Background
WikiWomenCamp
began
as
the
idea
of
holding
a
meeting
with
the
intention
of
opening
opportunities
for
women
(both
biologically
based
on
their
gender
or
preferred
sex)
to
come
together,
learn
from
other
women's
experiences,
and
to
network
and
meet
interface
so
that
they
can
achieve
their
goals
and
share
the
passion
and
effort
as
a
“wiki
ohana”.
The
event
is
also
intended
as
a
forum
for
discussion
to
meet
other
individual
with
similar
effort
and
share
problems
and
solutions
that
can
be
implemented.
The
conference
was
held
to
discussed
the
challenges
women
face
in
contributing
to
the
movement
of
"Free
Knowledge"
and
try
to
identify
possible
opportunity
for
women
in
order
that
they
can
actively
support
the
dissemination
of
knowledge.
Sharing
successful
strategies
in
conducting
outreach
in
different
countries
and
getting
to
know
each
other.
Eighteen
women
from
various
countries
eventually
participated
in
WikiWomenCamp.
Organizers
believe
that
the
diverse
participants
need
to
have
an
open
mind
in
order
to
make
the
conference
successful
and
colaboration
possible.
Participants
are
expected
to
take
an
active
role
in
discussing
and
helping
other
participants
interact
in
groups
if
they
are
having
problems,
and
to
share
personal
experiences.
Because
WikiWomenCamp
is
grassroots
effort,
each
participant
is
solely
responsible
for
making
the
conference
to
be
productive,
lightweight,
and
fun.
This
event
is
open
to
all
women
who
are
involved
in
the
movement

2012
Opening
WikiWomenCamp
first
day,
facilitator
Anne
Goldenberg
(standing
in
the
middle
of
the
circle)
describes
the
concept
of
an
open
conference
Conference
opens
WikiWomenCamp
designed
using
the
concept
of
"open
conference".
The
concept
were
unlike
other
meetings
planned
far
earlier
and
uses
a
fixed
agenda.
On
the
first
day
WikiWomenCamp
the
facilitator,
Anne
Goldenberg
explained
about
the
"open
conference"
concept.
Although
many
things
are
flexible,
but
opens
conference
has
fixed
rules,
such
as;
Whoever
comes
are
the
right
people
Whatever
has
happened
to
be
the
only
event
that
might
happen
The
event
started
when
everyone
was
ready
to
start
The
event
finishes
when
everyone
was
finished
Also
there
are
other
regulations
that
accompanies
changes
of
classes
classes:
the
rule
of
two
feet,
which
means
that
participants
are
allowed
out
to
go
from
a
class
where
s/he
thinks
didn’t
suit
their
need,
and
the
discussion
leader
should
not
protest
when
participants
exit
.
Also
participants
who
are
not
learning
anything,
or
do
not
contribute
to
the
discussion
are
welcome
to
go
and
do
something
else.
Approximately
45
minutes
were
spent
explaining
the
regulation
and
then
proceed
to
discuss
the
agenda
for
the
three-­‐day
conference.
Class
discussion
According
to
statistics,
only
about
10%
of
women
who
participated
becoming
4

5. contributors
to
Wikipedia
and
this
fact
is
likely
to
occur
due
to
factors
related
to
the
community
and
users.
In
addition
to
technical
problems,
information
about
how
to
contribute
–
up
to
recognition
by
Wikipedia
is
still
very
limited.
New
users
need
specific
training
and
guidance
to
start
editing
and
overcome
discomfort.
It
is
identify
that
there
is
a
need
to
make
an
active
new
user
to
feel
welcome
to
the
community.
Another
factor
that
led
to
the
low
participation
of
women
in
Wikipedia
is
a
limited
time
to
volunteer.
Women
tend
to
be
less
confident
in
arguing
against
the
articles
they
write,
and
the
main
thing
is
women
should
know
clearly
why
they
need
to
contribute
to
Wikipedia.
Siska
Doviana
of
Wikimedia
Indonesia
demonstrate
the
utility
of
reading
Wikipedia
statistics
for
measuring
project
success
and
publicity
efforts.
Ability
to
read
statistics
is
like
seeing
the
number
of
readers,
ranking
Wikipedia,
and
Wikipedia
fluctuations
or
the
developments
in
various
languages
to
help
the
mainstream
media
journalists
write
their
stories
in
more
exciting
because
accurate
data.
However,
input
from
Russia,
are
the
statistics
that
show
the
factual
data
that
a
wiki
/
community
does
not
operate
with
a
level
above
average
unattractive
to
be
reported
to
the
media,
because
you
will
have
a
bad
effect
on
the
news
reader.
Wikimedia
Indonesia
explained
that
for
the
important
data
to
be
accurate
at
the
media,
not
"cool",
but
Russia
still
think
the
data
should
be
given
a
"cool"
thing,
not
bad.
Participants
from
India
and
Spayol
interested
to
know
more
about
how
statistics
become
one
of
the
means
to
see
the
success
of
a
writing
competition
and
the
results
obtained
showed
that
women
dominate
the
top
five
ranking
in
all
competitions
ever
held.

6. Day
Two,
May
24,
2012
Participants
discussion
on
the
second
day
WikiWomenCamp
Volunteers
from
Cambodia
lead
a
class
about
how
to
organize
a
successful
community
event.
The
explanation
includes
Southeast
Asia:
organizing
a
pre-­‐
event
for
the
promotion
and
outreach
to
the
community,
to
share
responsibility
during
the
event
and
post-­‐event
activities
to
evaluate
the
difficulties
and
lessons
learned
from
the
implementation
of
an
event.
The
use
of
Wiki
for
project
management
has
been
implemented
in
Indonesia
via
Wikimedia
Cipta
project.
Steps
needed
include:
budgeting
funds
for
major
infrastructure,
training
volunteers
who
will
implement
the
project,
implement
the
program,
and
prepare
the
final
report.
Many
questions
regarding
the
use
of
grant
funds
and
its
reciepient,
including:
"What
if
the
funds
are
administered
and
the
recipient
run
with
the
project
money?”
India
expressed
interest
to
conduct
competitions
in
the
language
of
Kerala,
and
WMID
will
evaluate
the
possibility
of
training
for
India
volunteer
in
Jakarta
for
a
replication
project.
A
lecturer
in
digital
art
and
photography
in
a
college
Argentina
using
Wikipedia
as
a
medium
of
education.
He
gave
the
task
of
researching
a
particular
topic
to
the
students
and
the
results
were
presented
to
the
class.
A
summary
of
the
research
included
Spanish
Wikipedia
within
3
months.
Students
who
are
new
to
directly
interact
with
the
Wikipedia
community
and
also
mentored
by
the
technically
lecturer.
The
participants
discussed
about
the
harassment
or
threat
they
received
and
experienced
on
Wikipedia.
One
of
the
participant
attempted
to
neutralize
an
6

7. article
about
feminism
or
women's
rights
written
with
bias,.
She
realize
that
there
are
barriers
and
challenges
experienced
by
women
in
their
daily
lives
for
contributing.
Even
in
Argentina
which
has
a
woman
president,
the
issue
of
gender
inequality
is
not
the
agenda
of
the
government
so
that
there
are
many
women
who
are
sexually
abused
and
±
500
000
women
/
year
die
from
illegal
abortions.
In
South
Africa,
even
if
a
woman
has
a
successful
personal
life
or
great
power
in
public,
but
once
back
in
the
house,
they
only
have
a
weak
position.
Women
with
a
deviant
sexual
orientation
(lesbian)
is
also
highly
discriminated
against
to
have
abused
and
even
killed
because
of
their
sexual
preference.
While
the
gays
more
likely
to
be
tolerated
and
accepted
by
the
public.
Third
Day,
May
25,
2012
Participants
including
Sue
Gardner
(WMF
Executive
Director)
posed
for
an
Argentine
newspaper
Galleries,
Libraries,
Archives,
and
Museums
(GLAM),
and
Wikimedia
Love
Monument
(WLM),
is
a
project
that
is
usually
is
done
by
collaborating
with
the
relevant
institutions
to
produce
content
that
can
be
accessed
and
used
freely,
including
free
of
charge
to
the
public.
Volunteers
from
Russia
and
Spain
shared
their
experiences
in
organizing
a
photo
competition
Wikimedia
Love
monument
with
a
total
18,000
photos
in
Russia
in
Spain
collected
by
the
participants.
Some
of
the
participants
still
contribute
at
Wikimedia
Commons
even
though
the
competition
has
ended.
They
identify
that
part
of
difficult
process
in
the
competition
that
can
reduce
the
desire
to
participate
is
the
difficulty
to
upload
images
to
the
Commons
and
copyright
issues
that
preclude
the
publication
of
a
7

8. picture
of
the
work
of
the
participants.
Not
only
that,
dealing
with
the
jury
photos
also
are
not
easy,
many
times
volunteers
who
become
committee
should
contact
the
jury
to
remind
them
to
do
their
job
on
time.
In
Spain
other
obstacles
in
Wiki
Loves
Monument
project
include
participants
that
aren’t
aligned
with
the
theme.
This
includes
unrelated
photos
such
as
sunbathing
in
a
beach
and
wrote
a
statement
that
the
beach
is
within
walking
distance
of
historic
buildings,
and
many
others.
In
Russia,
winner
of
the
photo
is
not
the
best
photo,
but
instead
of
a
picture
of
a
one
a
very
historical
monument
that
now
crumbling
down.
The
jury
decided
to
award
that
with
the
goal
to
remind
the
public
and
the
government
to
preserve
the
monument.
Several
other
challenges
were
also
identified
is
in
determining
the
prize,
according
to
Spain
prize
should
be
a
fun
gift
gifts
such
as
travel
incentive
and
stay
at
the
hotel,
they
have
been
doing
gift
for
nerds
like
computers
and
electronic
devices.
While
Russia
has
a
funny
experience
on
the
prize,
the
winner
get
tickets
for
air
travel
but
they
forgot
to
fund
for
the
road
trip,
there
are
other
times
volunteers
also
forgot
element
of
travelling
cost
included
in
the
prize.
A
session
is
brought
to
document
women
in
relation
to
the
movement
of
"Free
Knowledge"
and
Wiki
in
various
countries
will
be
printed
in
Indonesia
with

information
about
a
country,
community,
local
associations,
and
the
role
of
women
behind
it,
an
invitation
to
join
the
community,
and
the
images
of
women
who
are
active
in
the
project
Wiki.
WikiWomenCamp

is
planned
to
be
held

is
an
opportunity
to

that
are
inexpensive
and
can
be
made
(worth
about
U.S.
$
500)
for

and
in
Spain.
She
proposes
that
the

will
try
to
explore
this
possibility
by
introducing
women
