English: The Wikimedia Summit is an (almost) annual event organised for Affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation to come together to discuss the future of the Wikimedia Movement.
The Wikimedia Summit 2024 in Berlin will focus on how the Movement is governed: how and at what level we make decisions about money, technology, strategy, and affiliates, and how that is written in the Movement Charter.
As an affiliate in good standing, the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group is able to nominate a representative to attend in-person. I would like to be that representative and the Governance team have agreed to put me forward.
Nominations close on Tuesday 15 August and we would like to give people a little time to comment or ask questions. You can do that here, on the email list or on Telegram.

We are preparing our new printed Fanzine with an idea that we want to share with you right now: dedicate our next poster issue in the Fanzine to you and the work you are doing to reduce the gender gap!
How? We will position all your interventions on a world map. It will be visually stimulating to see how projects dedicated to reducing the gender biases and gaps are conquering the Planet! We think it has not yet been done. Do you like the idea?
Concretely we are asking you to send a small punchy text resuming your activities and an illustration. We are counting on you and wish you all the best.

In the interest of time and with a commitment to showcasing the amazing initiatives across our movement, we believe that short videos are an effective way to capture and share the essence of your work.

Introducing the Wikimedia photo library and a workshop invite[edit]
Dear Wikimedia affiliates communications leads,
We are so excited to share a new resource with you: The Wikimedia Photo Library. In it you will find high quality images that help to tell the story of free knowledge. We hope that this library will help you in the important work you do as a communication lead. Alongside this library, we’ve also updated guidelines on how to effectively use imagery to tell brand stories.
Curious to learn more about these resources?
We will be holding a short workshop for 45 minutes on Tuesday 3 October 2023, at 16:00 UTC (add event to your calendar) and again on Thursday 5 October at 7:00 UTC (add event to your calendar) to accommodate different time zones. During these workshops, we will walk you through some examples of images that align with the Movement Brand Guidelines, some basics of quality photography and answer any questions you may have about this topic.
The need for a Wikimedia Photo Library
Our research showed that there are lots of photos available from Wikimedia events, usually featuring people using computers. There were very few images showing mobile editing or reading, and even fewer showing people using the projects in their everyday lives.
These images are the first steps in creating a photo library that is representative of the whole movement. We have added images that are aligned with the Movement Brand Guidelines in this category on Wikimedia Commons. Photography is a powerful tool to create cohesion in Wikimedia communication. Our hope is that all of you will help to build this resource out with images from your region.
By continuing to add to this category, we will be helping one another tell more impactful stories of the free knowledge movement – learn how on the Brand portal on Meta-wiki.
Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions. We hope to see you at one of the workshops!
Best,
Samir and the Brand Studio team --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:53, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
