Advice

edit
  • Look closely at Wikimedia CZ -- similar budget range
  • Don’t spend a lot of time on formatting, as long as we have SMART objectives, can link off application. Want to reduce the amount of work to do this

2. Options & Timelines

edit
  • Timelines are established by working backwards from
    • DATE 1: When do we need funding by
    • DATE 2: When absolutely need funding by
  • Takes some time to review annual grant plan
  • Not a lot of experience with rolling applications, new process
  • So possibly quicker turnaround time
  • At least 2 weeks to review proposal
  • WMF needs to have an idea of timeframe
  • Note: Eligibility request will be found on the Talk page of the Plan page
  • Funding options
    • Clarity to get ideas on what we would like to do in our next step
  • Which PEG or APG?
  • We need to do an annual plan either way
    • AfroCROWD will be part of the Annual Grant

MOST TIME CRITICAL

edit
  • $750 funding for AfroCROWD Project Manager -- Winifred said this sounds reasonable
  • Would need a budget for interim budget to get this started
  • Alice will send to Winifred in prep for Feb 6 event at NYPL Schomburg

3. Key action items

edit
TBD, on the call
  • For WMNYC folks, a lot of these links are on the Projects & Grants tab of the WM NYC Meetup namespace

Next steps

edit
  1. Annual plan: Offer to collaborate with Sydney and Winifred   In progress
  2. Timeline: Once dates set, send to Winifred   In progress
  3. Interim funding: Alice will send interim funding for AfroCROWD   In progress
