Aside from the plot itself, the thing about Avengers 4 that people have been talking about most is what its actual title will be. Right now, all we can do is place a number next to it, though we all know that Marvel Studios give their films subtitles to distinguish them. So rest assured, there’ll be one in place for the Infinity War sequel, too.
Originally, True Believers thought they’d go with “Infinity Gauntlet,” but it’s probably for the best that that’s been ruled out, as if we’re being honest, it’s a bit too straightforward and mundane. Plus, Thanos has already acquired every Infinity Stone, so you have to admit that it’d seem redundant at this point.
And though we’re still waiting on an official announcement from Marvel, the folks over at MCU Cosmic claim to have it on very good authority that next May’s blockbuster will be called…wait for it…Avengers: Annihilation. If you’ll recall, the Russo brothers posted a photo a while back telling fans to “look harder” and they might just discover the title. And as it turns out, it was right there all along, as you can see below.
Again, the studio hasn’t confirmed this just yet, but it would make sense given the devastating events of Infinity War. Not to mention that as MCU Cosmic points out, it continues the Avengers tradition of “using titles of big events in the comics, although the comic Annihilation wasn’t an Avengers book rather a huge (and awesome) cosmic Marvel event.” Oh, and there’s also the fact that it’s long been rumored that the subtitle will be one word only, and this certainly fits that description.
At this stage, we imagine Marvel will either come out and announce something officially pretty soon given that the title has leaked, or switch it up and go with another title (assuming Annihilation is even what it’s currently called). MCU Cosmic has a pretty solid track record though so we’re inclined to believe that as of now, at least, this is indeed what the studio’s settled on.
Whether it’ll remain as Annihilation, we can’t say for sure, but with the first Avengers 4 trailer expected to drop in November, we should know soon enough.

ZIMBABWE – Three more Mutare police officers have had their salaries garnished to pay a total of $900 damages after they broke into a cellphone technician’s house at night and beat him up for allegedly stealing some property.
The payments from the officers will compensate the victim.
Constables Christopher Kanyemba, Chenjerai Muzuva and Talent Mutede of Chikanga Police Station, broke the bedroom door and pounced on Mr Prince Mbofana who was lying naked with his wife before force-marching him to the police station.
The garnishee orders were issued barely a fortnight after another constable at Zimunya Police Station in Mutare, brutally assaulted and unlawfully arrested a villager.
He was sued and ordered to pay the victim $1007 as compensation.
The flood of lawsuits against police officers in their personal capacities stems from Section 50(9) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, which makes all abusive and overzealous police officers liable for their own illegal actions.
“Any person who has been illegally arrested or detained is entitled to compensation from the person responsible for the arrest or detention, but a law may protect the following persons from liability under this section: a) a judicial officer acting in a judicial capacity reasonably and in good faith, b) any other public officer acting reasonably and in good faith and without culpable ignorance or negligence”.
In terms of the Constitution, those public officers who unlawfully detain or arrest people are liable to personal lawsuits.
The law only protects police officers acting reasonably and in good faith.
A Mutare magistrate Mrs Yeukai Chigodora ruled against Kanyemba, Muzuva and Mutede in the civil claim and ordered them to pay $900 in damages for unlawful arrest, pain and suffering caused on Mr Mbofana.
In terms of a garnishee order issued on February 1 this year, the three will pay $300 each to Mr Mbofana.
They will each have $50 deducted from their monthly salaries for five months.
Mrs Peggy Tavagadza of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights represented Mr Mbofana in the court case.
A total of $150 ($50 from each police officer) will be transferred into Mr Mbofana’s CBZ Bank account monthly.
Mr Mbofana told the court that he was severely assaulted by the three at the police station on March 3 last year.
He told the court that the police broke into his house at midnight but later released him without any charge around 5am the following day.
Mr Mbofana sustained injuries and the police gave him a letter to enable him to go for treatment.
The police officers, in their defence, argued that they were acting in good faith and they picked Mr Mbofana up following tip-offs from the suggestion boxes that he had stolen some property.
However, the magistrate found that the police officers were not acting in good faith and that they were abusing their powers in the unlawful arrest, detention and assault.
“The plaintiff managed to prove his claim on a balance of probabilities,” said Mrs Chigodora. “To start with, the defendants do not deny they detained plaintiff from midnight to 5:30am. Neither do they deny that he was released without any charge.
Mrs Chigodora said the police officers confirmed knowing Mr Mbofana prior to the arrest and where he stayed, hence there was no justification in raiding him at midnight.
“More so, if defendants wanted to interview the plaintiff, I see no reason why they had to take him at midnight considering that they admitted they only looked for him once in the afternoon and failed to find him,” she said.
This comes after Constable Tafara Depute of Zimunya Police Station, who brutally assaulted a villager and subjected him to unlawful arrest and detention, will, for the next 10 months, have $100 deducted from his monthly salary to pay up damages of $1 007.
A Mutare man Mr Samson Jackson, who was once arrested at Zimunya Police Station for insulting some Zanu-PF officials, sued the policeman after being brutally assaulted.
In a related case, a Bindura University student Mr Luckson Munyai is suing the police for $51 503 after he was assaulted and broke an arm.
He sued then Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi, Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri, Inspector Mutizwa and Sergeant Nleya in their official capacities.
The case is yet to be set down for hearing at the High Court.

Massive changes to how public schools will be allowed to hire builders for large construction projects, as well as harsh new penalties for malfeasance that occurs during the selection process are included in the $10.4 billion budget passed by Arizona lawmakers and signed by Gov. Doug Ducey last week.
Some in the construction industry — who were not consulted on the changes and fear a return to a system that prioritizes cost above outcomes — say the changes are a legislative overreaction to scandals that have roiled the Scottsdale Unified School District since late 2017.
The most significant change involves how construction companies will be selected. Beginning July 2019, instead of using a process that allows districts to subjectively score and select a construction manager to manage the entire project, builders will be selected based solely on who promises the lowest cost.
Other provisions aim to prevent undue influence over the procurement process by restricting who gets to be part of the selection process and banning gifts given by contractors to district officials.
The legislation marks a shot across the bow from lawmakers who say they see problems in the school construction industry and want to be sure taxpayers are getting maximum value from expensive construction projects.
“It was all aimed at trying to address corruption in financial management and procurement practices,” said House Speaker J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler.
Some of these specifications are already included in the Arizona Board of Education's administrative code. The law authorizes the attorney general to investigate and interview people under oath if there is a reason to believe any of the yet-to-be-written rules have been violated.
Knowingly avoiding the new rules will be a class 4 felony. Violations of the gift ban will be a class 6 felony for anything with a value above $300 and a class 6 misdemeanor for anything with a value below $300.
Charter schools will be exempt from the new rules.
Mesnard said the changes are in direct response to a scandal in Scottsdale Unified School District, in which the district’s superintendent and other district officials were discovered to have financial ties to an architect who was given a large construction project.
Hunt & Caraway, the architectural firm selected by the school, had paid the district’s superintendent $30,000 in 2016.
Documents also showed that Hunt & Caraway was paid, and the company’s executives knew the firm would receive the contract, before the district had finished its selection process.
The revelation led to the firing of the superintendent and other district employees.
But Minter, of the Arizona Builders Alliance, said the changes were made without consulting stakeholders in the construction and architecture industries. Had lawmakers done so, Minter said industry experts would have warned them about the dangers of returning to a low-bid system like what Arizona used until the late 1990s.
Many public works projects ended up in lawsuits, he said, because a low-bid environment creates an “instant adversarial environment” between architects, contractors, subcontractors and project owners — in this case, school districts.
Rebekah Morris, the publisher of Arizona Builders Exchange, a construction trade publication that tracks public procurements, said the changes to the procurement laws for school districts will, ironically, lead to increased costs because of litigation.
“It is counter-productive. You’re going a huge step backwards if this actually does take effect,” she said.
Mesnard said he expects the Arizona Board of Education will define “qualified bidders” when it crafts the rules to implement the law.
Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting (AZCIR) and KJZZ reported in 2017 on the interwoven financial relationships between a small group of architects, construction companies and subcontractors and the school districts in Maricopa County where the companies seek business.
The investigation showed that, between 2013 and 2016, architects, construction firms and subcontractors accounted for nearly all of the financial contributions made to Maricopa County districts’ bond and override campaigns. If voters approved the property tax increases, they funded construction projects sought by the builders.
AZCIR found that nine companies — three architecture firms, three construction firms, and three subcontractors — accounted for half of all public school procurement awards in Maricopa County for bond-related projects. Those same companies gave nearly 60 percent of the money raised by school bond and override campaign committees in Maricopa County during those years. Overall, construction companies accounted for roughly 90 percent of all campaign giving for such campaigns.
Morris said she has been paying close attention to the school procurements since 2015, and the pattern of awarded contracts indicates something other than standard competitive bidding.
Minter, of the Arizona Builders Alliance, disagreed with Morris. He said market concentration occurs in every industry.
Parents concerned about construction at SUSD's Hopi Elementary School originally raised concerns with the district's construction practices. Pictured here is new construction at the school on April 25, 2018.
Public procurements for construction projects by community colleges, universities and municipalities in Arizona showed dramatically more distribution among different companies.
Morris said that the construction manager at risk (CMAR) and job order contract (JOC) procurement methods currently in use by school districts leaves open the possibility that the contractors can manipulate the market.
Both methods have a subjective selection process that allow other factors to be considered in addition to overall cost. Additionally, CMAR gives the company hired to manage the project wide discretion over which other contractors end up working on a project.
If contractors were manipulating the market, Morris said, the results of AZCIR’s 2017 analysis is what it would look like.
“This can’t be explained by an actually competitive procurement process,” she said.
Between now and when the new law goes into effect in July 2019, Minter said he and other construction industry advocates plans to meet with lawmakers and discuss how more nuanced adjustments to the existing CMAR and JOC systems can be implemented while still keeping them in place.
Mesnard said he is open to altering the new law when the legislature reconvenes in January 2019.
“I’m sure this won’t be the end of the conversation (on) procurement in school districts,” he said.
This is a collaboration between KJZZ and the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting, an independently funded, non-profit news organization.
According to procurement records compiled by AZBEX, between 2013 and 2016, a group of three architects, three construction firms and three subcontractors ended up winning contracts for more than half of all K-12 projects.

A storm ravaging southern Africa is possibly the worst weather-related disaster ever to hit the southern hemisphere, with 1.7 million people in the path of the cyclone in Mozambique, UN officials said on Tuesday.
The cyclone had affected 920,000 in Malawi.
Storm surge floods, up to six meters deep, had caused “incredible devastation’’ over a huge area, World Food Programme Regional Chief, Lola Castro, said.
The Buzi River had burst its banks, killing hundreds, and there was the risk of more flooding in the Buzi, Pungoe and Save river basins in the next 72 hours.
Similarly, the number of people killed in Mozambique by powerful storms and floods across south-eastern Africa is likely to rise significantly, the Red Cross said on Tuesday.
Rescue crews are still struggling to assess the devastation caused by Cyclone Idai, which swept in at speeds of up to 170 kph (105 mph) from the Indian Ocean late last week, hitting Mozambique.
The cyclone also hit the inland neighbours Zimbabwe and Malawi.
The official death count in Mozambique stands at 89 but its President, Filipe Nyusi, said on Monday he had flown over some of the worst-hit zones, seen bodies floating in rivers and now estimated more than 1,000 people may have died there.
A total of 98 people were confirmed dead and more than 200 missing in Zimbabwe, its government said on Monday.
The storm hit land near Mozambique’s port of Beira on Thursday and went on to flood huge areas of territory, destroying roads and wiping out communications networks across the region.
“We are working with NASA and the European Space Agency to get satellite information to get a full picture of the affected areas and number of people trapped there,’’ Caroline Haga of the International Federation said.
People were still trapped on high-lying areas of the country, Gerald Bourke of the UN World Food Programme said.
“We don’t have any clear numbers on the death toll but we are looking at huge areas that are under water.
“We’re seeing mile after mile of villages under several metres of water,’’ Mr Bourke said.

a storm ravaging southern africa is possibly the worst weather-related disaster ever to hit the southern hemisphere, with 1.7 million people in the path of the cyclone in mozambique, un officials said on tuesday.
the cyclone had affected 920,000 in malawi.
storm surge floods, up to six meters deep, had caused “incredible devastation’’ over a huge area, world food programme regional chief, lola castro, said.
the buzi river had burst its banks, killing hundreds, and there was the risk of more flooding in the buzi, pungoe and save river basins in the next 72 hours.
similarly, the number of people killed in mozambique by powerful storms and floods across south-eastern africa is likely to rise significantly, the red cross said on tuesday.
rescue crews are still struggling to assess the devastation caused by cyclone idai, which swept in at speeds of up to 170 kph (105 mph) from the indian ocean late last week, hitting mozambique.

Andersen, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, speaks during the afternoon session of the 187th Annual General Conference at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City Saturday, April 1, 2017.
Holland was among more than a dozen speakers who addressed tens of thousands of Mormons in downtown Salt Lake City and millions more around the world, tuned into the LDS Church's 187th Annual General Conference.
One voice the faithful didn't hear during the morning and afternoon sessions was that of LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson. The increasingly frail 89-year-old leader presided over the morning gathering after being helped to his seat.
In the afternoon, that chair  between Henry B. Eyring and Dieter F. Uchtdorf, his two counselors in the governing First Presidency  sat noticeably vacant.
A spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Monson, viewed by Mormons as a "prophet, seer and revelator," was "conserving his energy" for the remainder of the weekend's sessions.
Two years ago, the Utah-based religion announced Monson was "feeling the effects of advancing age." Since then, the longtime LDS leader, who also didn't attend last Saturday's women's meeting, has been scaling back his conference sermons.
The former president of LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University pleaded with members to stay in the faith's expanding fold.
During that time, he also witnessed the "ugliness of prejudice and discrimination suffered by those who are targeted because of their race or ethnicity."
In LDS history, Mormons were persecuted for their faith, Renlund noted. "How ironically sad it would be if we were to treat others as we have been treated. ... Let us fully mirror [Jesus'] love and love one another so openly and completely that no one feels abandoned, alone or hopeless."
Eyring, who spoke first Saturday, addressed Mormons' theological drive to seek out their ancestors  a practice they believe opens the door of the LDS gospel to long dead kin  and the growing fascination with genealogy among millions of others.
"Interest in exploring one's family history has grown exponentially. At ever-increasing rates, people seem drawn to their ancestry with more than just casual curiosity," he said. "Genealogical libraries, associations and technologies have emerged around the world to support this interest."
He said the "hearts of the children  you and me  have turned to our fathers, our ancestors. The affection you feel for your ancestors is ... deeply seated in your sense of who you are. But it has to do with more than just inherited DNA."
The morning's concluding speaker was Russell M. Nelson, senior member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and next in the line for the church presidency.
Nelson touted the power of faith to change lives.
"True disciples of Jesus Christ are willing to stand out, speak up, and be different from people of the world," the 92-year-old leader said. Faith "propels us to do things we otherwise would not do. Faith that motivates us to action gives us more access to his power."
When believers "reach up for the Lord's power ... with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air," Nelson promised, "power from Jesus Christ will be yours. When the savior knows you truly want to reach up to him  when he can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw his power into your life  you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you need to do."
In the afternoon, apostle Neil L. Andersen emphasized the importance of "overcoming the world," rising above earthly concerns and focusing on God.
"Overcoming the world is not a global invasion, but a private, personal battle, requiring hand-to-hand combat with our own internal foes," Andersen said. "The world, on the other hand, is more interested in indulging the natural man than in subduing him."
One of those indulgences is social media. "A disciple of Christ is not alarmed if a post about her faith does not receive 1,000 likes or even a few friendly emojis," Andersen said. "Overcoming the world is less concerned with our online connections and more concerned with our heavenly connection to God."
Fellow apostle M. Russell Ballard advised the faithful to set goals for their lives and make plans to achieve them, "within the framework of our Heavenly Father's eternal plan."
The most important aims, he said, are "to return to [God's] presence and to receive the eternal blessings that come from making and keeping covenants."
Ballard warned about "loud voices" used by Satan  including the mass media, the internet and social media  "that seek to drown out the small and still voice of the Holy Spirit that can show us 'all things' we should do to return and receive."
"We must keep the doctrine and gospel of Jesus Christ at the center of our goals and plans," Ballard said. "Without him, no eternal goal is possible, and our plans to achieve our eternal goals will surely fail."
No women spoke Saturday, but three new female leaders were named to lead the women's Relief Society.

Located in the middle of the South American continent, Bolivia covers 1,098,581 square kilometers (424,164 square miles) and has a population of 9,427,219 million. The country is politically very unstable.
The Reform message entered the country in 1939 with Pastor Carlos Kozel’s visit; and one year later, in 1940, two Peruvian missionaries (Brothers José Carmen León and Heraclio Begazo) were sent to work in the country. By 1943 there were 30 interested souls attending church services. After the first church was organized in the capital city of La Paz, the message was taken to most cities. On December 23, 1963, the Bolivian Field of the Seventh-day Adventist Reform Movement was legally registered as a missionary fields of the General Conference with its headquarters in Germany at the time.
In 1975, the General Conference put the Bolivian Field under the management of the Peruvian Union; and then in 1986 Bolivia once again became a missionary field under the General Conference.
From January 1992 to 1995, when there were already 324 members, the church had a collapse that brought about great difficulties. Only 205 members remained firm in the true faith. Due to this problem, the work started over with three churches, one vehicle, and 10% of the publications of the publishing house. The situation was very precarious.
But now, thanks to God and the sacrifices made by local and foreign Bible workers and pastors, the Bolivian Field has 317 members and was recently organized as a Union. Although it is weak financially, some donations and the cooperation of our brethren have made it possible for the Union to purchase a piece of land measuring 1,700 square meters (18,299 square feet) in the city of Cochabamba for the purpose of constructing a headquarters building.
We appeal to all the believers in the world to help us carry out our construction plans, for we cannot do this by ourselves. As it is written, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35. “Self-denial will bring into the treasury of God the means necessary to advance His work. Thus we may act in copartnership with Christ.” –In Heavenly Places, p. 300.
May your offerings be very special for the work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We pray that He will multiply what you generously give for His cause in this place.

*According to the current regulations of Republic of Serbia, the tax for office space rental is 20%. However, there is a possibility that the tax will be increased, but that isn't expected in the next two quartals.
*According to the current regulations of Republic of Serbia, health benefits and pension insurance taxes are 62.13235% of the salary. However, there are indications that the Government might consider the option for lowering the taxes to about 54% (+-2%). If such reduction does occur, WMRS will return the appropriate amount or offer a rebalance of the budget to the WMF.
* Two scholarships for Wikimania 2013.
** Support for the organization of the CEE meeting 2013 and participation in it.
*** Participation at the GLAM conferences. This (or early next) year, WM UK is organizing a large GLAM conference with a participation fee.
**According to the current regulations of Republic of Serbia, health benefits and pension insurance taxes are 62.13235% of the salary. However, there are indications that the Government might consider the option for lowering the taxes to about 54% (+-2%). If such reduction does occur, WMRS will return the appropriate amount or offer a rebalance of the budget to the WMF.
*This is a retrospective of all the previous tables.
**In the TOTAL taxes are not counted twice.
*GLAM grant, WML grant and Wikipedia in Schools grant are funded. So the annual grant will be deduced by $7,442.38. The total amount requested for this annual grant is €50,712.45 -> 51.000,00€.
WMRS started a process of deep reorganization two years ago. Due to changes in law, we had to start a complete reorganization. That included writing new Bylaws, which needed to comply with both WMF and Republic of Serbia laws. After changing Bylaws, WMRS started with large internal changes. We made review of all things that were done before, and started planning future work in order to develop WMRS and with it the Wikimedia movement in Serbia. In the six months, WMRS Board analyzed its capacities in detail and put in a lot of efforts to make them larger. We approved several policies, relating to finances and staff. We also approved a policy regarding protecting our members' private data, in order to improve safety and privacy. We also wrote the general strategy for the period 2012-2014 which is the foundation of our actions in the next two years. Based on the strategy we made the Action plan and Work plan. In order to better promote ourselves, but also WMF and our common goals, mission and vision, as well as projects, we also wrote the Comunication strategy. Reorganization also included making our Board “younger”, by bringing new members.
During this process, we consulted many outside people, in order to do our task as well as possible, and reach our goal. We cooperated tightly with WMF. Ting Chen visited Belgrade, during which period there were several meetings. During those, Ting was introduced to our plans and goals. We also cooperated with the Head of Global South Relationships, i.e. Asaf. We consulted with representatives of several other NGOs in order to get a third party opinion about our plans. We use this opportunity to thank them for their cooperation.
It is important to stress that all policies and the Bylaws were written in cooperation with a lawyer office, in order to make them compatible with all applicable laws.
According to the strategic plan of development, Wikimedia Serbia is planning to open its office for internal and external activities. This intent is justified by the fact that there is a requirement for a central place for administrative and bureaucratic work, and also by the wish and interest of the public, potential partners and members to have information from the first hand.
Due to legal obligations, it's necessary to have a physical address. At this moment, we are registered at the apartment of one of our members, but we don't have access to it. This creates some obstacles and lateness in post delivery, and also problems in communication with authorities and local institution and partners.
To satisfy the needs and adequately respond to the obligations, Wikimedia Serbia plans to open an office.
By owning an office, WMRS will solve the problems of archiving documentation and access to the same; the work quality of the organization will improve and members and partners and will be able to visit our premises daily.
The future office will be the working place for Secretary General, his Assistant and Board members, and it will serve as a place where everybody can get information about WMRS.
- We will work with our partners, continue to support and develop the website glam.wikimedia.org as a place for online texts of models of cooperation and success stories. For the first three months, the site got more than 90 articles, mostly translations from the wiki-site glam.org. For the first three months, the site had nearly 20,000 hits.
- We will support the program Wikipedian in Residence. The location and duration of work will depend on the outcome of negotiations with the institutions.
- GLAM-team will focus its activities in the following year on the implementation of specific projects with GLAM institutions. Among these activities, there is the "QRpedia Project" - installation of QR codes in GLAM institutions.
- We will work with our partners to organize several smaller events in order to promote successfully completed projects.
Development of Wikimedia projects by writing new articles and obtaining multimedia files.
GLAM start up is supposed to attract GLAM institutions to cooperate with local Wikimedia chapter and encourage the use of Wikimedia projects by the GLAM sector. Also, successfully realized projects will raise the credibility and trust in the global Wikimedia movement, but also in WMF and WMRS.
Successful engagement in Wikipedia content related GLAM projects with institutions will add to the quality of existing articles and improve the quantity of articles. Image donations will enrich Wikimedia Commons with new materials, which will be used on articles on Wikimedia projects.
Installing of QR codes in institutions will improve usage and development of QRpedia. By including GLAM staff in project realization the door is opened for them to become regular Wikimedians.
Regional and international cooperation is important for strengthening relationships with other chapters and similar organizations. Regional and international cooperation is important for strengthening relationships with other chapters and similar organizations. That cooperation is important either through events or realization of specific projects, and that is ideal chance for spreading ideas, experiences and problems. From social aspect, participation in events that gathers people form more countries gives better understanding and strong support to their good-will for nonprofit way of Wikimedia goals and vision development. Joint programs and projects are big chance for jointly success and the best results.
- "Wiki Gymnasium" is a project of working with high school students who are taught and trained to work and write in Wikipedia through seminal papers in certain subjects on given topics. The pilot project was held at 7th Belgrade Gymnasium with one class which worked on geography subjects.
- Collaboration with universities has been ongoing for a few years (Faculty of Organization Sciences, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Mathematics), where we work on training students to write articles on Wikipedia, in cooperation with professors and assistants. The goal is to write term papers on given topics within some of the courses.
- Cooperation with the Faculty of Media and Communications (FMC) and media archive Ebart and continuation of the program "Wikinews on FMC." The program includes lectures and working with journalism students throughout the school year.
The continuation of cooperation with educational institutions will enhance our educative program, attract new users and increase quality and quantity of articles on Wikipedia/Wikinews. Besides quality and quantity, Wikipedia/Wikinews will remain in educational institutions as a platform for sharing free knowledge.
Cooperation will also positively affect the type of volunteers which participate in realisation of the project. Successful results are also personal success and impulse for further work.
Increasing of quality and quantity of certain Wikipedia is firstly a success for users of that project, but also for global community. Every local educational program improves and gives legitimacy to global educational programs, which work on introducing Wikimedia projects in educational institutions.
Every global and local goals are directly or indirectly related with mission and vision of Wikimedia movement and Wikimedia Foundation itself.
This project will provide certain number of new articles on Wikipedia. That will increase volume and quality of certain topics. It is good to know that all articles will provide students with help of their professors and assistants, so every sentence will have appropriate bibliographical citations and references. Also, professors and assistants will participate in measuring completeness of articles.
Participation of WMRS in this project builds strong connections with local educational institutions and gives credibility to the mission and vision of WMF and local chapters.
- Aimed on building knowledge society and supporting open data, open science and open educational issues. Started on April 26, World Intellectual Property Day in the form of research and dialog with government institutions regarding PSI, opening data, cultural heritage archives, scientific and educational resources. These debates took place at the National Library of Serbia and the paper is available here (for version in English, cf page 8). The plan is to assist the government in the Creative Commons standards implementation as much as possible.
The aim of this project is to support the knowledge society in Serbia by establishing the platform to provide Intellectual Property Rights details relevant for creating, using and re-using educational, scientific, artistic and media contents. These details are related on IP law terms and services including free/open licenses, open education resources and wiki technologies and projects' explanations. That will be a useful, comprehensive and unique IP database in Serbia in Serbian, a first and at present the one of a kind.
We believe that the project will be constant, useful and accessible support in national and international intellectual interaction. Making the proposed database will raise the targeted community awareness of current legal terms and conditions and open content/source in particular, as well as initiatives of creative potentials and their influences in local and global sharing or improving. The target community is the Serbian intellectual community who are not able to access the relevant IP information at the same time on the same place.
bilingual (Serbian-English) legal research publishing "Srbija i Drustvo znanja/Serbia and Knowledge Society"
legal analysis of the directions for the governmental websites establishing and licensing produced by Digital Agenda of the Republic of Serbia and this legal analysis results publishing in the form of public statement or participating in the public debate regarding these directions organized by Digital Agenda of the Republic of Serbia.
The proposal (The Knowledge Society) consists of two projects. The first-one is completely new and the other existed from 2006 (CC Serbia) on a voluntary basis, which has to be technically and instructively improved.
These two projects (Open Knowledge and Innovation Platform and Creative Commons Serbia) will be established as unique e-platforms in Serbia in Serbian to include more Serbian people, groups and institutions to access or contribute to wiki projects. Supporting the creative participation of the Serbian community - from marginalized to institutional, they could be useful for other national communities in the region who use or understand the Serbian language and deal with legal similarities (Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro) to build free and open content cooperation and share experiences in the future. These projects will also stimulate more useful new content or large amount of previously unavailable content to be directly or indirectly incorporated in wiki content, higher quality of existing wiki content, more trust in wiki projects and more enthusiasm in local and global sharing.
Since the results will be visible, accessible and hopefully recognized as important for the intellectual creativity, it could be a good basis for finding funders in the future and making Wikimedia Serbia role more intensive in wiki content increasing and improving.
The impact will be measured by amount of implemented data, quality of websites (Open Knowledge and Innovation Platform and Creative Commons Serbia), free and open content publications produced by projects' participants, education/workshops and debates, PR activities, number of comments or questions and the number of web database visitors, participants in workshops and debates.
Realizing the importance of media in the realization of its own objectives, mission and vision, Wikimedia Serbia, as a separate strategic goal, led the development of the Communication Strategy which defines a strategy of communication and public relations.

wmrs started a process of deep reorganization two years ago. due to changes in law, we had to start a complete reorganization. that included writing new bylaws, which needed to comply with both wmf and republic of serbia laws. after changing bylaws, wmrs started with large internal changes. we made review of all things that were done before, and started planning future work in order to develop wmrs and with it the wikimedia movement in serbia. in the six months, wmrs board analyzed its capacities in detail and put in a lot of efforts to make them larger. we approved several policies, relating to finances and staff. we also approved a policy regarding protecting our members' private data, in order to improve safety and privacy. we also wrote the general strategy for the period 2012-2014 which is the foundation of our actions in the next two years. based on the strategy we made the action plan and work plan. in order to better promote ourselves, but also wmf and our common goals, mission and vision, as well as projects, we also wrote the comunication strategy. reorganization also included making our board “younger”, by bringing new members.
during this process, we consulted many outside people, in order to do our task as well as possible, and reach our goal. we cooperated tightly with wmf. ting chen visited belgrade, during which period there were several meetings. during those, ting was introduced to our plans and goals. we also cooperated with the head of global south relationships, i.e. asaf. we consulted with representatives of several other ngos in order to get a third party opinion about our plans. we use this opportunity to thank them for their cooperation.
it is important to stress that all policies and the bylaws were written in cooperation with a lawyer office, in order to make them compatible with all applicable laws.
according to the strategic plan of development, wikimedia serbia is planning to open its office for internal and external activities. this intent is justified by the fact that there is a requirement for a central place for administrative and bureaucratic work, and also by the wish and interest of the public, potential partners and members to have information from the first hand.
due to legal obligations, it's necessary to have a physical address. at this moment, we are registered at the apartment of one of our members, but we don't have access to it. this creates some obstacles and lateness in post delivery, and also problems in communication with authorities and local institution and partners.
to satisfy the needs and adequately respond to the obligations, wikimedia serbia plans to open an office.
by owning an office, wmrs will solve the problems of archiving documentation and access to the same; the work quality of the organization will improve and members and partners and will be able to visit our premises daily.
the future office will be the working place for secretary general, his assistant and board members, and it will serve as a place where everybody can get information about wmrs.
- we will work with our partners, continue to support and develop the website glam.wikimedia.org as a place for online texts of models of cooperation and success stories. for the first three months, the site got more than 90 articles, mostly translations from the wiki-site glam.org. for the first three months, the site had nearly 20,000 hits.
- we will support the program wikipedian in residence. the location and duration of work will depend on the outcome of negotiations with the institutions.
- glam-team will focus its activities in the following year on the implementation of specific projects with glam institutions. among these activities, there is the "qrpedia project" - installation of qr codes in glam institutions.
- we will work with our partners to organize several smaller events in order to promote successfully completed projects.
development of wikimedia projects by writing new articles and obtaining multimedia files.
glam start up is supposed to attract glam institutions to cooperate with local wikimedia chapter and encourage the use of wikimedia projects by the glam sector. also, successfully realized projects will raise the credibility and trust in the global wikimedia movement, but also in wmf and wmrs.
successful engagement in wikipedia content related glam projects with institutions will add to the quality of existing articles and improve the quantity of articles. image donations will enrich wikimedia commons with new materials, which will be used on articles on wikimedia projects.
installing of qr codes in institutions will improve usage and development of qrpedia. by including glam staff in project realization the door is opened for them to become regular wikimedians.
regional and international cooperation is important for strengthening relationships with other chapters and similar organizations. regional and international cooperation is important for strengthening relationships with other chapters and similar organizations. that cooperation is important either through events or realization of specific projects, and that is ideal chance for spreading ideas, experiences and problems. from social aspect, participation in events that gathers people form more countries gives better understanding and strong support to their good-will for nonprofit way of wikimedia goals and vision development. joint programs and projects are big chance for jointly success and the best results.
- "wiki gymnasium" is a project of working with high school students who are taught and trained to work and write in wikipedia through seminal papers in certain subjects on given topics. the pilot project was held at 7th belgrade gymnasium with one class which worked on geography subjects.
- collaboration with universities has been ongoing for a few years (faculty of organization sciences, faculty of electrical engineering, faculty of mathematics), where we work on training students to write articles on wikipedia, in cooperation with professors and assistants. the goal is to write term papers on given topics within some of the courses.
- cooperation with the faculty of media and communications (fmc) and media archive ebart and continuation of the program "wikinews on fmc." the program includes lectures and working with journalism students throughout the school year.
the continuation of cooperation with educational institutions will enhance our educative program, attract new users and increase quality and quantity of articles on wikipedia/wikinews. besides quality and quantity, wikipedia/wikinews will remain in educational institutions as a platform for sharing free knowledge.
cooperation will also positively affect the type of volunteers which participate in realisation of the project. successful results are also personal success and impulse for further work.
increasing of quality and quantity of certain wikipedia is firstly a success for users of that project, but also for global community. every local educational program improves and gives legitimacy to global educational programs, which work on introducing wikimedia projects in educational institutions.
every global and local goals are directly or indirectly related with mission and vision of wikimedia movement and wikimedia foundation itself.
this project will provide certain number of new articles on wikipedia. that will increase volume and quality of certain topics. it is good to know that all articles will provide students with help of their professors and assistants, so every sentence will have appropriate bibliographical citations and references. also, professors and assistants will participate in measuring completeness of articles.
participation of wmrs in this project builds strong connections with local educational institutions and gives credibility to the mission and vision of wmf and local chapters.
- aimed on building knowledge society and supporting open data, open science and open educational issues. started on april 26, world intellectual property day in the form of research and dialog with government institutions regarding psi, opening data, cultural heritage archives, scientific and educational resources. these debates took place at the national library of serbia and the paper is available here (for version in english, cf page 8). the plan is to assist the government in the creative commons standards implementation as much as possible.
the aim of this project is to support the knowledge society in serbia by establishing the platform to provide intellectual property rights details relevant for creating, using and re-using educational, scientific, artistic and media contents. these details are related on ip law terms and services including free/open licenses, open education resources and wiki technologies and projects' explanations. that will be a useful, comprehensive and unique ip database in serbia in serbian, a first and at present the one of a kind.
we believe that the project will be constant, useful and accessible support in national and international intellectual interaction. making the proposed database will raise the targeted community awareness of current legal terms and conditions and open content/source in particular, as well as initiatives of creative potentials and their influences in local and global sharing or improving. the target community is the serbian intellectual community who are not able to access the relevant ip information at the same time on the same place.
bilingual (serbian-english) legal research publishing "srbija i drustvo znanja/serbia and knowledge society"
legal analysis of the directions for the governmental websites establishing and licensing produced by digital agenda of the republic of serbia and this legal analysis results publishing in the form of public statement or participating in the public debate regarding these directions organized by digital agenda of the republic of serbia.
the proposal (the knowledge society) consists of two projects. the first-one is completely new and the other existed from 2006 (cc serbia) on a voluntary basis, which has to be technically and instructively improved.
these two projects (open knowledge and innovation platform and creative commons serbia) will be established as unique e-platforms in serbia in serbian to include more serbian people, groups and institutions to access or contribute to wiki projects. supporting the creative participation of the serbian community - from marginalized to institutional, they could be useful for other national communities in the region who use or understand the serbian language and deal with legal similarities (bosnia, croatia, macedonia, montenegro) to build free and open content cooperation and share experiences in the future. these projects will also stimulate more useful new content or large amount of previously unavailable content to be directly or indirectly incorporated in wiki content, higher quality of existing wiki content, more trust in wiki projects and more enthusiasm in local and global sharing.
