Grants talk:TPS/Silva.1994/FOSScamp Syros 2017

Feedback requested

Dear Silva.1994,

I see that you, Sido uku and Nafie shehu have all submitted requests for travel support from Albania for your participation at FOSScamp Syros 2017. Based on the agenda for this event, it appears that the three of you are collaborating at this event. Generally, in the Travel and Participation Support program, we try to limit the number of requests we fund for any given event. If we fund multiple people to attend the same event, it needs to be clear what additional outcomes would be achieved by sending each additional participant.

Is it possible for you to provide any additional feedback about why you believe it is necessary for all three of you to attend this event?

Warm regards,

Dear Marti (WMF),

Yes, Sido uku, Nafie shehu and me are all members of the same local community and we are also recently contributing to Wikimedia. In the last month we had two events in our hackerspace, dedicated to Wikipedia as part of our efforts to grow our local community, raise contributions, enforce working as a community, aiming to create our Wikimedia Chapter one day. Details on these events:

• Wikipedia Open Day 1
• Wikipedia Open Day 2

Many people have joined us and have shown interest on Wikipedia and it's related projects. Proceeding those events, Nafie, Sidorela and me thought of joining FOSScamp and keep our work going during this event. Each one of us will be hosting workshops with different topics to cover. In the section of Goals and expected impact I have added the information explaining what I aim to achieve during this event, the numbers of atendees I expect in my workshop and the outcome of it. Sidorela and Nafie also added a detaild description related to the outcome of their workshops:

• Sido_uku, expected impact

• Nafie_shehu, expected impact

We will work on adding elements about Syros island so the whole thing will have a local character. Giannis Konstantinidis, from the FOSS Aegean community, will also help us since he as been organizing many local events similar to this so we can share experiences. We are also hosting a Wikimedia meetup on the fifth day to discuss together and get organizied on the future events we will organize related to the Wikimedia Project and how we cant take it further in our local community. Please let us know if there is any other information we need to provide.

Best Regards,

  • Wikipedia editing workshop - focusing on articles related to Syros - hosted by Nafie Shehu;

in light of the specific set of differentiated outcomes you have each added to your requests, as follows:

and in light of the fairly small costs of each request, I am approving all three of your requests for this event.

Please review the next steps for your grant as described in "How the program works". Note that your post-event report must provide a link to an outcome from your participation. We recommend that you start planning your outcome now so you are prepared to submit it as part of your report, which is due 14 days after the event. An outcome does not include the materials you prepare to present at the event (though we’d like you to link to those, too), but something that is created during or after the event because of your participation, such as a link to something new that was co-created by you and your fellow participants at the event, a blog post you wrote to share your experience with others after the event, or a learning pattern to teach others something you've learned at the event.

Our Grants Administrator will be in touch with you about your grant. Thank you for work on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation.
