Hi All, there are a couple of things I wanted to post to this list.
1) Commons
photo challenge
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_challenge
This month and
next month I am the volunteer co-ordinator of the monthly photo challenge on
Wikimedia Commons which was started last December. Please let me know if you
want to participate and/or need technical help. There are no prizes, just kudos
if you get a place.
The challenges
for June are:
*Time for
sports (challenge open for two months since
May)
*Wiki Loves
Pride 2014 (part of a broader collaboration with the Wiki Loves Pride 2014
campaign on Wikipedia, our first such
collaboration)
*Ruins, cemeteries and ghostly places
The challenges for July have not been finalised yet, one may be work-related.
2) National
Key Points Act
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Key_Points_Act,_1980
I was told to
stop taking photographs of Stellenbosch railway station by security guards,
which led to me expanding this article from a stub. It should be of interest to
anyone photographing buildings in SA.
3) Wikimania
2014 brochure
Please could we have some input about the contents of this brochure which a WPSA member has requested. I removed the contact details for Wikimedia ZA as I understand it is not the same thing as WPSA and don't want to create confusion. WPSA doesn't seem to have a logo per se, and we should remedy that. Are there any guidelines or tips for logos for SA projects? I am not artistic myself, perhaps we could have some sort of contest to design one?
Enjoy the
indaba this weekend if you are going. I am sorry I cannot attend, travelling
away from home is difficult for me.
Regards
Helen
