Venue[edit]

Meetup Code of Conduct and Anonymity when Meeting Via Video Conference[edit]

All attendees are expected to understand and abide by the Draft Universal Code of Conduct for the Wikimedia Movement.

The video conferencing meetup is a replacement for the in-person meetup. While attending and remaining anonymous is supported by the group, lurking is not supported and will be actively discouraged. All attendees are expected to use their User name as an identifier on the video conference call and to introduce themselves and their interest in joining the call on the chat channel of the call as a minimum. Participation using video and / or voice in addition to Chat is encouraged but not required.

Some members of the group have been the target of cyber bullying in the past and these measures are intended to support creating a safe space for collaboration.

If a new attendee joins the group with video and voice disabled, they will be encouraged to participate by the facilitator, using this script:

Welcome new attendee. This group respects your right to remain anonymous. This group has a policy of discouraging lurking as it makes some of us uncomfortable. If you are happy to introduce yourself over voice, please let us know what you've been working on and if you need help with any editing issues.
If you're not comfortable updating the group by voice, then that's okay. You have the option of introducing yourself and adding your user page link in the chat feature. The chat is deleted once the video conference finishes.
If you want to remain completely anonymous and not chat, then this meetup is not for you. We make comprehensive and extensive notes of the meetup that will be included in the meetup page afterwards. That's the best way to catch up with what this meetup has been doing if you don't want to contribute during the video call.
If you're not sure how to use the chat feature you can access it by clicking on the icon that looks like a speech bubble in the bottom left corner.

If, after an appropriate length of time, the new attendee does not participate by video, voice, or chat, the facilitator of the group will remove the attendee from the video call.

If the new attendee persists in logging in, the group will discuss abandoning the meet up.

Agenda and Notes from Meeting[edit]

1. Introduction to meet up by organisers (if there are any newbies joining us)

Round table introductions. 1 new attendee "lurking" to figure out whether she wants to edit. Welcome!

2. Progress on Action Points

Ambrosia10 has been asked to present to Te Papa staff during late May. Gertrude206 contacted School Librarians group but hasn't had any expressions of interest. Ambrosia10 contacted LIANZA who were very interested and will promote the event in their newsletter. LIANZA representative contacted Giantflightlessbirds who is picking up the batten and leading this within LIANZA.

Group reviewed and provided feedback to the project page. Ambrosia10 will help set up a dashboard for this Wiki Project.

Registration is now LIVE This is the link to register for the event https://auckland-wikicon-2021.lilregie.com/ Update on progress provided by Einebillion. Noted that Auckland Museum staff are being very helpful and are co-hosting. Catering is expensive and will form the majority of the costs that we are going to Wikimedia Foundation for funding to support. There are four scholarships available up to $250 to assist with attendance and digital inclusion for those that would otherwise be unable to attend. See more when registering. Information from survey included in the registration will inform the presentations as it identifies which wikis are of interest and the experience level of attendees.

One of the Auckland Museum staff helping with the Auckland WikiCon is encouraging the User Group to present at the NDF to make the group more known to GLAMs. Einebillion is looking to put a presentation forward for NDF to present on the User Group progress and the engagement with GLAMs.

Noracrentiss is working on this with the sub-committee from the User Group. Looking to set up a local organising committee to help as this is likely to be the largest WikiCon building on our previous experience. Looking to develop three streams of presentations based on the themes Performing Arts, Science/Natural Environment, and GLAM.

3. Further discussion on choosing a page to get to Featured Article status. Consensus that Yes this is a good idea but let's keep it to 30 min per session. But what page? Can we propose pages? Yes. Put them in for next session. But look for resources and writing about the topic because we need a good lot of information to get an article to Featured Article status.

4. Round table for participants to say what you’re working on and if you need help to do anything or want anything demonstrated - You can add requests for help here prior to the meeting if you want

5. Get on with problem solving, editing, and chatting
