− | == Programs == |
||
− | ==== Institutional partnerships and public editing events ==== |
||
− | Wikimedia DC continues to hold collaborative editing events (editathons), which is our main institutional partnership program activity. Most of these are public events organized by our staff, and we present Wikipedia training. Often the partner organization also makes a presentation at the event. Most of these events were held online, not in person. |
||
− | |||
− | During the 2021–22 fiscal year, Wikimedia DC run or supported 22 events in partnership with 18 institutional partners, which included a broad spectrum of cultural, academic, and government institutions, and non-governmental organizations listed below: |

− | ==== Research projects ==== |
||
− | Wikimedia DC has been invited to participate in research and development efforts, and research-related grants now form a sizable part of our activity. We are working with Hacks/Hackers to develop software that will help evaluate the reliability and quality of English Wikipedia articles related to vaccines, and then to use information on reliable sources generally to support good information on social media. We have had past success in software development, having co-sponsored the effort to create the Wiki Art Depiction Explorer. We expect this line of activity to continue in the future and to represent a sizable portion of our funding. |
||
− | |||
− | ==== Conferences and workshops ==== |
||
− | Wikimedia DC partnered with other WMF affiliates to run WikiConference North America 2021 in October, 2021. Over 200 people attended online, and many sessions were broadcast in both English and Spanish. Wikimedia DC was the fiscal sponsor of the event and wrote most of the final report. We planned a similar conference for late 2022. The event was funded mainly by a grant from the WMF. |
||
− | |||
− | Wikimedia DC organized judges and sponsored prizes for the photos in the Wiki Science Competition. ''(Should we show photos here?)'' |
||
− | |||
− | We helped arrange Wikimedia Hackathon days (around May 21) and a Pittsburgh Wikimania meetup in person (circa Aug 11). |
||
− | |||
− | ==Organizational development== |
||
− | Wikimedia DC changed of officers in January, after last fall's Board elections. Longtime president Kirill Lokshin, who understood all our systems, has moved on. Peter Meyer is now the president, John Sadowski vice president, Diane Shaw secretary, and Sara Snyder treasurer. The new officers have been learning their roles and systems. Our Institutional Partnership Manger, Ariel Cetrone, continues in her position. The Wikimedia DC Board of Directors held six [[Meetings (2022%E2%80%932023)|meetings]] during the 2021–22 fiscal year, on [[Media:Wikimedia DC Board - 2020-10-31 - Minutes.pdf|November 15, 2021]]; [[Media:WMDC minutes 012322 - final.pdf|January 23, 2022]]; [[Media:WMDC-minutes-2022-0207.pdf|February 7, 2022]]; [[Media:WMDC-minutes-2022-0516.pdf|May 16, 2022]]; [[Media:WMDC-minutes-2022-0718.pdf|July 18, 2022]]; and September 26, 2022. |

− | The chapter had fallen behind on tax filings, and has now caught back up. The annual tax forms (Form 990-EZs) are on our web site. The chapter had to re-file for it tax-deductible status, and has regained it. Member donations remain tax-deductible from U.S. federal taxes as before. |
