2006 a 2008/2006 to 2008

Mayo de 2011

Como ya se ha indicado en otros lugares, recientemente se retomó el proceso de creación de Wikimedia Colombia. Por el momento, el contacto entre los interesados en participar del proyecto se llevará a cabo principalmente en esta página de discusión. Adicionalmente, se están llevando a cabo reuniones en el canal IRC #wikimedia-co de Freenode (acceso directo: clic aquí) todos los jueves a partir de las 8 p.m. (hora colombiana).

Evidentemente, el éxito de la iniciativa depende del grupo de trabajo que logre formarse, así que quienes estén interesados en participar en el proceso (en mayor o menor medida) dejen un mensaje.

Saludos, Racso ^¿¿¿??? 05:39, 12 May 2011 (UTC) Nota: se añadirá más información en las próximas horas.

Hola; ¿Mi registro de es/en-Wikipedia no vale en wikimedia? ¿tengo que abrir otra cuenta? Thanks... Jyon

A mi me sirvio, y estoy muy interesado en participar de tan noble y loable proyecto, que toca que hacer? para cualquier mensaje en especifico porfavor usar mi discusión en ES. danke --Sahaquiel9102 16:59, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

@Jyon, el login debería servir. Intenta conectarte usándolo. Si no te funciona, indícanoslo de nuevo a ver si podemos ayudarte. --Racso ^¿¿¿??? 18:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Le comentaba a Sahaquiel por IRC que lo primordial por ahora es conseguir gente interesada en hacer parte del capítulo. Eso implica, entre otras cosas, el interés de reunirse físicamente (de vez en cuando, claro), de inscribirse en el capítulo (en vivo, asociándose cuando esté creado) e incluso, mas no necesariamente, de participar en actividades que se lleven a cabo (físicas o virtuales). En resumen: por el momento no hay que hacer mayor cosa para participar de la iniciativa; basta con estar interesado. De cualquier modo, queremos intentar organizar algunas cosas para consolidar el grupo de trabajo e intentar contactar más interesados (encuentros, por ejemplo, o actividades que puedan ocurrirse en el camino), pero eso lo comentaremos un poquito más adelante. ¡Saludos! --Racso ^¿¿¿??? 18:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Hola, yo creo estar interesado pero me gustaría saber propiamente qué es un "Capítulo". He oído el término pero nunca he visto que digan específicamente qué es. Yo vivo en Medellín. Nicoguaro 21:18, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Nicoguaro, te invito a que leas la pregunta 2 de esta página que hemos preparado. Así comprobaremos si la respuesta que se da allí es clara o no. Si sigues teniendo dudas o si prefieres que te explique personalmente, por favor indícalo. ¡Saludos! --Racso ^¿¿¿??? 04:34, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Yo quiero hacer parte activa de la creación del capítulo, cuenten conmigo para lo que sea. Pero este jueves me queda realmente complicado reunirme, si las reuniones son todos los jueves el próximo sí podré estar. Cualquier cosa que necesiten escríbanme en mi página de discusión en español. Hago parte de Wikipedia hace más de tres años y desde que se ideó planificar el capitulo para Colombia lo he seguido pero por razones ajenas a mi voluntad no he podido reunirme, así que espero su respuesta.

Sí aplazan la reunión para el martes o después podré sin problema, de lo contrario, sí quedan los jueves como está planeado, el próximo, como dije antes, pueden contar con mi presencia.--Luisfege 02:55, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Luisfege: sí, las reuniones son todos los jueves. La verdad es que preferimos no aplazarlas por varios motivos (evitar confusiones e intentar generar la costumbre, principalmente), aunque si observáramos que varias personas preferirían otro horario permanentemente (que parece que no es tu caso), las trasladaríamos (o incluso consideraríamos la posibilidad de hacer dos sesiones semanales).

De cualquier modo, si en algún momento puedes conectarte e ingresar a la reunión, ¡bienvenido!; si no, no hay ningún problema: nos veremos en la siguiente. ¡Saludos! --Racso ^¿¿¿??? 04:34, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Además siempre queda un acta, la cual puedes revisar. --Sahaquiel9102 04:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Colaboraré en lo que haga falta. Davichito 17:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

English page

For this project's page, do you want me to insert English translations in this page, or do you want me to make a separate page like I did for Wikimedia Costa Rica? WhisperToMe (talk) 03:36, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure whom you were asking, but in my humble opinion, English translations on the same page are better at this stage, as they are thus more likely to be kept up to date. Asaf Bartov (WMF Grants) talk 17:19, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

I was asking everybody contributing to the project. Sounds good! Some Wikimedia country projects do things differently; i.e. Costa Rica opted for a separate page in English WhisperToMe (talk) 19:34, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

I have added English to this page. This corresponds with adding Spanish to the US Wikimedia Federation page, and English to the Costa Rica page. This will help foreigners living in Colombia who speak English better than Spanish participate in Wikimedia Colombia. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Wikimedia LGBT

		Wikimedia LGBT+
		Wikimedia LGBT+ is a proposed thematic organization that seeks to promote the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT+ communities. Proposed activities include outreach at LGBT events, Wikimania and other Wikimedia events, an international campaign called Wiki Loves Pride, and work on safe space policies, among other collaborations and interwiki projects. Active Wikimedians are welcome to join this cause! Please consider adding your name as a participant/supporter. Current tasks include translating pages, building a strong framework here at Meta, and achieving user group status (with the eventual goal of becoming a thematic organization). Your feedback is welcome on the discussion page.

Tagging for translation

On the Babylon talk page I proposed tagging the Wikimedia Colombia pages for translation. Everyone cool with it? Meta_talk:Babylon#Tagging_Texas_Wikimedians_and_Wikimedia_Egypt_for_translation It would put the Spanish and English content in separate places, and allow for translation of Wikimedia Colombia/Grupo de usuarios WhisperToMe (talk) 05:25, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

WikiScienceCompetition 2017 in Latin America

Hi. Wiki Science Competition has started in the whole word. Please, see m:CentralNotice/Request/Wiki_Science_Competition_2017_(November_1-30) for banner discussion. It's a request for banner for WSC.

I could find jurors from SOuth America, bust mostly Brasilian so I reminf you that our second-level jury can be enlarged if you have a suitable profile to suggest (basically, anyone with a bibliometric record, who is expert of peer-reviewed publications, possibly a scientist). we don't need in any case many new names if the upload is so low in many countries.

On many local wikipedias such as on trwiki, elwiki, etc I opened a discussion for banner, we fixed most of Asia and Europe where necessary but the thing seems urgent now in Latin America because we have no uploaded files.

Here is a discussion on eswiki

Please notice that I was focused on the academic committee, only now that the main work there is done I am helping with the organization. If someone else has contacted or not contacted you, I don't know. I can't exchange all the details related to more than 190 countries, I am just trying to give scientists from all the world similar opportunities, that's it.

If we can't get a banner, please if you can tweet us #WSC2017 #WikiScience.--Alexmar983 (talk) 07:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy: Summary and Report

Dear Wikimedia affiliate,

Last year, the Wikimedia Foundation Board announced they started the process with creating an Affiliates Strategy in collaboration with the Affiliations Committee, the affiliates, and the broader communities with the intention to develop a strategy that will help guide the Foundation’s immediate work in supporting affiliates for the next few years, with a primary focus on the recognition process, as a direct responsibility of the Board.

Over several months, the Wikimedia Foundation Board engaged with an outside consultant to drive a review process of what work the Foundation was doing to support affiliates. The end goal was to have several recommended actions.

You can read more about the findings and the recommendations on this Meta-Wiki page.

Best,
