News and current calls for feedback

While there are always many different feedback discussions going on, the following ones might be of particular interest to the CEE region.

  • The Wikimedia Foundation is currently discussing their annual plan for the year from July 2023 to June 2024 with communities worldwide. The CEE region is mentioned in a subsection of the "equity page", with an announcement of a second year of the CEE Hub even though no project grant has been written yet. Exciting!
  • Our friends from East, South East Asia and the Pacific region have published a draft of their proposal for creating an ESEAP Hub that will join the CEE Hub as another regional hub that is built from the bottom up. The goal is to set this hub up by Wikimania 2023 in Singapore and start the work soon after.
  • As you might have read in some of the many places that Wikimedia news are shared, Wikimania 2024 will be hosted in Kraków, Poland]]! The core team is aiming to involve as many CEE communities as possible, so watch their space for any announcements in that regard (you will most likely also read about it in the next few editions of the CEE Newsletter). Since this conference will happen in August 2024, this also means that the CEE Meeting 2024 will probably take place later in the year than usual, to leave more of a gap to Wikimania.
Meetings

May is the time of the year when meetings start happening again. While it might be too late to join some of them in person, you can still check if the conference or meeting offers live streams from the event.

  • May 12, 14, and 17
  • May 19-21
  • May 26-28
    • EduWiki Conference 2023 in Belgrade, Serbia (no program announced yet, recordings might be offered after the event). Discussions and sharing of experiences around everything that combines Wikimedia projects and education.
  • June 9-11
    • Wikimedia Europe General Assembly, the annual meeting in Prague, Czech Republic, of the newly incorporated Wikimedia Europe organisation, that is a continuation of the advocacy work in Brussels for all things concerning the European Union and its lawmaking processes.
