This video conferencing meetup is a replacement for an in-person meetup. While attending and remaining anonymous is supported by the group, lurking is not supported and will be actively discouraged. All attendees are expected to use their User name as an identifier on the video conference call and to introduce themselves and their interest in joining the call on the chat channel of the call as a minimum. Participation using video and / or voice in addition to Chat is encouraged but not required.
Some members of the group have been the target of cyber bullying in the past and these measures are intended to support creating a safe space for collaboration.
If a new attendee joins the group with video and voice disabled, they will be encouraged to participate by the facilitator, using this script:
If, after an appropriate length of time, the new attendee does not participate by video, voice, or chat, the facilitator of the group will remove the attendee from the video call.
If the new attendee persists in logging in, the group will discuss abandoning the meet up.
The Jitsi video conferencing platform has a chat feature. This is used to share URLs and other commentary while the discussions are occurring. The facilitators may take a copy to help with writing up outcomes from the meeting on the meeting Wikipedia page. Any copies will be deleted once outcomes and notes are completed.
This is a monthly event running every 4 weeks, but double check the Aotearoa New Zealand Online page to confirm.

The committee are preparing for the Annual General Meeting on 7.30pm on 21 May 2024. If you are interested in becoming a committee member there are spaces available. We are still looking for someone who is interested in becoming the secretary of the committee. Please contact me or Christine via Dianne at info@wikimedia.nz for more information and an application form. I'd like to take this time to thank all the committee members that work hard at establishing our strategic priorities, obtain funding, develop policies, manage the money, and organise or contribute to organising events for everyone to participate in. It takes a community to support what we do and I thank everyone in the New Zealand community who work on the myriade of tasks other than content creation. You are all champs.
A reminder that if you're not a member of the Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand incorporated society and you'd like to support the organisers or become one of the committee, please apply to join the society. Here's the google form link to sign up. The subscription is $5 per annum.
The annual performance report for the 2023 calendar year is now essentially complete and ready for submission to the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Once it has been approved by the AGM, it will be filed with Charities Services. There is likely to be a significant under-spend for the 2023/2024 Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) grant year, but we currently expect that WMF will formally agree to WANZ establishing an operational reserve, using the unspent funds from the 2023/24 year. We are currently waiting to hear from WMF about the details and amount of the grant for the 2024/25 year.
Anyone know of or organising any other events or content projects? Note here to let the group know.
Opportunity to say what you’re working on and if you need help to do anything or want anything demonstrated. You can add requests for help here prior to the meeting if you want
