香港維基媒體協會周年研討會2010

HONG KONG July 15, 2010 — On the coming Saturday, Wikimedia Hong Kong will hold her 3rd Anniversary Conference, focus on our Education Toolkits For Liberal Studies, a project funded by the grant from the Wikimedia Foundation.

In the new syllabus of Hong Kong High School, Liberal Studies has been added as the compulsory subject. The Liberal Studies is a subject that requires students to find the information themselves and without the help from teachers as much as possible.

As Wikipedia is the 4th popular website and a major site for user to share and get knowledge for free, it is really necessary for us to teach Hong Kong students how to use Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Projects correctly, to get the information beyond the Wikipedia articles, by clicking to the links in the footnote.

So we would like to create a set of toolkits for secondary schools students, to promote Wikimedia to secondary school students in Hong Kong, and to encourage them to share their knowledge to Wikimedia projects eventually.

Details of the Conference
Date： Saturday, 17 July, 2010
Time：11:00 – 13:00
Location： Rm 103, Duke of Windsor Social Services Building, Wan Chai
Language： Cantonese
Speakers:

Every anniversary of the chapter’s establishment 3 years ago, Wikimedia Hong Kong held anniversary conference to review and plan our effort on promoting Wikimedia and free culture movement.

香港- 本會於2007年7月成立，至今快將三年，故是次特意舉辦週年紀念慶祝活動，以回顧在三年來本會對於在香港致力宣揚自由文化和提升各維基媒體計劃於香港之實用和知名度所作出之努力，且於研討會中討論未來的計劃進程及本會往後之目標，尤其是近日獲基金會撥款資助，現時由本會設計中的通識科教育資源套裝。

因應特區政府近年推行之新「三三四教育」中，對於新設通識科目並以此作為必修科目的新政策，本會為希望能讓修讀通識科之學生更容易，有效率和正確地使用維基百科和各維基媒體計劃的資源作為其中一個於進行資料搜集和分析的其中一個資料來源，故此特意設計此教材套裝。此套裝將會介紹一般使用維基百科之正確用法和注意事項，並且希望藉此提升學生對自由文化的意識和使用，貢獻及分享維基百科的興趣。

基金會宣佈陳霆出任理事會主席

Gdańsk, Poland July 8, 2010 — Today, at the sixth annual Wikimania Conference, the Wikimedia Foundation announced important changes to the Board of Trustees.

Every year at Wikimania, the Wikimedia Board appoints its officers for the coming year. This year, Ting Chen was appointed Chair of the Board, Stuart West was appointed Vice-chair (and continues as Board Treasurer), and Samuel Klein becomes Board Secretary.

Also, the Wikimedia chapters have made their selections for the two chapters-selected Board seats. Arne Klempert has been reappointed, and Phoebe Ayers has been newly appointed. This means that Michael Snow will be leaving the Board: he has been invited to join the Advisory Board, and the Board warmly thanks him for his years of leadership and service.

“Michael has been a loyal and devoted leader in the Wikimedia movement. I am grateful to count him as a colleague and a friend, and I know he will continue to make important contributions,” said Ting Chen. “I am also pleased to welcome Phoebe Ayers, on behalf of the entire Board. And I am humbled and honored to have been selected as the Board Chair.”

There are 10 seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees and according to the Foundation’s bylaws, three members are elected by the Wikimedia community, two are selected by the Wikimedia chapters, the Founder seat is held by Jimmy Wales, and four members are appointed by the Board itself to provide additional, specific expertise. Currently all seats on the Board of Trustees are filled.
