For the Wikimania 2025, the community of WikiTutur and Lingua Libre are considering the following actions.
Training of trainers
[edit]We could report on our experiences. Presentation would be training of trainers type. Includes step by step list to organize a Lingualibre / Wikitutur workshop and testimonies of successful events. Something like :
« Minorities outreach and empowerment : using Wikimedia tool Lingua Libre. »
Or:
« Minorities outreach and empowerment : how we trained minorities on Wikimedia tool (Lingua Libre) »
- Draft outline
- Objectives (why): visibilise minorities, spread WM collaborative practices, easiest WM contributive avenue (everyone can record).
- Our roles (who/what) : outreach to communities, events planning, animation and training
- Public (who) : minorities of various sizes & type, different needs, challenges, solutions.
- Methodology : step by step todo list.
- Supports: funding, grants, institutions, wikimedians in residence, etc.
- Interested presenters
- Ardzun, Yug, other ?
Workshop
[edit]We can complete it by (2) a practical workshop with WikiTutur. Happy to assist there. Maybe localize it toward African languages.
- Interested members
- Ardzun & co, Yug
Thematic report
[edit]This still leaves us room to submit thematic presentation :
- (3) Reporting on WikiTutur achievements, Ardzun & co
- (4) Reporting on Occitan Whistle project, Yug
Others
[edit]Other possible actions:
- (5) Official launch of Lingua Libre Django with guided demonstration (could go in/with the WikiTutur workshop ?)
- (6) Lead a Wikimania-long effort on African languages. Come to Nairobi with a few professional microphones (see this WMFR grant), propose Wikimania attendees to record the 207 words of the Swadesh list in their languages.
