Hi,
WMIN chapter president Rahul Deshmukh attended Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town
without being selected for any type of scholarship. My question is why was
he sent to the conference depriving other community members from India who
were in the waiting list.
He spoke in the informal chairpersons' meetup for few minutes. The meeting
doesn't require president of the organization's presence, and already there
were 2 EC member of WMIN present, who could have attended the meeting.
To me, this is utter misuse of power and abuse of donation money.
Thanks,
Bodhisattwa

*Re: Online Tamil Text to Speech - Introduction (Shrinivasan T) *
Congratulations on releasing the online Tamil Text to Speech Engine. 2
questions
*Q1)* Is the TTS engine a neural net based engine or a concative TTS Engine?
*Q2)* Do you have the tentative timeline for the updates mentioned above:
**The below updates will be provided soon.* 1. Female Voice 2. Better
TTS 3. TTS for other languages 4. Rest API "*
We at building a tool called *VideoWiki *that allows users to drag and drop
images/videos from Wikimedia Commons onto Wikipedia text, thereby providing
a visual layer to Wikipedia. Looking to collaborate with you and hopefully
we can build the video version of Tamil Wikipedia and other Indic languages
soon.
*Regards,Pratik*

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Security Notification: Malware creating fake
Wikipedia donation banner
To: <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <
wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello,
In order to keep the community informed of threats against Wikimedia
projects and users, the Wikimedia Security team has some information to
share.
Malware installed via pirated contented downloaded from sites such as the
Pirate Bay can cause web browsers compromised by the malware to create a
fake donation banner for Wikipedia users. While the actual malware is not
installed or distributed via Wikipedia, unaware visitors may be confused or
tricked by it's activities.
The malware seeks to trick visitors to Wikipedia by looking like a
legitimate Wikipedia banner asking for donations. Once the user clicks on
the banner, they are then taken to a portal that leads them to transfer
money to a fraudulent bitcoin account that is not controlled by the
Foundation.
The current version of this malware is only infecting Microsoft Windows
users at the time of this notification. To date, the number of people
affected is small. The fraudulent accounts have taken approximately $700
from infected users. However, we strongly encourage all users to use and
update their antivirus software.
Additional details and a screenshot of the fake donation banner on can be
found at Bleepingcomputer.com. [0]
