Like the last quarter, I have been updating how it is going with the goals continuously on GitHub. It has not been every week this quarter as the progress have been in a slower pace, but the updates have not been lagging much. Due to some travel with work, it has also been a bit unfocused, but I have made efforts to revisit my goals and keep them in mind.

This review is meant to give more room for reflections on the themes I chose for 2025. For ease of reference, I have added this quarter’s goal for each theme.

Sustainability

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development 🔴

• Goal: Establish decision-making process.

Unfortunately we didn’t manage to meet that much this quarter, and it was hard to build momentum and enthusiasm.

Office of Carbon Omission 🔴

• Goal: Add more ideas to the library (at least burning, fireworks and public transport).

Even though I clarified in the categories a bit, adding marketing as a topic, I didn’t add any new ideas.

Openness advocacy

Open By Default 🟢

• Goal: Establish Fediverse presence.

Not only did I manage to do this, I did it by catching up on last quarter’s goal “Set up a VPS for using open source tools.” by getting a server with Yunohost that I installed Mastodon on. The server is on: social.openbydefau.lt.

Govdirectory 🟡

• Goal: Inventorize question types and classify them.

It’s not a great classification system yet, but I have started to gather a list of kinds of questions/contacts that someone may need guidance in.

Wikipediapodden 🟢

• Goal: 🟢 11 episodes published. 🟡 Get access to and start using an automated editing tool.

Due to some travel, we missed one regular episode but made up for it by a special episode in English and exactly 11 episodes were published.

I did try out Descript, but that was not good enough for episodes in Swedish, and even in the English episode, it didn’t help at all. The technology does not seem to be mature enough for my standards.

Book project 🟡

• Goal: Full outline and key section done.

I think I have the outline done, but not the entire key section yet.

Learning

German 🟢

• Goal: Get a good grammar book.

After a lot of looking I got myself the grammar book Modern tysk grammatik from Liber.

Climate change 🔴

• Goal: Pass the course Design of Circular AI-Based Services.

Here I failed by missing the registration date for the course and couldn’t take it.

Artificial intelligence 🟡

• Goal: 🔴 Pass the course Design of Circular AI-Based Services. 🟡 Pass the course Elements of AI.

Since I missed the registration of the first course, I signed up to another course and have started it. It continues the entire summer.

Health

Running and hiking 🟢

• Goal: 452.5 km (averaging 5 km/day)

Running is still going really well, and I haven’t been sick or had any injuries so far. (Total: 669 km, April: 109 km, May: 110 km, June: 115 km.)

Eating 🟢

• Goal: Average 19 in the Daily Dozen app

Despite some travels, I managed to keep the average high. (April: 19.93, May: 19.87, June: 21.43.)
