CEE Newsletter is back!
- Content
Some of you remember the CEE Newsletter back from 2017 when it was managed thanks to the volunteers from the CEE region. That newsletter was created based on the idea from the Wikimedia CEE Meeting in Warsaw, Poland (2017). Unfortunately, the newsletter faded away the very next year, with the last published issue from November 2018.
The initial idea behind the CEE Newsletter was that CEE communities showed interest to publish news and success stories in other monthly newsletters (such as "This Month in GLAM" and "This Month in Education"). With the CEE Newsletter, stories of our communities from the CEE region could be visible to all regional communities.
This time, the CEE Newsletter is supported by the regional Wikimedia CEE Hub and its employees, along with the temporary editor-in-chief Wojciech Pędzich from Poland, as volunteer.
Just like the initial newsletter, the new CEE Newsletter will enable us to collect stories and good practices developed in the CEE region, but also your opinions on different topics together with short updates and reports from the communities. It is a place for informing about the ongoing initiatives and a valuable resource for publicity and reporting purposes. You can publish about your institutional collaborations, contests and challenges, expeditions, edit-a-thons and other live events. You can share about important milestones and anniversaries, notable media appearances, gender gap activities, training and software tools or you can give tips about useful practices and send us your opinion articles. This Newsletter will act as a catalog of our CEE WM related work and it is created for both the CEE region and for anyone else who is interested in this part of the world.
This first issue includes stories from the beginning of the year, opinion articles, Wikimedia international update corner and announcements about currently open calls, one of them being the Call for Submissions for the Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2023 which is now open for both session proposals and registration.
The editorial team (currently consisting of 1 volunteer supported by both employees of the CEE Hub) will be responsible for maintaining the overall consistent look and feel of the newsletter and reaching out to potential authors from the region. Our initial plan is to publish CEE Newsletter on monthly or bi-monthly basis.
Feel welcome to contribute to the CEE Newsletter! Make sure we cover what matters to you!
The CEE Newsletter is open for new members in the editorial team, so please show your interest by writing an email to Barbara Klen or Toni Ristovski where you will express your interest and you will share with us if you are good in programming templates, in proofreading, translations, or in writing or finding interesting articles from CEE. Remark: This issue will have automatically translated articles into Russian, so if you are a native speaker of Russian, feel free to correct them. |
