The strategy discussion. The Cycle 2 will start on May 5

Hallo! I'm sorry that I'm not writing in dansk. Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog!

What's been going on so far

The first cycle of the Wikimedia movement strategy process recently concluded and the second cycle will begin soon. The strategy facilitators and many volunteers have summarized the discussions of the previous month. A quantitative analysis of the more than 1800 summary statements collected from the various communities will be posted on Meta for translation this week, alongside the report from the Berlin conference.

What will happen

The second cycle is set to begin on May 5 and run until May 31. During that period, you will be invited to dive into the main topics that emerged in the first cycle, discuss what they mean, which ones are the most important and why, and what their practical implications are. This work will be informed and complemented by research involving new voices that haven’t traditionally been included in strategy discussions, like readers, partners, and experts.

Together, we will begin to make sense of all this information and organize it into a meaningful guiding document, which we will all collectively refine during the third and last cycle in June−July.

What you could do

• Tell us where to announce the start of the Cycle 2, and how to do that, so we could be sure the majority of your community is informed and has a chance to feel committed, and
• Facilitate the Cycle 2 discussions here, on Danish Wikipedia (with invitations to the contributors of other Danish projects).

(Before the Cycle 1, a month ago, I asked on your IRC if your community is likely to have a separate local discussion about the strategy. Some of you - I don't have logs, I can't remember who - answered that your community was too busy at that moment. You can join any time, so I'm sending this with hope that someone will be interested.) SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskussion) 30. apr 2017, 16:02 (CEST)
