Your wiki will be in read-only soon
[baguhin]Basahin itong mensahe sa ibang wika • Please help translate to your language
Sinusuri ng Pundasyong Wikimedia ang paglilipat sa pagitan ng mga una at pangalawang sentro ng datos. Sisiguraduhin nito na mananatiling online ang Wikipedia at ang mga iba pang wiki ng Wikimedia kahit pagkatapos ng isang sakuna. Upang matiyak na gumagana ang lahat, kailangang magsagawa ang kagawaran ng Teknolohiya ng Wikimedia ng planadong pagsubok. Ipapakita ng pagsubok kung maaasahang makakapaglipat sila mula sa isang sentro ng datos patungo sa kabila. Nangangailangan ito ng maraming pangkat na maghanda para sa pagsubok at maging presente para mag-ayos ng mga anumang di-inaasahang problema.
Ililipat nila ang lahat ng trapiko pabalik sa pangunahing sentro ng datos sa 26 Abril. Magsisimula ang pagsubok sa 14:00 UTC.
Nakalulungkot, dahil sa mga limitasyon sa MediaWiki, dapat huminto ang lahat ng pagbabago habang nagaganap ang paglilipat. Humihingi kami ng paumanhin para sa pagkagambalang ito, at sinisikap naming mabawasan ito sa hinaharap.
Makakapagbasa ka, ngunit hindi makakapagbago, ng lahat ng mga wiki sa loob lamang ng maikling panahon.
- Hindi ka makakapagbago ng hanggang sa isang oras sa Miyerkules 26 Abril 2023.
- Kung susubukin mong magbago o maglagak sa mga oras na ito, makakikita ka ng mensahe ng kamalian. Inaasahan namin na walang mawawala na pagbabago sa mga minutong ito, ngunit hindi namin magagarantiyahan ito. Kung nakikita mo ang mensahe ng kamalian, mangyaring maghintay hanggang bumalik sa normal na ang lahat. Pagkatapos, dapat mailalagak mo na ang iyong pagbabago. Subalit, inirerekomenda namin na gumawa ka ng kopya ng iyong mga pagbabago muna, kung sakali man.
Mga ibang epekto:
- Babagal ang mga background job at maaaring tanggalin ang ilan. Maaaring hindi maisasapanahon ang mga pulang kawing ng kasimbilis ng normal. Kung maglilikha ka ng artikulo na nakakawing na sa ibang lugar, mas matagal na mananatiling pula ang kawing. Kailangang pahintuin ang mga ilang pangmatagalang iskrip.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
Wikimedia Foundation’s 2023-2024 Annual Plan and Upcoming Community Conversations
[baguhin]The main purpose of this message is to share with you the draft annual plan of the Wikimedia Foundation for the coming fiscal year from July 2023 to June 2024. The summary of the annual plan is available in multiple languages.
Some Excerpts from the Annual Plan Draft
The Wikimedia Foundation has remained in a period of transition. It welcomed new leadership last year, including a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product and Technology Officer. Additionally, the Foundation has navigated conversations with global communities on a range of important issues, from a future charter defining roles and responsibilities, to how we raise shared resources through banner fundraising. This year's Annual Plan attempts to provide more clarity on multi-year strategic issues that do not have quick fixes, and more detailed information on how the Foundation operates.
For the second consecutive year, the Wikimedia Foundation is anchoring its annual plan in the movement's strategy to advance equity. The intention is to connect the Foundation's work even more deeply with the Movement Strategy Recommendations to make even deeper progress towards the 2030 Strategic Direction. This year, the Foundation is recentering its plan around Product and Technology, emphasizing our unique role as a platform for people and communities collaborating on a massive scale. If you are interested to learn more, you can find detailed information on this meta page.
Requesting Your Feedback
Your feedback is highly appreciated, whether being on Meta discussion page or sharing at your local discussion space. Your comments and reflections will help improve the proposal before the Foundation’s Board of Trustees considers the plan and budget in their June meeting.
Community Conversations
Everyone is also invited to participate in the virtual conversation on 30th April 2023 at 6am UTC (check your local time here), which is planned for participants from the Asia Pacific timezone. Kindly see the Diff calendar here. Lisa Seitz Gruwell, Chief Advancement Officer and Deputy to the Chief Executive Officer will be joining the call to share more and learn about your thoughts. You can find the information relating to virtual conversations on the collaboration page. We look forward to seeing you in the upcoming conversation!
Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process
[baguhin]
Hello,
As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
- Community members in good standing
- Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
- Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
- Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
- Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
- Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject
wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.
