Hello guys !
We are moving in the right direction about the photographic contest !
Most pages are ready on meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africa
As well as on commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa
Still some bits missing, but I would love your help in reviewing these pages. Feel free to fix what is obviously wrong. And please give feedback on those pages. What is missing, what is not necessary, what is unclear etc.
The website is roughly set, though there are still some pieces missing :
http://wikilovesafrica.org
It is currently available in French and English.
Please feel free to feedback as well !
Florence

Hello again
We are currently setting up the banners for the contest. And we need your help to get them translated
For now, only a handful languages have been set up (and automatically
translated)
See here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Upload_campaign_use_Wiki_Loves_…
Can you have a look and fix the following ones already available if you happen to speak the language ? Thanks
Also... some more languages would be obviously nice (arabic... just
saying...)
Please simply add translation if you can.
Thanks

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Individual Engagement Grants Committee recruiting for
members
To: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "
wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Wiki
Research-l" <wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Individual Engagement
Grants Committee" <iegcom(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Cc:
Dear all,
The Individual Engagement Grants Committee is seeking new members. We are
diverse, consensus-based committee with members on five continents and a
variety of skills. As a group we speak 16 languages and have over 500,000
edits to a variety of Wikimedia sites. We review grant applications twice
per year in four categories: Research, Tools (usually software), Online
community organizing, and Offline outreach and partnerships.
Members may specialize in as few or as many areas as they wish.
We look for the following qualifications. This information is taken from
our Meta page.
Mandatory:
1. Experience with the Wikimedia movement and at least one Wikimedia
project
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_projects>.
2. Experience with some aspect of Wikimedia programmatic or
project-based work, e.g. editor engagement, WikiProjects or other on-wiki
organizing processes, outreach, events, partnerships, research,
education,
gadget or bot-building, etc.
3. Ability to edit basic wiki-markup (grant proposal discussions are
largely conducted on meta-wiki).
4. Reasonable facility with English, for reviewing and discussing grant
proposals.
5. In good community- and legal- standing (not currently blocked or
banned, involved in allegations of unethical financial behavior, etc).
6. Availability to actively engage in the selection process during the
published schedule for that round (time commitment is about 3 hours per
week, plus 1 extra day for scoring).
Preferable:
1. Experience leading, coordinating, or managing projects with an
intended on-wiki or online impact.
2. Experience handling externally provided money and working within
budgets, preferably in a non-profit context.
3. Experience applying for grants or working in grants programs (in the
Wikimedia, academic, or wider non-profit world).
4. Ability to read and write in multiple languages.
Acceptable:
1. Members may apply for an Individual Engagement Grant themselves, but
they will recuse themselves from reviewing proposals in the same category
as their own during that round.
2. Membership does not conflict with membership in other Wikimedia
committees, including the Grant Advisory Committee
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Grants:PEG/Grant_Advisor…
>
or the Wikimania Scholarships Committee.
Please apply at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Committee#ieg-candidates. The
close of the application period is September 21. The Committee will review
the applications internally and announce new members by early October,
coinciding with the start of the public review period for new grant
proposals.
For the Committee,
Pine

I have just discovered that there is a page where it is possible to monitor articles for delation related to Africa.
you find it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Africa
maybe it can be relevant to put this page among your favorite pages or to check it once in a while if you want to provide your opinion.
I think people in this mailing list might enrich significantly the discussions related to delation.
it is healthy to delate articles which present topics and people that are indeed not notable. but as we know, sometimes you need to have some background knowledge to actually know what is notable and what is not. your contribution in this would be great.
thanks,

Hello !
I have great pleasure in telling you that the Wiki Loves Africa project
is now officially launched !
As a quick reminder... it is
An annual photo competition in Africa. A two-month competition which
will start on the 1st October and end on the 30th November 2014.
This year theme will be Cuisine. The theme will encompass the
- foods
- dishes
- crops and husbandry (or more generally, growth of ingredients)
- Traditions and rituals around food
- cooking methods and processing
- ustensils
- food markets as well as supermarkets or "informal traders
- festivals
- culinary events
- culinary art
- famine food and any other issues related to cuisine on the African
continent.
...whatever you think is relevant ... (within reason).
I created two pages in that regards
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africahttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa
Please add them to your watch lists and join the discussion pages :)
