More to learn

Further details about what I would like to learn.

Proposal writing for funding (writing a good proposal that follows a logical sequence and captures your vision, your strategies, and how your activities, budget, and evaluation respond to this. Focused on Wikimedia funds, but can also be useful for other grant/partnership proposal writing). + It is really useful to know this kind of skills, especially for my areas of interest, related to environmental issues, but also because I am now participating in a program with a national public institution in which funds are needed to start digitizing historical archives of national heritage value.

Processes and tools to manage conflicts (developing skills in non-violent communication and mediation, designing effective channels and processes for identifying and resolving disputes and conflict). + I can work managing large groups of people when they work harmoniously and peacefully, but when conflicts arise, I don't know how to deal with the tension that arises.

Tools developed to automate processes (e.g. AutoWikibrowser, Pywikibot) +These tools are very useful when handling large volumes of information; but I don't know how to use them.

Stories about sharing

Interesting stories about applying the skills I want to share.

Important team and volunteer management skills (adaptability, team building, self-awareness, problem solving, mentoring, assertive communication). + In my work, I have been involved several times in managing and coordinating 10 to 50 young volunteers for the Congreso Futuro and Congreso Jóvenes Futuro events, as well as leading the activities of the volunteers of the national deliberation program LXS 400.

Small editing events, campaigns and contests (Local instances of global campaigns or activities (e.g., local Wiki Loves Monuments events, #WikiForHumanRights, WikiGap). Local editing events designed to work with partners or new audiences in need of hands-on training. On and offline facilitation skills). + For the Chilean Wikimedia chapter I co-organized an editathon on the proposed constitution in Chile. The attendees created content transforming legal text into something more easy to understand.

Software and digital skills + During the last decade I have used digital editing tools for Wikipedia projects, such as Inkscape, Gimp, Audacity, VicuñaUploader, among other open source software. For an intern I used R code to automatically generate wiki text about the environmental characteristics of each commune in Chile.
