing the organization. These conclusions include what overall accomplishments (or strategic goals) the organization should achieve, and the overall methods (or strategies) to achieve the accomplishments. Goals should be designed and worded as much as possible to be specific, measurable, acceptable to those working to achieve the goals, realistic, timely, extending the capabilities of those working to achieve the goals, and rewarding to them, as well (a point particularly important in an organization largely based on volunteers). Within this phase, the strategic philosophy can be identified and updated. This includes identifying or updating the organization's mission, vision and/or values statements. Third is action planning.<br> Action planning is carefully laying out how the strategic goals will be accomplished. Action planning often includes specifying objectives, or specific results, with each strategic goal. Therefore, reaching a strategic goal typically involves accomplishing a set of objectives along the way. Action planning also includes specifying responsibilities and timelines with each objective, or who needs to do what and by when. It should also include methods to monitor and evaluate the plan, which includes knowing how the organization will know who has done what and by when. It's common to develop an annual plan (sometimes called the operational plan or management plan), which includes the strategic goals, strategies, objectives, responsibilities and timelines that should be done in the coming year. Often, organizations will develop plans for each major function, division department, etc., and call these work plans. Looking in the past and particularly looking back at Frankfurt retreat, the outcome of the meeting was in large part action planning, which was probably fine given the unique situation at that time and the nature of the people attending the retreat (largely involved in operations). The situation today is different. The organization has grown up, we have more staff and more management. Attendees will be far less involved in operations. This meeting should really be focused on determining the organization's strategic direction (values, overall achievement, overall methods). Given the diversity of the attendance, it would make sense as well to use this opportunity to work on threats and scenarios to do a little bit of contingency planning. The outcome of the meeting will be drafted in a document, which will be submitted for comments to the community. Another meeting will follow, with an attendance mostly focused on some board members, staff and key people, to review the direction and start working on action planning. However, room should be left to discuss very specific issues, which might be more operational, but relevant to discuss anyway. ===Values=== Effective organizations identify and develop a clear, concise and shared meaning of values/beliefs, priorities, and direction so that everyone understands and can contribute.

Another objective is for the participants to get to know each other, to find out each others skills, to share insight on free knowledge and non-profits organization, and hopefully, start building teams. ===Context Coming into the Retreat=== * Wikimedia Foundation houses international, on-line projects delivering free content, among which an encyclopedia that has the potential to be “the greatest effort in collaborative knowledge gathering the world has ever known,” in the words of Marshall Poe, Atlantic Monthly, Sept 2006. * Wikimedia Foundation is a geographically and culturally diverse organization that relies on the work of thousands of volunteers worldwide to support the key projects. * Wikimedia Foundation created an advisory board a few months ago, but opportunities for advisory board members, board members and top executives to meet and share face-to-face experience did not occur yet. Online, natural opportunities for trust and team building are few. * The organization is facing growth issues consistent with its age: * Pressure to more clearly define the organization * Staff growth and in particular arrival of top executive in WMF staff * Board turnover (elections in july 2007) * Board and staff roles (hands-on vs. policy, advocacy, etc.) * Relationships between board and advisory board * Chapter/member growth and influence * Increasing media attention and criticism * Funding challenges and opportunities * Choosing affiliations, partnerships, and vital roles for community members * Measurement and evaluation ===Retreat Goals === * Foster good relationships among board, advisory board and some staff members * Draft a value statement * Consider, through discussion and dialogue, strategic issues related to the future of Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia Foundation * Identify, through a creative effort, the changes that such strategies might necessitate * Outline strategic objectives, action plans and timeline * Engage in-depth conversation that yields shared goals for mission, governance and organizational sustainability * Focus should be put in 4 underlying themes : organization’s values, quality issues, governance, and how to have more presence in developing countries ===Expected outcomes=== The meeting is intended to produce the following outcomes * A collection of expert statements made by the participants in response to the aims of the meeting * A report made by the organizers evaluating the event and its outcomes * The establishment of a modality for future involvement, locally or globally, online or offline * A selection of podcasts from participants, shortly offering one idea, one statement, on the issue of free knowledge, free content etc… ----------- ==Retreat schedule== ''To be written'' We have two days, with two lunches and one dinner :-) ==Background== The organization needs to establish a strategic framework for significant success. This framework consists of: * a vision for the future, (DONE !) * a mission that defines what we are doing, (DONE !) * values that shape our actions, * strategic goals and timeline, (partly done in october 2006) * and action plans to guide the daily, weekly and monthly actions. ===Strategic planning=== Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is on the entire organization. The interest of establishing a strategic plan is to help to clarify the organization's plans and ensure that key leaders are all "on the same script". There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc. For example, there are a variety of strategic planning models, including goals-based, issues-based or scenario model. Goals-based planning is probably the most common and starts with focus on the organization's mission (and vision and/or values), goals to work toward the mission, strategies to achieve the goals, and action planning (who will do what and by when). Issues-based strategic planning often starts by examining issues facing the organization, strategies to address those issues, and action plans. Scenario model, which may be also considered as technique consists in identifying external forces and imagining related changes which might influence the organization, then for each change, discuss three different organizational scenarios (best case, worse case and reasonable case) which might arise as a result of each change, then identify potential strategies to respond to each change. The Foundation already held a board retreat in Frankfurt, in october 2006, mostly attended by board, staff, key people, and chapter representative (what we could define as the core of the internal community (''must add the links to outcome'') While Wikipedia was created in 2001, the Wikimedia Foundation was funded only in 2003, by Jimbo and two collegues of his. Jimbo drafted a mission statement, which was naturally included in the bylaws, and over time, a vision statement developped organically. Mission and vision were redefined during Frankfurt board retreat in 2006. Since 2003, the Foundation has been growing little by little, mostly pressured to keep up with the growing Wikipedia. Daily issues usually had more priority that any attempt of strategy, due to time constraints and scarse human resources. In the past months, we have both been trying to use the goals-based model and the issue based model. During the Frankfurt retreat, we did an environmental scan, review the mission and vision (which were both later proposed to the community for comment and finally voted upon by the board in april 07). Amongst the logical way to look at strategic planning, one can find three logical steps First, '''strategic analysis'''<br> This activity can include conducting some sort of scan, or review, of the organization's environment (for example, of the political, social, economic and technical environment). Participants can carefully consider various driving forces in the environment regarding the organization. Most typicall, a SWOT. Second, setting '''strategic direction'''<br> Essentially, setting conclusions about what the organization must do as a result of the major issues and opportunities facing the organization. These conclusions include what overall accomplishments (or strategic goals) the organization should achieve, and the overall methods (or strategies) to achieve the accomplishments. Goals should be designed and worded as much as possible to be specific, measurable, acceptable to those working to achieve the goals, realistic, timely, extending the capabilities of those working to achieve the goals, and rewarding to them, as well (a point particularly important in an organization largely based on volunteers). Within this phase, the strategic philosophy can be identified and updated. This includes identifying or updating the organization's mission, vision and/or values statements. Third is '''action planning'''<br> Action planning is carefully laying out how the strategic goals will be accomplished. Action planning often includes specifying objectives, or specific results, with each strategic goal. Therefore, reaching a strategic goal typically involves accomplishing a set of objectives along the way. Action planning also includes specifying responsibilities and timelines with each objective, or who needs to do what and by when. It should also include methods to monitor and evaluate the plan, which includes knowing how the organization will know who has done what and by when. It's common to develop an annual plan (sometimes called the operational plan or management plan), which includes the strategic goals, strategies, objectives, responsibilities and timelines that should be done in the coming year. Aside from the interest for the board and staff to have such a document at hand, the wikimedia community is frequently complaining of lack of transparency in the activity of the Foundation. Such a document might help relieve some fears. '''today'''<br> Looking in the past and particularly looking back at Frankfurt retreat, the outcome of the meeting was in large part action planning, which was probably fine given the unique situation at that time and the nature of the people attending the retreat (largely involved in operations). The situation today is different. The organization has grown up, we have more staff and more management. Attendees will be far less involved in operations. This meeting should really be focused on determining the organization's strategic direction (values, overall achievement, overall methods), for 3-5 years. Given the diversity of the attendance, it would make sense as well to use this opportunity to work on threats and scenarios to do a little bit of contingency planning. The outcome of the meeting will be drafted in a document, which will be submitted for comments to the community. Another meeting will follow, with an attendance mostly focused on some board members, staff and key people, to review the direction and start working on action planning. The retreat could also include some action planning, but this is not a priority. ===Mission, Vision and Values=== Effective organizations identify and develop a clear, concise and shared meaning of values/beliefs, priorities, and direction so that everyone understands and can contribute. Once defined, values must impact every aspect of the organization. One of the goals of Frankfurt retreat was in particular (but not limited) to review and agree upon vision, mission, strategic objectives, action plans and timeline. Following this retreat, vision and mission where redefined '''Vision'''<br> :''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'' '''Mission'''<br> :''The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop neutral educational content under a free content license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.'' :''In collaboration with a network of chapters, the Foundation provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of multilingual wiki projects and other endeavors which serve this mission. The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.'' Values are traits or qualities that are considered worthwhile; they represent an organization’s highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. Value statements are grounded in values and define how people want to behave with each other in the organization. The value statement is about how the organization will value readers, editors, staff, internal community, board members, chapter members, advisory board members, partners and donors. Value statement should describe actions that are the living enactment of the fundamental values held by most individuals within the organization. ===Question areas to be tackled=== ''I have not yet worked in depth on these ones, and presumably this will be impacted by the first day of meeting, but generally, here are some areas worth discussing.

Another objective is for the participants to get to know each other, to find out each others skills, to share insight on free knowledge and non-profits organization, and hopefully, start building teams. ===Context Coming into the Retreat=== * Wikimedia Foundation houses international, on-line projects delivering free content, among which an encyclopedia that has the potential to be “the greatest effort in collaborative knowledge gathering the world has ever known,” in the words of Marshall Poe, Atlantic Monthly, Sept 2006. * Wikimedia Foundation is a geographically and culturally diverse organization that relies on the work of thousands of volunteers worldwide to support the key projects. * Wikimedia Foundation created an advisory board a few months ago, but opportunities for advisory board members, board members and top executives to meet and share face-to-face experience did not occur yet. Online, natural opportunities for trust and team building are few. * The organization is facing growth issues consistent with its age: * Pressure to more clearly define the organization * Staff growth and in particular arrival of top executive in WMF staff * Board turnover (elections in july 2007) * Board and staff roles (hands-on vs. policy, advocacy, etc.) * Relationships between board and advisory board * Chapter/member growth and influence * Increasing media attention and criticism * Funding challenges and opportunities * Choosing affiliations, partnerships, and vital roles for community members * Measurement and evaluation ===Retreat Goals === * Foster good relationships among board, advisory board and some staff members * Draft a value statement * Consider, through discussion and dialogue, strategic issues related to the future of Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia Foundation * Identify, through a creative effort, the changes that such strategies might necessitate * Outline strategic objectives, action plans and timeline * Engage in-depth conversation that yields shared goals for mission, governance and organizational sustainability * Focus should be put in 4 underlying themes : organization’s values, quality issues, governance, and how to have more presence in developing countries ===Expected outcomes=== The meeting is intended to produce the following outcomes * A collection of expert statements made by the participants in response to the aims of the meeting * A report made by the organizers evaluating the event and its outcomes * The establishment of a modality for future involvement, locally or globally, online or offline * A selection of podcasts from participants, shortly offering one idea, one statement, on the issue of free knowledge, free content etc… ----------- ==Retreat schedule== ''To be written'' We have two days, with two lunches and one dinner :-) ==Background== The organization needs to establish a strategic framework for significant success. This framework consists of: * a vision for the future, (DONE !) * a mission that defines what we are doing, (DONE !) * values that shape our actions, * strategic goals and timeline, (partly done in october 2006) * and action plans to guide the daily, weekly and monthly actions. ===Strategic planning=== Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is on the entire organization. The interest of establishing a strategic plan is to help to clarify the organization's plans and ensure that key leaders are all "on the same script". There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc. For example, there are a variety of strategic planning models, including goals-based, issues-based or scenario model. Goals-based planning is probably the most common and starts with focus on the organization's mission (and vision and/or values), goals to work toward the mission, strategies to achieve the goals, and action planning (who will do what and by when). Issues-based strategic planning often starts by examining issues facing the organization, strategies to address those issues, and action plans. Scenario model, which may be also considered as technique consists in identifying external forces and imagining related changes which might influence the organization, then for each change, discuss three different organizational scenarios (best case, worse case and reasonable case) which might arise as a result of each change, then identify potential strategies to respond to each change. The Foundation already held a board retreat in Frankfurt, in october 2006, mostly attended by board, staff, key people, and chapter representative (what we could define as the core of the internal community (''see [[m:Board retreat|metawiki for more]]'') While Wikipedia was created in 2001, the Wikimedia Foundation was funded only in 2003, by Jimbo and two collegues of his. Jimbo drafted a mission statement, which was naturally included in the bylaws, and over time, a vision statement developped organically. Mission and vision were redefined during Frankfurt board retreat in 2006. Since 2003, the Foundation has been growing little by little, mostly pressured to keep up with the growing Wikipedia. Daily issues usually had more priority that any attempt of strategy, due to time constraints and scarse human resources. In the past months, we have both been trying to use the goals-based model and the issue based model. During the Frankfurt retreat, we did an environmental scan, review the mission and vision (which were both later proposed to the community for comment and finally voted upon by the board in april 07). Amongst the logical way to look at strategic planning, one can find three logical steps First, '''strategic analysis'''<br> This activity can include conducting some sort of scan, or review, of the organization's environment (for example, of the political, social, economic and technical environment). Participants can carefully consider various driving forces in the environment regarding the organization. Most typicall, a SWOT. Second, setting '''strategic direction'''<br> Essentially, setting conclusions about what the organization must do as a result of the major issues and opportunities facing the organization. These conclusions include what overall accomplishments (or strategic goals) the organization should achieve, and the overall methods (or strategies) to achieve the accomplishments. Goals should be designed and worded as much as possible to be specific, measurable, acceptable to those working to achieve the goals, realistic, timely, extending the capabilities of those working to achieve the goals, and rewarding to them, as well (a point particularly important in an organization largely based on volunteers). Within this phase, the strategic philosophy can be identified and updated. This includes identifying or updating the organization's mission, vision and/or values statements. Third is '''action planning'''<br> Action planning is carefully laying out how the strategic goals will be accomplished. Action planning often includes specifying objectives, or specific results, with each strategic goal. Therefore, reaching a strategic goal typically involves accomplishing a set of objectives along the way. Action planning also includes specifying responsibilities and timelines with each objective, or who needs to do what and by when. It should also include methods to monitor and evaluate the plan, which includes knowing how the organization will know who has done what and by when. It's common to develop an annual plan (sometimes called the operational plan or management plan), which includes the strategic goals, strategies, objectives, responsibilities and timelines that should be done in the coming year. Aside from the interest for the board and staff to have such a document at hand, the wikimedia community is frequently complaining of lack of transparency in the activity of the Foundation. Such a document might help relieve some fears. '''today'''<br> Looking in the past and particularly looking back at Frankfurt retreat, the outcome of the meeting was in large part action planning, which was probably fine given the unique situation at that time and the nature of the people attending the retreat (largely involved in operations). The situation today is different. The organization has grown up, we have more staff and more management. Attendees will be far less involved in operations. This meeting should really be focused on determining the organization's strategic direction (values, overall achievement, overall methods), for 3-5 years. Given the diversity of the attendance, it would make sense as well to use this opportunity to work on threats and scenarios to do a little bit of contingency planning. The outcome of the meeting will be drafted in a document, which will be submitted for comments to the community. Another meeting will follow, with an attendance mostly focused on some board members, staff and key people, to review the direction and start working on action planning. The retreat could also include some action planning, but this is not a priority. ===Mission, Vision and Values=== Effective organizations identify and develop a clear, concise and shared meaning of values/beliefs, priorities, and direction so that everyone understands and can contribute. Once defined, values must impact every aspect of the organization. One of the goals of Frankfurt retreat was in particular (but not limited) to review and agree upon vision, mission, strategic objectives, action plans and timeline. Following this retreat, vision and mission where redefined '''Vision'''<br> :''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'' '''Mission'''<br> :''The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop neutral educational content under a free content license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.'' :''In collaboration with a network of chapters, the Foundation provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of multilingual wiki projects and other endeavors which serve this mission. The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.'' Values are traits or qualities that are considered worthwhile; they represent an organization’s highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. Value statements are grounded in values and define how people want to behave with each other in the organization. The value statement is about how the organization will value readers, editors, staff, internal community, board members, chapter members, advisory board members, partners and donors. Value statement should describe actions that are the living enactment of the fundamental values held by most individuals within the organization. ===Question areas to be tackled=== ''I have not yet worked in depth on these ones, and presumably this will be impacted by the first day of meeting, but generally, here are some areas worth discussing.

At the meeting, attendees developed their thinking about how best to support three of the Foundation's strategic goals for 08-09. This document is intended to provide a record of that discussion. It will be further elaborated over time: #It will be released to the Board, Advisory Board and ED, so that they can further flesh out their ideas and provide additional information. #It will be released to the Wikimedia community. The intent is that people can then use this document to stimulate their own thinking; to start discussions; and to help them make decisions about where they want to put their own energy. They will also be free to keep the document itself alive, by further elaborating upon and refining it. ==BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT== The combined group of Advisory Board members (5 out of 20), the entire Board of Trustees, and the Foundation’s Executive Director met in Alexandria, Egypt on July 15th just prior to Wikimania 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a briefing to all invitees as to each group’s strategic goals and organizational development progress over the past year. An overview of the Foundation’s organizational development process of was given, as was an overview of the Board of Trustees restructuring. The Advisory Board was then invited to discuss and help set direction for future development. The bulk of the agenda was spent developing attendees' collective thinking about three key Wikimedia Foundation goals. The output of that conversation is laid out below. ==WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION 2008-09 GOALS== #Achieve organizational maturity #:(for example, fill skills gaps, institute quarterly financial reporting, generate regular statistics, etc.) #Achieve financial sustainability #:(for example, reach or exceed revenue targets, live within the budget, etc.) #Encourage and broaden participation #:(for example,stage Wikipedia Academies, teach underrepresented groups -such as older people or women- to edit, make MediaWiki easier to use, encourage friendliness in the projects, etc.) #Increase quality and credibility #:(for example, teach academics and other knowledgeable people to edit, encourage content owners to donate good material under a free license, encourage quality-improving projects) #Disseminate Wikimedia content in off-wiki forms #:(for example, partner with other organizations to publish Wikimedia DVDs, books, USB sticks, etc.) ==INCREASE QUALITY AND CREDIBILITY== The group was asked to discuss how the Wikimedia Foundation could best approach the goal of increasing both quality and credibility. Aspects of quality: * Readability and understandability (good writing) * Accuracy and correctness, reliability * Depth, thoroughness * Relevance, appropriateness, suitability of subject matter * Absence of typos and other small mistakes (broken links, etc.) * Scope, range, breadth * Balance and fairness * Usability, user-friendliness * Currency, freshness, up-to-date * Authority (as measured, for example, by citations/attributions) * Consistency of style, layout, etc. * Meeting user expectations in general, throughout the user experience Proposed approaches to nurturing quality (technical) Improve the usability of the interface for both readers and editors Publicly and visibly label quality (for example, “rate this article” widget, FlaggedRevs, etc.) Launch a large, ambitious project to fundamentally overhaul the interface to make it more usable (i.e., WYSIWYG or similar). This would be an enormous undertaking and would be expensive. Simplify and improve discussion sections; make it easier for editors to talk constructively about articles. Enable automated 'readability' scoring, as in word-processing programs, and publish the results visibly on the article. Or, use readability scores to populate 'to do' lists for editors who want to edit for readability, aiming to take difficult articles and make them more easily understandable. Create 'suggestion' widgets: “If you enjoyed reading about <the history of solidarity> you might also be interested in articles about <Poland>, <Lech Walesa> and <the fall of communism>.” Each project / language version should be asked to provide feedback on its technical requirements in support of quality. There should be a systematic way to ensure that feedback is collected and evaluated. Proposed approaches to nurturing quality (social): Create an “adopt-an-expert” program designed to match up Wikimedians with non-wiki-editing experts in various fields. The idea is that there are many people with expertise in particular areas, who for whatever reason do not intend to become wiki editors. (For example, they might be too busy, or unwilling to expose themselves to the collaborative process, or too tech-averse.) Those people could be paired up with willing editors, who would solicit their feedback and implement their recommended changes to articles. Create templates and FAQs designed to offer encouragement, guidelines and support for people who own quality content, and who may want to contribute it under a free license to the Wikimedia projects. Offer an understandable clear-language explanation of free licenses and their implications. Match up owners of content who are willing to free it up, with Wikimedians who are willing to help process it (for example, by uploading it, labelling it, etc.). Develop a “volunteer match”-style database which captures volunteer skill sets and areas of interest, and which could pave the way to connecting volunteers with tasks that suit their interests and abilities. For example, volunteers who like taking photos could be connected with Commons photo solicitation events; volunteers who like to edit for readability could be connected with articles that are considered high quality but abstruse; volunteers who like to speak in public could be asked to participate in outreach events. Work more closely with schools. For example, ask an art school professor to make 'adding illustrations to Wikipedia' a class assignment; ask language schools for help with language issues. Encourage researchers to conduct studies into the quality level of the Wikimedia projects. Make it easy for them by providing more timely dumps, etc. Focus PR efforts on emphasizing the high quality of the projects, and highlight studies that demonstrate it. Collect and republish positive quotes from credible experts. Create contests designed to focus volunteer energy on improving quality in particular areas. Assess the impact of FlaggedRevs thus far. Capture how it is being used. Encourage useful adoptions. Make it easier to add sources to Wikipedia. Encourage the adding of sources. ==ENCOURAGE AND BROADEN PARTICIPATION== The group was asked to discuss how the Wikimedia Foundation could best encourage broader participation in the projects. Later this year, the Foundation expects to identify four target groups for increased participation; that will happen after the results of the UNU-Merit general survey are released in the fall. Therefore, for the purposes of this discussion, four provisional “straw men” target groups were identified: people aged 55+, older women, Arabic speakers, and subject-matter experts. Many of these strategies could be adapted for general use. 55 + Community: Create “lifelong learning events” to tap into and encourage sharing of knowledge. Develop specialized press and general articles. Today's older people are less tech savvy and less used to interacting online. Usability improvements will be particularly useful for this demographic group. Provide mentoring programs (for example, “adopt-an-older-person”). For older people particularly, there is no substitute for face-to-face interaction and personal relationships. Participate in seminars focusing on 3rd age. Go to where older people are, and recruit them there. Contact retiree clubs (for example Lions), and work with organizations for retired people (AARP, newsletter article, etc.) Create demographically-targeted tutorials that are very market specific. Utilize older people as presenters, trainers, recruiters. Use training examples that are familiar to older people. Utilize project based recruitment. Document experiences both successful and unsuccessful. The chapters do a lot of outreach: ask them to postmortem their experiences and share them with the Foundation and each other. Utilize surveys. Don't make assumptions about older people's motivations, interests and aptitudes: ask them. Offer train-the-trainer programs to teach the target audience to teach others. This will scale. Focus on older people who already have computers and are connected to, and active on, the internet. Focus on the subset of internet-active older people who will be receptive to becoming editors, rather than those who will not. Older Women: (Most of the ideas for the 55+ community are also useful for the reaching the older women target group as well. Additionally though, there are these.) Have Jimmy appear on Oprah's TV show, or Ellen Degeneres. Older women are generally underrepresented where Wikimedia tends to get media coverage (for example, Slashdot); try to counteract that by going where older women are. Start a “Teach your Mother to Edit” day, encouraging Wikimedia's young geeky participants to actively try to recruit older women they know personally. Focus on groups most able to contribute (for example women with grown children). Stress and reinforce the social values of the Wikimedia community relative to many other online communities - namely friendliness, welcoming nature, openness, civility, etc. Arabic Speakers: Utilize press outreach. Particularly post-Wikimania, there should be media energy that Wikimedia can capitalize on. Seed or nurture the creation of a chapter or chapters in the Arab world. Support chapter creation by offering planning and kick-off resources, for example, legal research, administrative support, etc. Organize a mini-conference focused on a language (for example Arabic-language Wikimedia conference). Utilize the site notice to put out a call for participants in particular areas (for example, Arabic-language speakers). Informally survey people here at Wikimania 2008 about their attitudes and motivations, why they participate. Partner with Arabic nonprofits who share our goals but who are more expert in location-specific or culture-specific issues. Encourage and fund “community infrastructure documents” - FAQs, templates, the documentation and sharing of knowledge. Draw on the expatriate community for help. People may be particularly inclined to support the culture they came from. Managing cultural controversies (means what exactly?) Distinguish between secular versus religious educational traditions. Subject Matter Experts: Please note that one group group questioned why this category might be considered a priority. Given that the projects are deeply rooted in a credentials-neutral ethos, specific outreach to academics or other subject-matter experts is seen by some as counter to Wikimedia values. Contact other conferences and propose participation. Provide changes in software to favor experts, or to include or acknowledge them in particular ways (for example, “this article is endorsed by X, an expert in the field”). Start by ?? on non-wp projects (for example Wi commons) Develop a survey to find out how they may want to contribute (critique, review, use as a teaching tool, etc.) Establish “campus ambassadors”. Share experiences from other universities/experts, etc. Connect to thought leaders. “Adopt-an-expert” program. As outlined above under quality. Work more closely with schools (for example,class assignments, etc.). As outlined above under quality. ==DISSEMINATE WIKIMEDIA CONTENT IN OFF-WIKI FORMS== The group was asked to discuss how the Wikimedia Foundation could best encourage the dissemination of Wikimedia content into off-wiki forms. Several areas were discussed, including mobile. Mobile (Pros/Opportunities) Growth of handsets greater than PCs (billion + per year). Unlike computers, all handsets have connectivity. Operators could move quickly due to their scale. Mobile operators tend to be younger demographically. Mobile operators also tend to have financial resources. Need killer app?? People will probably never use mobile phones to edit the projects; it is too difficult. However, most phones have camera capability. It would be interesting to create an easy-phone-photo-upload capability, so that people could easily send camera-phone pictures to Commons. Wikimedia has a good mobile interface: it is just not well-known. Rapidly changing (?? technology, sector, etc.) There is potential for specialized input for easy editing. It is possible we could create a simplified interface for easy, simple editing. Mobile (Cons/Threats) There is limited editing interface capability. There is also limited multimedia real estate. There is a lack of recognition that it is different from large-screen internet, and needs a simpler, easier-to-use interface designed for a small screen. There are no open standards. The cost of data connectivity may self-select the wealthy. Ad-supported mirrors may take market share. ==NEXT STEPS== This document is intended to be a useful tool for the Wikimedia Foundation, the chapters, and individual volunteers. The Wikimedia Foundation is grateful to its advisory board for its support in helping develop our thinking. #Angela will release the document to the advisory board (on wiki), and ask people to further elaborate and refine their thinking. It would be great if people added citations, facts, data, and support of various kinds for their proposals. They should be bold, and directly edit the article page itself. There is no need to sign edits: it is more important to end up with a readable, understandable document, than with a detailed and accurate record of who said what. Advisory board members who did not attend the meeting should be particularly encouraged to contribute at this point. #The document should then be moved to meta, and we should invite the chapters and individual volunteers into the conversation (same terms as above). People should be encouraged to turn any of these ideas into reality, and use whatever from this is useful to them. c1zjwu7p588e4i3m33mo7v93vehx7x9 354 352 2008-08-25T21:35:47Z Stu 159 /* BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT */ correcting to say "most of the board" attended as Frieda was absent 354 wikitext text/x-wiki <center><big>'''WIKIMEDIA ADVISORY BOARD MEETING OUTCOMES'''</big></center> <center><big>'''ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT'''</big></center> <center><big>'''July 15th 2008'''</big></center> ==PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT== This document was written by Christine Aliouche, who facilitated a meeting among the Board of Trustees, the Advisory Board, and the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, on July 15, 2008, in Alexandria, Egypt.

I am curious about how/where to pose questions or ideas for advice (and find that some advisory board members are too :) Thoughts : 1. Does this need to be a separate wiki? Could it be usefully made part of meta? Most of the advisory-style discussions are things that all meta-editors would be interested in, might have contributions to, and might at least link out to previous discussions about -- all already on the same site. Since one of the advantages of single-wiki is casual visibility through RC and inbound links; and ease of linking to a topic or thought (planning to write a new page and discovering something already there by someone with a similar but intriguingly different idea a year previous is one of the best ways to get real inspiration), I see a lot of reasons to make it easier to create beautiful separate portals on Meta. (But what are the other reasons to split into a new wiki?) 2. How about categories of users-and-advisors on other projects? Surely we can bubble up visibility of who advisors are for the half who edit. jg4kgf3770e6lkvs4ngjesiwnf7im3c 2 160 393 2009-07-13T20:15:06Z Adambro 231 [[meta:User:Adambro]] 393 wikitext text/x-wiki [[meta:User:Adambro]] ez9ycc6s9gfke3epzjfo61o6h8hw6vd 10 161 394 2009-07-17T21:20:47Z Gatthen34 233 Created page with '<!-- Please do not remove or change this AfD message until the issue is settled --> {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifeq:{{{1|a}}}|{{{1|b}}}||{{<includeonly>subst:</includeon...' 394 wikitext text/x-wiki <!-- Please do not remove or change this AfD message until the issue is settled --> {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifeq:{{{1|a}}}|{{{1|b}}}||{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifexist:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>PAGENAME}}|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>lessthan}}!-- The nomination page for this article already existed when this tag was added.

These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Single User Login finalisation announcement|the announcement]] for more information. Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cgriffin.

These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Single User Login finalisation announcement|the announcement]] for more information. Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Solumeiras.
