Report

[edit]

The meeting started on time (18:00 CET) with over 27 participants from the whole CEE Region.

Although this session was planned to be recorded due to our misperception about settings of our Google Meet call, we were not able to record the meeting.

Introduction

Due to the high volume of the participants, only organizers who consisted of two CEE Hub staff (Barbara Klen and Toni Ristovski) and Wikimedia Foundation’s Movement Communications regional specialist (Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska) shortly introduced themselves. Other participants were thereafter invited to present themselves in the chat.

CEE Spring

Short presentation about CEE Spring was given by Toni. Also, some overall statistics about the contest on a global level were discussed, which will be in detail presented in a Diff blog post this week. CEE Spring contest welcomed two new communities (see participants list this year; Aromanian and Western Armenian), therefore others from the CEE Region can write about these small minority communities dispersed throughout the whole CEE Region. Additionally, after many years, we have returnee of Sakha community in the Far East of Russian Federation as a guest community.

Wikimania 2024 Kraków update and Q&A

During the first CEE Catch Up meeting, there was an official announcement that the biggest Wikipedia conference will be held in 2024 in our region, as Krakow submission which was also endorsed by the CEE Hub and many other affiliates from the region, was accepted - next Wikimania 2024 will be held in Krakow, Poland. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz as a project leader of the submission for Wikimania 2024 presented all the details known so far, and also presented to the participants all planned next steps during the process of preparation of this conference.

CEE Meeting update

It is planned that the next CEE Meeting will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia in September 2023, therefor on this meeting we had a chance to hear the latest news and updates from the organizer Mehman Ibragimov. In the moment when conference grant proposal will be approved by Wikimedia Foundation (which is expected to happen by April 2023) organizers will open registration forms for eligible participants from all affiliates in the CEE Region, and they will publish open a call for submissions for lectures, presentations or lightning talks for this regional conference which takes place in our region.

Wiki Loves Earth

Barbara informed participants that CEE Hub, along with the working group from Let's Connect team and International Team from Wikimedia Ukraine, is preparing a session dedicated on knowledge exchange between previous and upcoming organizers of the Wiki Loves Earth campaign which will be held on 13th April, 2023. In the upcoming weeks, CEE Hub will work on defining a list of participants and writing guidelines and we plan to send out the registration form for the upcoming event to all potentially interested communities/individuals.

Other

At the end of the meeting, we had some time to discuss other topics. This time was used to discuss more about Let's Connect network and their events and activities.
