WikiFireside Chat with Yop and Philip

From their respective living rooms with some background noise included, Yop and Philip look at results of the ratification vote on the Movement Charter and what the result and the reactions to the result mean for Wikimedia in general, and the strategy process specifically. Afterwards, there is a preview of Wikimania 2024 and which sessions might be of interest for those inclined to listen and work on strategic and governance-related Wikimedia topics.Show notes:Movement Charter/Drafting Committee/Announcement - Results of the ratification voteThe program of Wikimania 2024, which starts on August 7th and ends on August 10thYou can email us at wikifireside@gmail.com with any corrections, suggestions or ideas you might have :-)Attributions:Campfire sound ambience.ogg - Glaneur de sons - CC BY 3.0Published under CC BY 4.0

Yop and Philip look at the final version of the Movement Charter, the document that stands at the end of a process that started back in 2017 and which would give the Wikimedia global community a voice in the form of the Global Council. Philip explains the different parts of the charter and what to look out for, as well as why it's a good idea to ratify it (you can still take part in the ratification process until July 7!), and how the response by the Wikimedia Board of Trustees is not the response we required from them. Show notes:CEE Hub analysis of the Movement CharterSummary of the Movement charter ratification process in the SignpostAttributions:Campfire sound ambience.ogg - Glaneur de sons - CC BY 3.0Published under CC BY 4.0

Yop and Philip look back at the Wikimedia Summit 2024, the global gathering of the affiliate Wikimedia organisations, which took place in Berlin in April of this year. Yop attended the event and shares her impressions. Afterwards, we look at the first complete feedback by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on the Movement Charter. Note: This episode was recorded in early June and could only be published now. Views on the final version of the Movement Charter and what the Board of Trustees has to say on that version will follow in the next episode :-)Our page on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiFireside_ChatShow notes:Final outputs of the Wikimedia Summit 2024Statement on the previous version of the Movement charter by the Wikimedia Board of TrusteesAttributions:Campfire sound ambience.ogg - Glaneur de sons - CC BY 3.0
