This update, which has been a long-time request from the Commons community, will make it much easier to view, search, edit, organize and re-use Commons files, and will turn Commons in a truly multilingual resource. Further, this update will dramatically improve the way in which volunteers and affiliates can partner with cultural institutions (GLAMs), bringing profound changes to upload processes and metrics, and adding entirely new features and possibilities for further tooling (such as better tools for crowdsourcing, and 'live' synchronization between GLAM databases and Commons).","facilitator_array":["Sandra Fauconnier","Pam Drouin","Liam Wyatt"],"facilitators":"Sandra Fauconnier, Pam Drouin, Liam Wyatt","location":"Britz","pathways":"","scheduleblock":"friday-session-block-2","space":"Capacity Building & Learning Track","start":"13:30","end":"15:45","notes url":"https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Program/47","programmatic":"true"},{"id":"400","day":"Friday","title":"Community Capacity Map workshop","description":"he Wikimedia Foundation recently started a self-assessment exercise to map around 40 different capacities across all communities, user groups, and chapters.

We will distill the main lessons learned and apply them to core questions of the Wikimedia Movement and the Movement Strategy: How can we attract new contributors and retain experienced contributors from diverse backgrounds?

Wikipedia and its sister projects contribute to digital equity in education while at the same time, educators and students are contributing to knowledge equity. By fostering the relationship between the Wikimedia movement and education, we can create a world where everyone not only has access to knowledge, but has the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century.\nConsidering a shared understanding of the Wikimedia movement, this workshop will provide participants with resources to engage educators with our movement, and how it is working to close gaps in digital equality, knowledge equity, and even the gender divide. Using a Wiki page created especially for this workshop, participants will engage with the five dimensions of digital equity[1] to interpret a case study about a Wikipedia education project. By the end of this workshop participants will gain a broad understanding of digital equity challenges in education at the global level.

Ideally, we will then end up with a collection of possibilities and strategies for non-paid volunteer supporters.","facilitator_array":["Veronika Krämer","Raimund Liebert","Rémy Gerbet"],"facilitators":"Veronika Krämer, Raimund Liebert, Rémy Gerbet","location":"Schulenburg","pathways":"","scheduleblock":"sunday-session-block-1","space":"Capacity Building & Learning Track","start":"12:00","end":"13:00","notes url":"https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Program/49","programmatic":"true"},{"id":"930","day":"Sunday","title":"Lunch","description":"Enjoy your lunch!","facilitator_array":"","facilitators":"","location":"Restaurant","pathways":"","scheduleblock":"sunday-lunch","space":"","start":"13:00","end":"14:00","notes url":"","programmatic":"true"},{"id":"080","day":"Sunday","title":"Getting To Work II","description":"","facilitator_array":["Bhavesh Patel","Luís Manuel Pinto","Rob Lancaster"],"facilitators":"Bhavesh Patel, Luís Manuel Pinto, Rob Lancaster","location":"Kindl 1+2","pathways":"","scheduleblock":"sunday-session-block-2","space":"Movement Strategy","start":"14:00","end":"15:30","notes url":"https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Program#Track_#1:_Movement_Strategy_(preliminary_first_draft)","programmatic":"true"},{"id":"150","day":"Sunday","title":"Peer-consultation clinic: Bring your partnership challenges or questions!","description":"Many people in our movement work with partners.
