Activities and lessons learned
[edit]Activities
[edit]This page is meant to provide a full report about the implementation of Wikimania Esino Lario and how things were organized and set.

Lessons learned
[edit]- What worked well?
- Working on a specific territory.
- Creating a truly strongly collaborative project. Astonishing fundraising and true engagement of people.
- Creating a programme of 2-3 years around Wikimania.
- Establishing a series of pillars we actually used during the project.
- What didn't work?
- The practical results of the contest Adotta un comune (meant to produce knowledge of Lombardy Region on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects). The initiative was actually not planned, it was very well supported but it was not the best approach to produce content or we were not able to make it work.
- What would you do differently if you planned a similar project?
It is difficult to know how to plan Wikimania Esino Lario (or a similar project) differently. Wikimania Esino Lario was such a complex project that it was not and it could not be a project conceived in a straight-forward way; Wikimania was the result of many different minds who rigorously prepared the project (a very important and indispensable step) but who also fabricated the event while doing it. Only now we know how to increase the electricity, to connect the water line to a tensile structure, which are the technical details of each building of Esino Lario, the names of people working on visa at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at the Consulate of Calcutta... We did not know the things we know now (and now we can use our knowledge for new and different projects); but to make a project similar to Wikimania Esino Lario you can't know it all. Wikimania was a mixture of planning, competences, intelligences, acquisition of knowledge, fights, improvisation, dance, miracle and sunshine.
Learning patterns
[edit]- We can organize Wikimania anywhere we wish to, as long as have enough time and a team of people really committed to the task.
- A conference is not simply a conference: it is a device to leverage in a specific territory or country open knowledge and an active understanding of the Wikimedia projects.

Global Metrics
[edit]We are trying to understand the overall outcomes of the work being funded across our grantees. In addition to the measures of success for your specific program (in above section), please use the table below to let us know how your project contributed to the Global Metrics. We know that not all projects will have results for each type of metric, so feel free to put "0" where necessary.
- Next to each required metric, list the actual outcome achieved through this project.
- Where necessary, explain the context behind your outcome. For example, if you were funded for an edit-a-thon which resulted in 0 new images, your explanation might be "This project focused solely on participation and articles written/improved, the goal was not to collect images."
For more information and a sample, see Global Metrics.
Metric | Achieved outcome | Explanation |
1. # of active editors involved | 700 | Please note that the number is an estimation based on the tribal nature of Wikimania (it is essentially a gathering for people already active in the Wikimedia movement). Below the information we have:
|
2. # of new editors | 20 | All volunteers contributing to Wikimania has released the content they produce for Wikimania (texts and photo) under cc by-sa and we made uploads of images and content produced by Paolo Boncompagni, Pier Carlo Barindelli, Guido Barindelli, Serena Nasazzi, Michele Casanova, Catherine de Senarclens, Carlo Maria Pensa, Vincent Plisson, GianClaudio Ferraroli, Simone Sala.

3. # of individuals involved |

Learning question: Did your work increase the motivation of contributors, and how do you know?
According to the survey 324 people out of 361 answered that they are planning at least a new project or collaboration in the next 6 months that will involve people they met at Wikimania Esino Lario.
According to the follow up of the project we have the impression that Wikimania has increased the motivation of contributors
- An Italian gathering of Wikimedia editors was immediately conceived and it is under evaluation. The gathering involves 2 very active volunteers of WIkimania.
- Volunteers of Wikimania without previous experiences in the Wikimedia community have been involved in the selection phase of Wiki Loves Monuments with great enthusiasm.
- The Wikimania programme is continuing until May 2017 (and we are asking an extension) with a very intense programme of initiatives related to open knowledge, freedom of panoramme, acquisition of skills and production of content related to the Lombardy Regione on the Wikimedia projects.
Impact
[edit]What impact did this project have on WMF's mission and the strategic priorities?
Option A: How did you increase participation in one or more Wikimedia projects?
Wikimania is the main event related to the Wikimedia projects. Indeed participating in Wikimania means participating in a Wikimedia project.
Wikimania Esino Lario had worked in two directions:
- focus for 5 days on the international community attending the event (with a programme in English) by:
- involving active editors,
- reaching potential new editors,
- addressing topics related to the community,
- activating diabetes
- supporting the planning of projects and the design of new projects
- focus for two years on a local and national audience (in Italian) by:
- collaborating with Wikimedia Italia, supporting and organizing activities of outreach (presentations, training, a communication campaign in libraries, Youth Hackathon, Wiki Loves Monuments) in the Lombardy Region and Ticino,
- increasing the visibility of the Wikimedia projects with the visibility of Wikimania on the press
- using Wikimania to bring attention to the issue of Italian cultural heritage on the Wikimedia projects.
Option B: How did you improve quality on one or more Wikimedia projects?
Option C: How did you increase the reach (readership) of one or more Wikimedia projects?
