| Pertanyaan wajib | ||
| Mengapa Anda ingin menjadi bagian dari Dewan Pengawas, Yayasan Wikimedia? Sumbangsih apa yang akan Anda lakukan? Hal apa saja yang ingin Anda pelajari lebih lanjut? | Saya mengenal dunia Wikimedia sebagai kontributor sukarela dan saya jatuh cinta kepadanya. Saya pernah menjadi pegawai Yayasan Wikimedia dan merupakan salah satu pengalaman kerja yang paling menyenangkan. Saya ingin menjelajahi tempat terbaik di dunia maya ini lebih lanjut lagi dengan membawa semua hal yang sudah dipelajari sebelumnya (dan yang sedang dipelajari) dalam peran saya sebelumnya. Kemudian membawanya ke tingkat selanjutnya yang saya lihat cukup menantang, tetapi juga berguna pada saat yang sama. Dunia Wikimedia telah memberikan saya banyak hadiah menakjubkan, mulai dari pengetahuan, pertemanan, ilham, dan memori bahagia. Harapannya saya bisa memberikan kembali apa yang sudah didapatkan dengan peran sebagai Dewan Pengawas. Namun, saya juga berharap untuk mendapatkan pengetahuan, ilham, dan juga banyak hal ini dalam peran ini, bila kalian mengamanahkan saya menjadi anggota Dewan Pengawas. | |
| Mohon uraikan pengalaman ke-Wikimedia-an Anda, misalnya sumbangsih pada proyek Wikimedia, keanggotaan dalam organisasi mitra lokal Wikimedia, kegiatan yang dilakukan sebagai penyelenggara kegiatan di Wikimedia, atau keikutsertaan pada organisasi sekutu Gerakan Wikimedia. | Saya mulai menyunting di Wikipedia bahasa Jerman (WPDE) semenjak 2014 dengan tujuan untuk menambahkan pengetahuan tentang puisi kontemporer. Saya segera tertarik dengan komunitas di balik layar Wikipedia. Mula-mula, saya menghadiri pertemuan setempat, kemudian ikut melanglang buana ke pertemuan tingkat dunia. Dalam acara tersebut, saya mempelajari banyak hal baru dan juga bertemua dengan banyak orang yang luar biasa. Hal tersebut memotivasi saya untuk bersumbangsih lebih banyak dan dengan cara yang lebih berbeda. Saya menjadi administrator di Wikipedia bahasa Jerman sekitar 3,5 tahun.
Di proyek Wikipedia itu, saya berperan aktif dalam diskusi komunitas tentang tata perilaku. Saya juga menyumbangkan konten di WPDE tentang berbagai macam topik mulai dari situs arkeologi di Tunisia hingga tentang peralatan dapur. Fokus utama saya perlahan bergeser dari topik sastra ke biografi perempuan dan tokoh dari kelompok terpinggirkan. Sekarang, saya menjadi bagian dari FemNetz, sekelompok perempuan yang ingin memajukan isu kesetaraan gender di WPDE. Saya juga mulai menjelajahi proyek Wiki lain dan versi bahasa lainnya, dan akhirnya menemukan tumbuhnya rasa cinta saya untuk proyek Commons. Saat ini, saya menghabiskan waktu untuk berkutat dalam proyek tersebut. Mulai dari mengunggah karya sendiri, membantu mengategorikan berkas sumbangan, dan juga berkas yang diunggah melalui programkampanye internasional, hingga ikut serta dalam proses pemilihan Gambar Pilihan dan Tantangan Fotografi. Sejauh ini, jumlah suntingan saya sudah lebih dari 102.000. Saya juga pernah berkontribusi pada gerakan ini dalam kapasitas profesional. Pertama, sebagai salah satu pegawai di Tim Kepercayaan & Keamanan, kemudian sebagai salah satu pegawai di Tim Pengembangan Komunitas. Pekerjaan yang saya lakukan telah memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang tantangan dan kadang kala bahaya yang harus dihadapi sebagian dari kita sebagai akibat dari hasil sumbangan ke Wikipedia, walaupun dengan niat baik, tetapi ternyata yang tidak disukai oleh pihak luar. Saya juga mendapat wawasan menarik tentang cara kerja komunitas yang sangat berbeda di seluruh dunia, terutama saat kami melakukan penelitian untuk Kode Etik Universal. Saya juga banyak belajar tentang cara komunitas unik dan tercinta yang terdiri dari sekumpulan orang asing ini mau bekerja sama dan mengembangkan strategi daya tanggulang yang sungguh luar biasa. | |
| Menurut pandangan Anda, hal-hal apa saja yang harus Yayasan Wikimedia diutamakan selama jangka waktu 5-10 tahun yang akan datang? Mengapa Anda merasa bahwa hal tersebut harus diutamakan? | Prioritas utama tentunya dengan mengatasi kekurangan teknis yang terus bertambah dan menjadikan Dunia Wiki (khususnya Commons) bisa terus menyesuaikan diri dengan teknologi masa depan. Kita terancam kehilangan hubungan dengan sebagian besar pengguna internet. Prioritas utama lainnya adalah mengembangkan kemampuan secara lebih jauh untuk melawan serangan berita palsu dan disinformasi, karena setiap harinya, AI telah membuat persebaran berita palsu serta ditambah dengan gambar yang meyakinkan semakin mudah.
For me however the main priority should be attracting more contributors from places around the world or niches in society that we have not reached so far. If we want to stay relevant, we need knowledge on our platform that is missing elsewhere - and often the people who hold this knowledge are not to be found in Europe or North America. If they are, they are not in the typical demography of the community as it is. Along with this we need to expand our ability to protect contributors to our platforms from harassment, unprovoked legal threats and similar dangers. So further developing the Human Rights capacity of the Foundation for me is also high on the lists of priorities. | |
| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | I have been on the boards of several smallish non-profit organizations in the social and artistic field. These range from an org that runs a training institution for Systemic Therapy and employs around 20 people (some of them as contractors), where I sat on the board during a time of significant change, to a purely volunteer run literary org where I hold financial responsibility for more than 20 years now. | |
| Please describe your professional career experience. | For most of my life I worked in the social field, centering on individual clients with complex problems using a systemic approach. I held some leadership positions in this field including the management of a large day care center for children with cognitive disabilities. For six years I worked for the Wikimedia Foundation in the Trust&Safety and the Community Development Teams. In this role I supported the committees that developed the UCoC and its implementation guidelines. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | ||
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | Diploma in Social Work, Certificates in Systemic Counseling, Trauma Counseling, Psychosocial Supporter during Legal Proceedings and Project Management (PRINCE2 and Scrum) | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | ||
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | ||
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | ||
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | In my professional capacity working for WMF I made sure to invite volunteers from different communities and diverse demographics to all discussions, research projects and consultations I was part of. And not only to formally invite them, but to really bring them in and to make space for them. I actually often was the person other WMF staff members turned to for advice on how to reach out to those voices that are not always heard. The most impactful thing I did in this capacity was probably making sure Maggie Dennis had a diverse and qualified candidate pool to choose from for the committees that wrote the UCoC and its enforcement guidelines.
I mentored a number of younger colleagues at WMF as well as at other workplaces. I often got the feedback that my advice helped them a lot to settle in their roles and to make important steps in their careers. Some of them brought grievances to my attention that they were not sure how to adress - among them a few serious problems with discrimination. In most cases I was able to connect them to the appropriate channels with some good advice on how to talk about these issues. This usually resulted in their perspective being heard and changes for the better being implemented. Speaking a bit more generally, I am known for always listening carefully, stepping back to make space for other voices and passing the microphone to those who have not had their say. For people who are not comfortable holding the microphone themselves, I have been quite successful in finding other means of communication, like written text, or conveying their opinion in a smaller setting. | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | With patience, with joy in what I do and with love I can remain productive. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | I am very happy the board of Trustee does well with gender diversity. I was also happy to have worked for the Foundation as part of the most diverse work force I ever experienced. Still, I see all the places that are not filled, I hear voices that are not represented. I see some communities that lack diversity. And I know about voices neither me nor others in the movement can hear. We need the knowledge of these voices, their wisdom and their skills. We need to make room for them, amplify those we hear and strain to listen to more of them. We need to realize we need them and then work to let them know about our need. Wikimedia needs diversity like Wikimedians need oxygen. Let's get more of it! | |
