Hi list,
it has come to my attention that there is quite an interesting
Commons-related grant that's just been submitted as part of the Travel
& Participation Grants programme on Meta (jointly organised by the
WMF, WMDE and WMCH).
In short, Kelvin Song ([[User:Kelvinsong]]) -- whom some of you might
recognize as a top-class creator of educational (and in, my opinion as
a basic SVG creator, absolutely mind-blowing) SVG images -- is asking
for a grant to represent the Wikimedia community, and Commons in
particular, at the Libre Graphic Meeting, due to take place in
Toronto, Canada, this spring.
I wouldn't normally contact this list about issues like that, but as a
huge fan of Kelvin's outstanding work, and a SVG creator myself, I
think this is an excellent way of at least attempting to bring new
skills and people to an under-discovered area of Commons.
The grant page can be found on Meta at
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS/Kelvinsong/LGM:_Creating_textbook-grade_SVG_illustrations_for_Wikipedia>;
help with copy-editing as well as endorsements will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks for your time, all.
