This is a report about the activities of chapter-to-be [[Wikimedia Slovakia]] in the year 2013.

== Situacio ==

=== General ===

After the change of our address in September 2012, we were able to open a bank account in 2013. The bank account enabled the possibility for grants and bigger projects, our [[Grants:PEG/Wikimedia Slovakia/Wikipedia workshop within KAEST|first grant]] was undergone with the help of a fiscal partner.

For reimbursing our past expenses and testing new ideas we have asked for [[Grants:PEG/Wikimedia Slovakia/Start-up|a start-up grant]], which was approved.

Our communication infrastructure was enriched by 2 new mailing lists - [[mail:Wikimedia-SK|Wikimedia-SK]] for general communication and [[mail:wikimedia-sk-oznamy|wikimedia-sk-oznamy]] for announcements.

=== Generally assembly ===

The Generally assembly of Wikimedia Slovakia took place on 23th of March 2013. Past activities of the organization from 2012 and plans for 2013 were presented. The board presented some issues, which the organisation faces, especially in relation to the international Wikimedia movement as not-yet-recognized entity. Members have expressed the will to follow the original plan to become recognized as a Wikimedia chapter without being a Wikimedia User group.

=== Board situation ===

Not long after the generally assembly Rudolf Šmehýl decided to leave the board due to reciprocal misinterpretation between him and the rest of the board. The rest of board met on 16th of April 2013 and voted to change the roles inside of board. Since then the board consists of the president [[User:KuboF|KuboF]] and vice-president [[User:Jetam2|Jetam2]]. The board has decided to make full voting on a new board during the next generally assembly, which will take place next year.

=== Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 ===

In 2013 Wikimedia Slovakia organised the Slovakian part of the international photo contest [[sk:Wikipédia:Wiki miluje pamiatky|Wiki Loves Monuments]]. Using experiences, previously-created infrastructure and contacts from 2012, the year 2013 was more professional. ([[Grants:PEG/Wikimedia Slovakia/Start-up/Report/Wiki Loves Monuments|grant report]]) 2729 photos were submitted to the contest by 76 contributors. The number of photographs was 3.58 times higher than the previous year. The total size exceeded 5 GB of photographic material. Our main partner for the competition was The Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic.

=== Day of Financial literacy with Wikipedia ===

''[[sk:Wikipédia:Deň finančnej gramotnosti|Day of Financial literacy with Wikipedia]]'' is an article writing contest on the Slovak Wikipedia co-organized by Wikimedia Slovakia and the foundation Nadácia PARTNERS. The contest lasted from 9.9. to 9.11. and resulted in 33 created and 14 improved articles. The prizes for the contest were provided by Nadácia PARTNERS.

The contest was de-facto cloned from the WMCZ's version.

=== Wiki for students, students for Wiki ===

Program of Wikipedia Ambasadors called ''Wiki for students, students for Wiki'' was launched, lead by [[User:Peko|Peko]]. The first collaboration was established with Prof. RNDr. Ladislav Tolmáči, PhD from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University (Bratislava) about [[:sk:Wikipédia:WikiProjekt Wiki pre študentov, študenti pre Wiki/Štáty sveta (2012/2013)|countries of the world]].

=== Commons support ===

Basic infrastructure for the upcoming [[:c:Commons:Wikimedia Slovenská republika|Commons related projects]] was created. The infrastructure was first used by the Slovakian NGO ''Združenie Slatinka'' to upload their photos. We are planning to use this contact for further Wikipedia training.
