acting Executive Director of Wikimedia Europe

[Wikimedia Foundation Policy @wikimediapolicy]

Last week, @WikimediaDE brought +30 people working on different aspects of the EU DSA together.

@a2na moderated a lively discussion on @Wikipedia designation as a "Very Large Online Platform" (VLOP) with Armin Jungbluth (@BMDV), @JJaursch (@SNV_Berlin), and @RMacK.

Many thanks!

[Anna Mazgal @a2na]

Does you work make your heart full? Mine does. The first GA of #WikimediaEurope gave our team what @cameliaboban said: a sense of belonging. And so so many good conversations. And new Czech members of the Cuteness Association! Hashtag krtecek 😍

Après une belle une ceremonie d'ouverture hier soir, début aujourd'hui des différentes sessions concernant #WikimediaEurope. On va discuter fundraising, stratégie, collaboration entre affiliés en Europe. Superbe journée en perspective !! #goodbyeFKAGEU @Wikimedia_Fr @WikiFranca

[Camelia Boban @cameliaboban]

What was the best thing in this #WikimediaEurope 1° assembly (besides the magnificent #Prague) and wonderful human beings? I would say the sense of belonging. No more Chapters, UGs, ThOrgs, small or big affiliates, but a common house for all. Long life to #WMEU @a2na @dimi_z

[Rémy Gerbet @Remy_WMFr]

Début de la premiere Assemblée generale de #WikimediaEurope. Si fier du travail réalisé l'année derniere pour bâtir ce nouvel acteur clé du mouvement Wikimedia piloté par des personnes de grande valeur comme @ClaudiaGarad et @a2na #GoodbyeFKAGEU @Wikimedia_Fr

“Unintended consequences of open”, “communing practices”, “permaculture of open” — these many beautiful (and SPOT ON!) phrases should not go unnoticed @a2na 😍

@alicjapeas ❤️

[Alek Tarkowski @atarkowski]

Also, thanks to @a2na for her thoughts on "permaculture of open", and @paul_keller for insights about how #ShareAlike requirement might be breaking in #AI life cycles

[OpenFuture @OpenFutureEU]

#WikiAI is a vision of an ecosystem where the practice of sharing is as important as contributions ♻️ @a2na calls this “permaculture of open”. Properly governed, #AI systems can support peer production and knowledge sharing instead of exploiting it.

Super exctited to join! 😊

[The Information Society Project @yaleisp]

We’re kicking off with our daylong closed-door “Democratic Regulation of AI” workshop!

Organized by @YaleISP_WIII

[Anna Mazgal @a2na]

@QueeringW have a great Office Hours launch, Friends! 💖

[Anna Mazgal @a2na]

@atarkowski @OpenFutureEU My first thought was #AICommons as well, then with all the power grab of data, secrecy & private capture with no social return by so many market players I see this appropriated by the dark side of the force too easily 🤔 #AI4people ? Extension of internet is for the people...

[Anna Mazgal @a2na]

@GALA_JUICE @DLR_de @DLR_en @DLR_SpaceAgency @ISAS_JAXA @juice_japan @ESA_JUICE @unibern @iaa_csic any chance the results find their way to @WikiCommons ? 🙂

Every capitalist conquest initiates a Rube Goldberg machine of racialised misery and exploitation.

@wikimedia_ua @rmack @Wikimedia_CR @PiratKolaja For those who couldn't attend our event with @PiratKolaja, @antonprotsyuk published a great article detailing how the @Wikipedia community in #Ukraine works against #disinformation. Read, get inspired & support Ukraine & Wikipedians 💖 cc @wikimediapolicy

Ukrainian society is heroically resilient. Wikipedians are on the frontline ensuring that the full-scale invasion into Ukraine is well represented with facts. It was an honour and a privilege to facilitate this discussion today, @wikimedia_ua @rmack @Wikimedia_CR @PiratKolaja

[Wikimedia Foundation Policy @wikimediapolicy]

Today @Wikimedia_CR and @wikimedia_ua presented at the European Parliament. Here's what stood out:

1⃣"Producing information is, and always has been, a political act. So is speaking truth to power" @a2na
2⃣"@Wikimedia is one of the marvels of the modern world"@PiratKolaja

[Anna Mazgal @a2na]

OMFG people!!! 😡
