Grants:APG/Proposals/2012-2013 round1/Wikimedia Österreich/Progress report form/Q3

Purpose of the report

This form is for organizations receiving Annual Plan Grants to report on their results to date. For progress reports, the time period for this report will the first 6 months of each grant (e.g. 1 January - 30 June of the current year). For impact reports, the time period for this report will be the full 12 months of this grant, including the period already reported on in the progress report (e.g. 1 January - 31 December of the current year). This form includes four sections, addressing global metrics, program stories, financial information, and compliance. Please contact APG/FDC staff if you have questions about this form, or concerns submitting it by the deadline. After submitting the form, organizations will also meet with APG staff to discuss their progress.

Global metrics overview - all programs

We are trying to understand the overall outcomes of the work being funded across our grantees' programs. Please use the table below to let us know how your programs contributed to the Global Metrics. We understand not all Global Metrics will be relevant for all programs, so feel free to put "0" where necessary. For each program include the following table and

1. Next to each required metric, list the outcome achieved for all of your programs included in your proposal.
2. Where necessary, explain the context behind your outcome.
3. In addition to the Global Metrics as measures of success for your programs, there is another table format in which you may report on any OTHER relevant measures of your programs success

For more information and a sample, see Global Metrics.

Overall

Metric	Achieved outcome	Explanation
1. # of active editors involved
2. # of new editors
3. # of individuals involved
4. # of new images/media added to Wikimedia articles/pages
5. # of articles added or improved on Wikimedia projects
6. Absolute value of bytes added to or deleted from Wikimedia projects

Telling your program stories - all programs

Please tell the story of each of your programs included in your proposal. This is your chance to tell your story by using any additional metrics (beyond global metrics) that are relevant to your context, beyond the global metrics above. You should be reporting against the targets you set at the beginning of the year throughout the year. We have provided a template here below for you to report against your targets, but you are welcome to include this information in another way. Also, if you decided not to do a program that was included in your proposal or added a program not in the proposal, please explain this change. More resources for storytelling are at the end of this form. Here are some ways to tell your story.

• We encourage you to share your successes and failures and what you are learning. Please also share why are these successes, failures, or learnings are important in your context. Reference learning patterns or other documentation.
• Make clear connections between your offline activities and online results, as applicable. For example, explain how your education program activities is leading to quality content on Wikipedia.
• We encourage you to tell your story in different ways by using videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, e.g.), compelling quotes, and by linking directly to work you produce. You may highlight outcomes, learning, or metrics this way.
• We encourage you to continue using dashboards, progress bars, and scorecards that you have used to illustrate your progress in the past, and to report consistently over time.
• You are welcome to use the table below to report on any metrics or measures relevant to your program. These may or may not include the global metrics you put in the overview section above. You can also share your progress in another way if you do not find a table like this useful.

Resources

Resources to plan for measurement

• Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
• Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
• Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.

Overview of this quarter

The purpose of this section is to provide a brief overview of this report. Please use no more than 1-2 paragraphs to address the questions outlined below. You will have an opportunity to address these questions in detail elsewhere in this report.

CHANGES: Please describe how you changed your plans and budget based on the FDC allocation approved by the Board in December 2012, and your rationale for these changes. You can then use the changed plans and budget as the basis on which to report back on the third quarter.

• No mayor changes apart from what we already stated in the Q2 report.

HIGHLIGHTS: What were 1–2 important highlights of the past quarter? (These may include successes, challenges, lessons learned.)

• QR Codes in the Botanical Garden in Graz: A cooperation that was started last year finally fruited this quarter. The botanical garden of the university in Graz introduced signs with QR-Codes linked to the Wikipedia articles of the respective plants. Beforehand, the required 300 articles were compiled in a list and created or revised by the biology community. (See our July report)
• Wiki Loves Monuments: WMAT was successful in keeping up the the enthusiasm for our cultural heritage and made it amongst the Top 10 contributing countries in the 2013 contest - a considerable success measured against our size and population.
• "netidee grant" by the Internet Foundation Austria: We received the maximum funding of 50.000 EUR for a project together with Open Knowledge Foundation Austria and the Cooperation Open Government Data Austria for a joint project which aims at establishing a central open data portal in Austria that hosts non-governmental open data. We received the maximum funding despite a new record number of applicants this year, which makes this success even more remarkable.

WIKI-FOCUS: What Wikimedia projects was your entity focused on (e.g., Wiki Commons, French Wiktionary) this quarter?

• German-language Wikipedia
• Wikimedia Commons

GROWTH: How did your entity grow over the past quarter vs. the previous quarter (e.g., Number of active editors reached/involved/added, number of articles created, number of events held, number of partipants reached through workshops)?

• New articles: At the Austrian portal site site in de.wikipedia 679 new articles focussing on Austrian topics have been registered in the third quarter of 2013 (34 more than in the second quarter). Some of them were supported by the book grant and the library project of WMAT.
• New photographies: By September 30 there were 21,717 files in our Commons-category Supported by Wikimedia Österreich. As we wrote in our Q2 report, by June 30 there have been about 19.080 files there. This leads to a growth of 2,637 files in the third quarter of 2013 which accounts for an increase of 13.82 %.
• WLM outcome: Overall there have been 11,074 pictures uploaded in the WLM-contest by 190 uploaders. In de.wikipedia of these new uploaded pictures 1,107 (10%) are already implemented in articles. For detailed statistics please visit the WLM-statistics-site.

Financial summary

The FDC requires information about how your entity received and spent money over the past year. The FDC distributes general funds, so your entity is not required to use funds exactly as outlined in the proposal. While line-item expenses will not be examined, the FDC and movement wants to understand why the entity spent money in the way it did. If variance in budgeted vs. actual is greater than 20%, please provide explanation in more detail. This helps the FDC understand the rationale behind any significant changes. Note that any changes from the Grant proposal, among other things, must be consistent with the WMF mission, must be for charitable purposes as defined in the grant agreement, must be reported to WMF, and must otherwise comply with the grant agreement. The WMF mission is "to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally."

Explanations

Progress toward this year's goals/objectives

This section addresses the impact of the programs / initiatives* and objectives your entity has implemented over the past quarter and the progress your entity is making toward meeting this year's goals. We understand that some metrics may not be applicable in this quarterly report, so please add metrics here if they are applicable.

*In the past, the FDC has used the term 'initiative', but we are using the term 'program.'

Program 1

Community support

What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.

• Expand and diversify the community of editors and volunteers
• Community building

Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?

Wikimedians at cooking and photographing

The Austrian participants at Wikimania

• In the third quarter of 2013 there have been 3 monthly Wikipedian meet-ups in Vienna (one in August, two in September), each with about 8 participants, and a meet-up in Graz with 4 participants. All of them were supported by WMAT in varying degrees.
• 2 international Wikipedian meet-ups were supported by WMAT in the third quarter: Firstly, the meet-up of the Biology Editorial Team in de.wikipedia was heldt in August. The participants travelled to the Czech republic this time to take pictures of interesting and/or rare plants and animals. The second meet-up was a "Wiki loves food - cooking project" initiated by an Austrian and a German Wikipedian together and taking place in the last week of August in Vienna.
• In this years WLM-contest 190 users from Austria uploaded pictures to participate. Although we had approx. 100 participants less than in 2012 (293), this years' participants uploaded even more pictures than last year. On average every participant uploaded 58.28 pictures (2012: 36.83), this shows the increased involvement of our community in WLM.

Activities conducted.

• Assistance of Wikipedians in organizing local meet-ups all over Austria, board members and staff are regualrly visiting these events, in order to inform about WMATs activities and to collect ideas and stimuli for our work from the community.
• Supporting the organisation of international meet-ups like the two mentioned above by comming up for travel costs of participants, rental fee for infrastructure and vehicles, for groceries and transportation costs and by allocating parts of the photographic equipment.
• Organizing of photo-accreditations for our community-photographers and providing technical equipment (see also Program 2 - Free Content Generation).
• As already stated above the WLM-contest was not only a project for gaining new free-licensed pictures (see also Program 2 - Free Content Generation), but also for winning new photographers for our future projects. An interesting fact is, that we see a high level of editor-retention through WLM: Photographers who uploaded a picture in the past in the contest tended to either become a member of the pre-jury and/or upload photos again this year, although some of them were not uploading any photos inbetween the contests.
• Support of interested Wikimedians from Austria to participate in the Wikimania 2013 in Hong Kong. The goal of WMAT's support was to enable the Austrian Wikimedians to get in contact with the international community, get a feeling for which topics rank internationally on a high level of attention and to gather ideas and input for current and future projects. Therefore, Wikimedia Österreich supported seven scholarship holders by covering for their travel costs, accomodation and the attendance fees.
• In August WMAT also supported the participation of some Wikipedians at the Upper Austrian Ortsbildmesse and was present at the fair with an info-booth and some speciall leaflets. This was a great opportunity for us to reach out for parts of the community outside of Vienna.
• Donation of prizes as incentives for the Wiki Cup and Wartungsbausteinwettbewerb participants.
• Book grant: WMAT supported several authors by providing necessary literature resources.

What worked and what did not?

• Although we had approx. 100 participants less than last year in our national WLM-contest, the number of pictures has risen. This might be due to some additional support WMAT granted this years participants by comming up for their travel costs if they would travel to areas where there was a lack of good photographies. It could be seen as a further development of the former "Wiki takes"-projects. We plan to have a special focus on the rural areas outside of the already well-covered urban city-sites in the comming years. We also noticed, that the Austrian WLM appraisal system (two-tier system with a broad pre-jury) is very successful when it comes to editor retention and involvement of the existing community into the project. 3 of our 5 most active members of the pre-jury were only participants in 2012's WLM-contest. Overall 18 users participated as members of our pre-jury.
• One mayor goal of the "Wiki loves food - cooking project" was to reduce conflicts in the editorial team and foster mutual understanding concerning cultural differences. We realized that it is hard to achieve this with only one meeting. Long-lasting conflicts don't tend to vanish at a moment's notice. We therefore plan regular similar meeting in the future in order to support the teambuilding over time.

Program 2

Free content generation

What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.

• Increase content in the Wikimedia projects, especially articles for de.wikipedia and pictures for Commons.
• Valorization of the volunteer's work and involvement

Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?

QR-code signs at the botanical garden in Graz

At the finals of the Austrian bike tour 2013

Onion-roast made at the "Wiki loves food - cooking project"

• In the third quarter of 2013 there were 679 new articles registered at the Austrian portal site in de.wikipedia. These articles are all focussing on Austria-related topics (persons, organisations, landmarks, monuments, etc.) and are partially supported by WMAT in various ways (through the bookgrant or the library project for example).
• Additionally, 300 articles for the Botanical garden project were created or revised.
• By monitoring our Commons-Category Supported by Wikimedia Österreich we get a quite good insight in the number of new photographies. By September 30 there were 21,717 files included in the category. Compared with the end of the second quarter, where there were 19,080 files included, this leads to a growth of circa 2,637 files in the third quarter of 2013 which accounts for an total increase of 13.82 %.
• Additionally, 11,074 pictures were uploaded during the 2013 edition of Wiki Loves Monuments in Austria. That's a growth of 238 pictures compared to 2012's WLM results. Austria got the 10th place regarding the nations with most uploaded pictures during WLM 2013, which is quite remarkable considering the size of the country.
• Beyond these quantitative figures, we are also happy to see that there were 26 new photos supported by Wikimedia Österreich classified as quality images.

Activities conducted.

• In the wake of the QR Codes for the Botanical Garden project 300 articles were compiled in a list and created or revised by the biology community. The QR Codes are designed by WMAT staff, the signs by the team of the botanical garden. The launch of the project was accompanied by a press release of the University of Graz and WMAT, that resulted in coverage by Austrian TV and press.
• During the "Wiki loves food - cooking project", which is already mentioned above (see also Program 1 - Community support), 558 pictures of meals and groceries have been made.
• WLM was as well a contest with the goal of free content generation as it was a way to reach new photographers. The participants were supported by Wikimedia Österreich in various ways by comming up for their travel costs and by providing its photographic equipment.
• Creating a brochure on our cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office and presenting it in context of a joint info booth at the Vienna Science Festival in September.
• Wikimedia Austria continued providing its high-quality photographic equipment to community-photographers and organizing accreditations for the admission to the press area at larger events. In the third quarter of 2013 for example the finals of the Austrian bike tour 2013 in Vienna, the Austrian Bowl XXIX in St. Pölten, a Football match between Austria and Greece, the Vienna Chess Open 2013, the award ceremony of Prix Ars Electronica 2013 and the Showjumping-event Vienna Masters 2013 have been photographed with the support of WMAT.
• The support of scanning of old books at the library of the Federal Authority for the Monuments, which brought numerous historical pictures and drawings of monuments to Wikimedia Commons, was continued at the third quarter of 2013.

Program 3

Resources

What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.

• Generate € 25 000 funding for Wikimedia Österreich mission and activities
• Extend the base of loyal donors

Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?

• We could keep our average level of donations per quarter (approx. 2300 EUR).
• We made a huge step to diversifying our funds by the successful application for the "netidee" grant. Although this will only come into effect end of 2013 / 2014.

Activities conducted.

• Data base maintenance
• "netidee" application

What worked and what did not?

• See "Lessons learned" section, "organisational factors for success"

Program 4

Organisation

What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.

• Professional acting of the organization
• Improve administrative task treatment
• Meet reporting requirements of Wikimedia Foundation, certification body and other donors

Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?

The board of WMAT at a strategy meeting on October 6th, 2013

• We closed our fiscal year 2012/2013 and evaluated our admistrative tasks during the last year. As a result WMAT will change a few administrative processes during the next few month (see also lessons learned / major setbacks).
• WMAT handed in an FDC proposal for round 1 2013/2014.
• Together with Chris Keating (WMUK), Markus Glaser (WMDE) and Michal Buczynski (WMPL) our ED is currently organizing a board training in order to promote learning and the exchange of experiences of volunteer board members in the Wikiverse. The idea to set this up unbureaucratically by a small team came up during Wikimania due to the unsure future of WCA.

Activities conducted.

• Preparation of the external and internal audits of our fiscal year.
• In preparation of the FDC proposal we conducted a call for porposal among community members, had in person consultations with volunteers during the serveral meet-ups and held diverse session with staff and board in order to review and update our strategy.
• Finding a date / location and drafting a programm for the board training workshop and adressing potential presenters

What worked and what did not?

• We are very happy with FDC proposal and the program and budget planning as we believe it is consistent and viable.
• There is room for improvement concerning administrative task treatment (see also lessons learned / major setbacks).
• Collecting information for budget planning proved to be a challenge. In the call for projects as well as in face to face discussion it's hard to get volunteers to not only to share their great ideas, but to also set clear goals and to give estimates of the resources required.

Lessons learned

Lessons from this quarter

A key objective of the funding is to enable the movement as a whole to understand how to achieve shared goals better and faster. An important way of doing this is to identify lessons learned from entities who receive funds, and to share these lessons across the movement. The purpose of this section is to elicit some of these insights, which will be shared throughout the movement. Please answer the following questions in 1–2 paragraphs each.

What were your major accomplishments in the past quarter, and how did you help to achieve movement goals?

• During the last quarter we were successful in conducting several projects (e.g. the Ortsbildmesse in Upper-Austria or the "Wiki takes Carinthia" tour in the wake of WLM) in more "peripherial" areas of Austria and thereby reaching volunteers and audiences that can't be adressed adequately by the many Vienna-based activities. Hence, this projects contribute to community building and outreach.
• We made an important step in diversifying our funds by obtaining the "netidee"-grant of 50.000 EUR.

What were your major setbacks in the past quarter (e.g., programs that were not successful)?

• We knew it before, but the last quarter proved again very impressively that the amount of administration for a small chapter like ours became considerable high. During the last month we had to finish our fiscal year (and start preparing auditing and the documentation for the general assembly in November), set up a strategy, budget and program plan for next year, create the FDC proposal and look after the reporting for this years FDC grant. As the pressure is a result of many external requirements that we can hardly influence, all we can do from our end as a chapter is to look into ways to make our procceses and procedures more efficient. We also need to revise the strucutre of our accounts to somehow fit the demands of all our auditors (FDC, external auditor, Fundraising Certificate) as best as possible and to create synergies whereever it is possible. Hence, we decided to change our fiscal year to fit the calendar year and the FDC grant period. As outlined in our 2014 proposal, we plan to outsource the book keeping to a "professional" company. So we need to find a suitable service provider, redefine our processes together with them and move our accounting from Civi CRM to a new accounting system. All these measures will costs a considerable amount of time in 2014 but will most certainly pay out in the long run.
• Looking at our mature and well-running WLM-project in September we have strong worries about the upcomming deactivation of the toolserver, where our Jury-Tools and some important database-systems are running on. Regarding the transfer of this systems to WikimediaLabs there are still some concerns of our developers and a smooth transfer seems to be at least unlikely. This might cause troubles in next years WLM-contest and the ongoing work of our community regarding the Austrian monuments lists.

What factors (organizational, environmental) enabled your success?

• Since we established an office and have employees, WMAT was capable to intensify its networking efforts regarding like-minded organizations. In this course, we etablished good relations to public administration organizations (e.g. Federal Chancellors office, City of Vienna) and the Open Knowledge Foundation Austria which were key to our success of getting the netidee grant mentioned above. We benefitted from their expertise, resources and wider network regarding open data and the open data community which will also be helpful in the course of the project itself.
• We entertain a long and fruitful cooperation with the Austrian Federal Monuments Office, which is together with our experienced project team a cruical factor of success especially for Wiki Loves Monuments. However, it is important to keep up constant communication with a partnering GLAM institution and not simply repeating yearly routines. Therefore, we look into the lessons we learned in previous years and discuss alterations to this years project accordingly. We also put effort into including new things (e.g. events, prizes, partners) every year. This year for example, we created a little brochure on our cooperation and presented it in context of the Vienna Science Festival in September.

What unanticipated challenges did you encounter and how did this affect what you were able to accomplish?

• After a long period of uncertainty, the WikiCon for the German-speaking community will now definitely take part in November in Germany. Together with our other important regular dates this at time of the year that consume a lot of volunteer and staff time (especially the general assembly, Wiki Loves Monuments award ceremony) and the increased amount of administrative work in September and October make it necessary to reschedule some other projects that where planned for the last quarter of 2013. At the moment we are discussing to postpone our next Landtagsprojekt (Federal Parliament project) to early 2014, as we doubt it will be possible to conduct it this year.

What changes might you make in executing your initiatives into the next quarter?

• Changes (or at least the preparation of them) concerning administration (see setbacks).
