Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)

In the IdeaLab Workshop, we're collaboratively turning ideas into action.

Do you….

  • Have an idea for a project to improve Wikimedia?
  • Want feedback or help obtaining funding to turn your idea into action?
  • Have skills you can share with someone else’s ideas/projects/grants?
  • Have a key learning from a past project to share with others?
  • Just generally feel curious about what IdeaLab is and how you can get involved?

In this interactive session we’ll work together to:

  • show you what’s new in IdeaLab, an incubator on meta-wiki for people to turn ideas into projects to improve Wikimedia projects, websites, and communities.
  • write-up new ideas and turn old ideas into project plans or grant proposals
  • write-up key learning from past projects in the form of Learning Patterns

Bring your ideas from the conference so far, your project/learning/skills, or bring someone you met at the IdeaLab mixer, and let’s turn ideas into actionable projects together!
