I am James Hare, the President of Wikimedia DC. I have served on the Board of Directors since May 7, 2011 and as President since March 9, 2013.

In the manner of my colleague User:Econterms I will use this page to take notes about my Wikimedia DC activity.

Diary

  • January 21, 2014: Today I was a guest lecturer in Andrew Lih's class, where I discussed Wikimedia DC activity and Wikimedia Commons. The Tech Programs Committee meeting is postponed to tomorrow. I must determine the best way to hold the meeting; Skype seems better at this point. I need to write my bio for WCUSA and do other maintenance work on its new wiki.
  • January 22, 2014: Our Projects 2014 grant proposal was approved; I took a survey regarding the process. Today I edited the press release for WikiConference USA. It will be posted on Wikimedia DC's website as soon as some finishing touches are added. I confirmed my participation in a roundtable on Wikipedia and public relations (closed to the public) on February 7. I have an edit-a-thon and scan-a-thon scheduled for February; waiting for more information on the edit-a-thon. I should probably announce them in February, after the February 1 event.

Wishlist

  • Communications committee members and corresponding plan
  • Tax exempt status paperwork
  • CRM
  • Strategic plan interviewing process (as first step toward strategic plan)
  • Centralized data collection and storage system (for edit-a-thon data and the like) – perhaps we could use Qualtrics?
  • Fundraising plan
  • Wiki Loves Monuments plan
  • Community outreach and engagement plan (and members for the Community Programs Committee
