Talk:Brazil Program/Reports/wep2012-general

Draft of the milestones

2nd school term: One successful case that estimulated WMF to start the Wikipedia Education Program in Brazil (apparently, no much conection with the Catalyst Program analysis)
June-July: global dev efforts announced to the most active Brazilian community (in São Paulo) in the mid of the year and a consultant position was announced
October: again a global dev visit with a bit more analysis of PT WP and the same job positions announced
December: a contractor, who was part of the community, was hired to start a small education pilot working partial time (20h/week) with the support of a manager in SF

December-January: recruiting professors using the contractor network
January-February: a lot of work to try to organize the messed up pages related to the program and centralize them (a lot of work done with the community, which also involves a lot of support of volunteers from Portugal)
February: recruiting ambassadors together with the community (we could not fill all the slots and we loose some in the last moment)
February-July: started with 4 to 5 planned professors, ended with 3 actually working with WMF. 1 successful case, one so so and one bad. Other individual initiatives appeared.
May: decision to expand the program in the second scholl term (WEP director and managers) through an open call
June: open call for one month to select about 15 professors (strike on several universities obliged changes on the planned schedule)
July: Notification to selected professors (10 of them not affected by the strike and most near São Paulo)

August: Workshop in São Paulo with 7 professors WMF was going to work with (2 selected didn't reply)
August-December: worked with 15 professors, most of them affected by the strike. Only 6 out of 7 not affected by the strike have participated of the program until the end of the semester, althought some of them are still working with the articles review.
September: Workshop in Rio de Janeiro with 5 professors from the city (3 selected by the open call). Other professors we gave online instructions or smaller workshops. Workshops in Porto Alegre.
October: Workshop in Curitiba with one selected professor and one online instruction
November: Workshop in Vitória with 2 selected professors

My opinion is "There is not enough online and campus ambassadors and a sustainable growth is not possible yet, if possible". --Ezalvarenga (talk) 14:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
