When you're running an event, sometimes you want to help lots of people
create accounts on Wikimedia sites. To prevent spamming/vandalism,
ordinarily there's a cap on the number of accounts that can be created
from one IP address in a single day. But there's a way to ask for a
temporary removal of that restriction. The Foundation's Maggie Dennis
has written a quick HOWTO:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_request_lift_of_an_IP_cap
and so please feel free to link to it in your outreach HOWTOs, event
planning checklists, and so on. Thanks, Maggie!

Dear all,
I recently came across this kind of QR code that plays with sun and
shadow. I don't see any immediate use cases in our context, but I like
the approach, and so I'm passing it on to you:

Cheers,
