CEE Hub Steering Committee members meeting in Zagreb 2023
- Content
Zagreb Meeting which took place on 31st of March and 1st of April 2023 was the first in-person meeting of the CEE Hub Steering Committee (SC) members and employees of the CEE Hub.
The meeting was semi-closed; the whole first day and the first half of the second day were open only to the SC members and employees. During the second half of the second day, sessions were open for special advisors of the CEE Hub and also for the participants from the wider group of supporters of the CEE Hub, as well as some Wikipedians/Wikimedians from the region. Some of them participated in the meeting online while others came to Zagreb (Croatia).
At the meeting, SC members along with the employees of the CEE Hub, successfully made a list of the planned activities which the CEE Hub will focus on during the year, which will replace the initial planned activities in the grant proposal. Activities still will be divided on the same three pillars as the initial activities: Administrative, Programmatic and Communication.
- Discussion
This meeting was dedicated to discussing the initial programme of the CEE Hub, focusing on three pillars: administrative, programmatic and communication. These three pillars represent the support which the CEE Hub staff is providing to the CEE communities in the form of numerous activities and sub-activities (e.g. support while writing grant applications, organising learning clinics, purchasing on demand promo materials).
Although further and more detailed elaboration of activities which were a part of the initial CEE Hub grant proposal was the main point of the discussion, during this meeting we debated other topics as well: CEE Hub support for CEE Spring, CEE Meeting 2023 and 2024, and Wikimania 2024, cooperation with others and the CEE Hub budget.
During the second day we commenced analyzing the current and future governance model of the CEE Hub focusing mainly on examining how the SC members should be elected and how to organize the voting system. Also, a very important part of the discussions was the CEE Hub vision - what and where we want to be in the future.
- Conclusions
This meeting provided enough time to open discussion about all important and open questions. Unfortunately there was not enough time to conclude all discussions. Therefor the SC members decided to continue working on the following topics:
- CEE Hub Vision
- Governance model of the CEE Hub
- CEE Hub support for cross regional events and meetings (such as CEE Spring, CEE Meeting, Wikimania)
