General budget and logical model

edit

Infrastructure and staff

edit

CONTEXT: After three years of existence of the UG Wikimedia Community in Brazil", the creation of an initial infrastructure seems to us not only something legitimate, but necessary for the maintenance and expansion of our activities. The rent of a place that can safely and securely house materials we have accumulated over the years as a user group, a small workplace and a place where we can meet other organizations and / or strategic partners, or even for the execution of small activities seems rather reasonable. The idea is obviously to maintain a lean structure that is consistent with a first step towards incorporation. Regarding the question of a possible contracted team, although we recognize the existence of chapters and user groups that do not have paid staff, the Brazilian socioeconomic conditions combined with the bureaucratic state that makes the execution of simple tasks even more difficult and time consuming makes us believe that the presence of at least one person dedicated and paid to the work of the user group is an important point. Finally, we know our planning should include expenses related to the travelling and participation on events such as the Wikimedia Conference, as well as the preparation of an annual activity report that can demonstrate the transparency, effectiveness and efficiency of the group.

OBJECTIVES: to create a minimum operational infrastructure with a physical space and a person dedicated to the tasks of the user group.

GOALS: a year of rent, furniture and a person dedicated to the activities of the user group, to provide necessary scholarships to conferences and annual report of activities.

Item / Description Total cost (US$) Notes
Annual rent and furniture expenses USD 11.290,00
1 person (30 hours per week + annual labor charges, which almost double the salary costs) USD 31.290,00
Local travel, Wikimania and WM Conference USD 4.838,00

Content and community

edit

CONTEXT: Although an affiliate organization (AO) is not the representative of the Wikimedia movement, it must be a true part of this movement, with long time and active members and channels to dialogue with this community at all times. A good and healthy relationship with the other members of the Wikimedia movement (remembering, of course, that all members of this user group are part of this community) is a condition not only desirable but crucial to the smooth running of the activities. Thus, in this APG we think of several lines of activities that seek not only to bring more editors and quality content to the projects, increasing in number and heterogeneity our community, but also allowing the creation and maintenance of channels of communication between the activities of the user group and the existing editor community. In this sense, we aim to structure a series of routine events, as well as special events to be held throughout the year of activities of this APG. In addition, if we talk about of the importance of dialogue with the community, "communication" appears as a determining factor. Thus, we plan core of monthly activities to create, maintain and strengthen these channels of communication. Within the Education Program, we recognize that the use of the extension of education, which will be replaced by the Outreach Dashboard, is crucial to analyze the results of our actions, and therefore we believe that the support to the teachers on how to use these tools is an important point. Last but not least, offer the possibility of microgrants to the general community throughout the year, through an evaluation process on the legitimacy and viability of each request.

OBJECTIVES: To bring new quality content, to promote specific training events for the community of novice and experienced editors, to support the community in general.
