High-Level Summary

edit

We hit the ground running this year with a heavy focus on organisational change, including recruiting for several new or empty positions and restructuring our administrative, HR and finance operations to reflect the growing needs of our organisation. We have also begun work to improve our membership management and secure our chapter’s financial future by developing new strategies on these topics and recruiting a new team member focused on these areas.

Operationally, we are working with an external consultant on an IT Strategy that includes a risk assessment and a transfer of knowledge. It also includes a concept called a Tech Boost, which was created by Programme Innovation to enhance projects via developer support. We created a Conflict of Interest document that outlines a code of conduct for Wikimedians and Wikipedians who wear multiple hats. We have also improved our internal meetings and communication to strengthen collaboration within the team.

Programmatically, we are celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Swiss Federal Constitution as an occasion to highlight our work to advance free knowledge and the importance of Wikipedia and other open knowledge projects for democracy. This includes several GLAM projects and events, as well as other general outreach activities. The new team members are settling in and working hard to develop strategies and adapt existing annual plans. Through Programme Community, we have led and supported many activities to engage volunteers and recruit new ones – work that will continue in the second half of the year.
