- Wikimedia Norge's general assembly will be held on March 14th at noon in the Interkulturelt museum, Tøyenbekken 5, 0188 Oslo.

Standardized Impact Template based on SDGs
Dear Jan, Hello from California, 9 hours behind Amsterdam. Kindly request to schedule a time slot when you would have 10 minutes for a presentation. Re: Standardized Impact Template based on SDGs Thank you Jan. Best, Joseph ceo buysycle http://www.buysycle.com/
- Hello Joseph Hentz! Can you do today at 19.00 UTC? If so, send me a wikimail and we can sort out how to connect. Ainali (talk) 06:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

AI legislation
Dear Ainali,
I contact you since you are marked among the "People who are interested" in Advanced technology page. As you might already know, the EU is working about a regulation of the AI environment, in order to promote its potential and at the same time to protect the citizens from unwanted uses. It is going to be an important moment for achieving the most empowering, safe and clear definition of the rights and duties related to the AI, affecting also Wikimedia's opportunities, not only inside EU. I kindly invite you to participate to the discussion, firstly by commenting the page that is dedicated to it, in order to draft Wikimedia's answers to this legislative initiative of the EU.
The linked page contains the questions from the public consultation by the European Commission on its Artificial Intelligence White Paper.
The EU's survey will remain open until 14 June 2020, but we will take input into account until 31 May 2020.
Thanks, --sNappy(talk) 21:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Mall:Samma som
HI! I just saw your presentation on Wikispore Day about wikisource:sv:Mall:Samma som, and it looks cool! I was just wondering if it'd qualify for a sitelink to Template:Wikidata link (Q17484365)? I've been experimenting with a similar template on English Wikisource, wikisource:Template:wdl, and I have a vague memory that Italian Wikisource does something similar, and takes it another step by using it to categorize pages according to what other concepts they link to. —Sam Wilson 06:29, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! It looks similar, but also with a bit of a different purpose and implementation. I am not sure if it is better to link them now and then change them when more identical templates are created or keep them separate in order to not make people think there already are identical templates on the other wikis. ♥Ainali talkcontributions 10:02, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Invitation to affiliate members to complete a survey about WMF wide Universal Code of Conduct
Hello; My name is Mervat, and I am helping the Trust and Safety team to reach out to affiliates in order to discuss the Universal Code of Conduct. I am contacting you as you are a member of the Wikimedians for Sustainable Development User Group. If you have received this from other user groups/chapters, you can ignore.
There has been talks about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time, and finally, Wikimedia Foundation Board announced a Community Culture Statement, enacting new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.Since the universal code of conduct that will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe, and will impact our work as groups, individuals and projects, it’s of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC, its nature, what we think it should cover or include and what it shouldn’t include; how it may develop, drawback or help our groups. This is the time to talk about it. As you are a valuable contributor to the Wikimedia movement, your voice counts. Before starting to draft the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you; We invite you to devote some minutes to take this survey; your answers will help us create a safer environment for all on Wikimedia:
It’s possible that you are a member of more than one affiliate; hence you may receive this survey more than once, and you may have participated previously in the discussions or filled out a previous survey during the first round of consultations about UCoC which targeted wikipedia/wikimedia communities. We apologize for this; it is really difficult to identify if a wikimedian belongs to multiple groups that work to spread free knowledge. Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions and hoping that you can respond within the next 2 weeks. If you have any questions about the surveys or difficulties accessing the link, please contact me by email (msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org)Results will be considered during the drafting process for the UCoCThank you for your participation
