Could you make the following updates:

Hi @DDeSouza, adding another request:

Thank you, Leila. I updated the post and I shared with Mako and CR for their review.

Could you please add the table in this doc to a Schedule tab on the website?
Please also add the following to the News section with a link to the Schedule section:

update: we have over 80 people who registered. Schedule is finalized and I will be sending that out next week as part of the advertising efforts.

update: held a Tuesday research session with the team discussing how they imagine the future of the Wikimedia Research Communities. Notes are in the following docuemnts-

Thanks for opening this task, Leila. I am linking a (private) document containing notes I took on things that can be improved or addressed in future rounds. Not everything is urgent or important.

@leila if you don't object, I want to close the sub-tasks and change this to a regular task (ie not an epic) to include all updates on this work here. I think the split in the sub-tasks is a bit unclear since some of the things are happening simultaneously

update: we have 72 registered participants and I continued to advertise. I also reached out to @Cervisiarius to ask him to assist with spreading the word :)

@DDeSouza can we update the call-to-action on the top of the site to "Register for Wiki Workshop 2024" with a link to https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wikiworkshop2024/?

Resolving this since the mediawiki page is indeed updated.
Thank you @Isaac for your work on this!

Some are in the "Twitter" tabs and others aren't. And the same meta-data is included in both sheets, with the "Nomination" sheet having extra columns such as a summary of the research and reason for nominating.

I have finished my part in adding the metadata. Please note there are two tabs- one for the publications gathered from Twitter and another for the nominated papers. Here is a link to the spreadsheet- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1weSvMJNuE0VvfIkDwngFiZ4bJ0kLRJ-svh-JUxeefXY/edit?usp=sharing

everyone's hours are updated and moved over to the new calendar feature. I'm resolving this task now but please reopen if needed.

@leila @mako this is the draft for the blog post announcement (it is also in our shared google drive). The structure is very similar to the Diff post from a couple of years ago and also incorporates the information requested in the description of this task.
In terms of the funded projects- I went off of the decision file you have in the drive, I imagine this is not final so we will need to update the draft according to these decisions.
Let me know what else is needed and I'm happy to upload this to Diff once you give the green light.

Bidding Stage

update: registration site is ready and will go live next Tuesday, April 30 along with communication that registration is open.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Research_Community_Vision_and_Strategy has been deleted.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Research_Community_Mapping is the updated destination for community mapping.
I made a request for https://research.wikimedia.org/foundational.html to be updated.

update: due to other priorities and more urgent tasks, I will pick up this task mid-May.

update: spreadsheet with metadata is in the private WMF-RAY folder. I still need to organize the data of the nominated papers from OpenReview so the spreadsheet will be finalized in the upcoming. Regardless, it is ready to start going over.

Sounds like a plan. I added this to my tasks for next Thursday when I'm back from vacation. I'll start a short draft and share with you both so we can get it on Diff ahead of April 29.

Thank you for taking this on, @Isaac! I think this is a nice improvement for the page.
Would it be possible to add the theme of the showcase to its subpage title so that it reads something like Showcase/2021/01 - Addressing Gender Gaps? Not a big deal if it's not possible, but I think it would help those that prefer skimming vs. using the search functionality since the latter can be a bit confusing sometimes.
Regardless of whether it's possible, I don't think this is a blocker and I like the idea of archiving anything pre-2024 and announcing this in tomorrow's showcase so people are aware.

update: I've prepared the communication plans for registration, as well as the word documents and slides which are relevant at this time. @leila, I'll add this item to one of our coordination meetings to make sure I'm not missing anything.
I expect to be able to finalize many of the skeletons during May, when the Research Track and Hall will be set.

@leila, I think that's a good approach. When we have the last project completed (which could still take a couple months), I'll come back to see if it makes sene to do some post like this, but I will decline this task for now.

@leila Nearly everyone updated their availability and moved over to the new calendar. We're missing just a couple of folks and @Miriam and @XiaoXiao-WMF will be following up with them. I hope to resolve this when I'm back on Sunday :)

Weekly update: none

Weekly update: none on my end, will pick up on Leila's points above next week

Hi @leila. From a bit of testing on my end, I suspect you are right about the appointment slot vs. schedule issue so I reached out to folks to both update their offerings and switch over to avoid the login requirement.
I will come back to this later today/tomorrow to make sure this is done.

update: I still didn't progress with this. I will move it to next quarter and devote time to going over the information and gathering the basics.

Weekly update (missed from last week): awaiting final comments from Leila, after which I will summarize the learnings and open a new task for developing an updated roadmap(s)

Thanks, Leila. I requested deletion for the Meta page of the previous vision and strategy and moved our new mapping under Wikimedia_Research. Additionally, I added this topic to our Research Staff meeting on Wednesday. I will resolve this task in ~1 week when the deletion goes through properly.

@leila I added a basic acknowledgement in the following doc- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E-hkKvUu87cy_tIKInRAmbK5O123Jc5oMzt2Eb0hJXE/edit. When you have time, could you please take a look?

Weekly update: most of the working document is filled out. Will discuss with Leila how to proceed with this next week

Weekly update: shared the working document with the team and scheduled time for review and discussion during next week's Research Session.

I am resolving this task since swag was sent for Q2. Given it only happens on a quarterly basis and is relatively small- I will add it in my personal tasks and not on Phabricator.

Weekly update: I prepared a document to capture the learnings in a direct manner and scheduled calls for next week to discuss this with the researchers on the team.

Nomination process has been launched. Announcement can be found at- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VD-EUrcWQ001j46rGrv-l-40BmwVIIYSAzCZW30XRQ0/edit and the submission venue is- https://openreview.net/group?id=wikimediafoundation.org/Wikimedia/2023/RAY&referrer=%5BHomepage%5D(%2F)#tab-your-consoles.
Deadline is April 18, 2024

@DDeSouza can we update the call-to-action on the top of the site to "Submit your Research Award of the Year nomination!" instead of the current "Follow @WikiResearch"? It should link to the following page- https://openreview.net/group?id=wikimediafoundation.org/Wikimedia/2023/RAY&referrer=%5BHomepage%5D(%2F)#tab-your-consoles. Thanks!

Weekly update: discussed this with Leila and planned how to launch this work. I will aim to gather insights on what was achieved, and what wasn't, in the previous roadmap within the next couple of weeks.

Adding Additional Program Chairs

Remove reviewer access to bidding stage before it opens
For Wiki Workshop, we decided to work with the bidding system. We've set the dates so this stage won't be open before the submission deadline, but reviewers had the option to add bids regardless. In order to fix this, we entered the Wiki Workshop 2024 Research Track Reviewers Bid Invitation and removed the reviewer group from the readers and invitees.

Weekly update: none.

Submission Form Customization

Venue set up information:

@leila I'm on it. Tthe keynote speaker announcement is exciting!

Weekly update:

Thanks @leila and @Cervisiarius.

Both venues have been set up.

@leila @Cervisiarius - We might be a bit late with the proposal review because our meeting with ITS in regards to the technical support for the Hall got postponed. We should have everything ready by the end of this week.

Agree that "black with underline" is easier on the eyes.

The discussion pages have been updated. See example here- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Programs/Wikimedia_Research_Fund/Participation,_Engagement_and_Diversity:_a_study_of_Wiki%E2%80%99s_community_building_%26_integration_practices_in_GLAM_projects

Set up the first venue which will be for the Research Track. Awaiting OpenReview's confirmation in regards to the venue name.
I will change the PC assignment and open a second venue for the Research Hall when the above is complete.

@leila
I've asked Daniel to make the following updates to get things going-

@leila Sure, I can pick this up. I may follow up with you on the process but otherwise I'll keep you updated here on the task.

@leila @Cervisiarius we expect to send you the updated proposal within a week (by January 15).

update: received information from Asaf. I plan to use the quiet week after break to go over the information and share here.
