Project Update
by symode09＠hotmail.com 23 Sep '07

23 Sep '07

I want YOU for the Communication Projects Group! If you don't know where I got that from, then you need to go look it up. Now. In all seriousness, however, the Communication Projects Group is looking for members, and we're easier than ever to join! (continue reading) Press Pack Heya all! I thought I might just give an update on the Press Pack. I've recorded all the stock footage of Wikimedia project pages and, people using /editing Wikimedia projects but, still need help with the one liners. We need to record some people from Jimbo to the average editor (note: the average users we record must not be sleep deprived or drugged up communists - that said, we have ruled out 92% of our community) but, to do that, we need to first write them. (continue reading) Statistics Projects Hey all! Just something else I want to bring up; as you know, we are going to (if it ever happens) begin a statistics group. We have the software but, it needs to be set up by someone who knows PHP. It is real simple but, will take about 30 minutes or so. (continue reading)

Wikimedia Fundraising

Hey everyone! Just thought I would update you about our fundraising projects. I have been working with some other media students trying to throw some sort of campaign together. We have been trying to think of something which will get people's attention in an interesting way. We have looked at methods of publicity from digg to animating Jimbo but feared some bad feelings towards us - as they say "if you're gonna be hated by Jimbo, you better have God on your side." One thing that sandy brought up which we thought of was a button or sticker which could be used for publicity or something (continue reading)

Fwd: Uncaught bounce notification

It's Simon. Have to use the sandyd account to stop the overflow of emails that always come from first attempts on a new email list(s). I appreciate your hyperventilation - another stupid idea. The last one was when I suggested (a long time ago) to a few computer companies that, due to Moore's Law, they should rent their computers rather than sell them (and when the laughter had died, set up a funding mechanism between computer companies and banks). Now I'm told what a stupid idea it is to buy. I'm suggesting the same kind of change in context here = Comms not Info. Have replied at OCLC's forum to help my failing memory keep a thread, http://forums.oclc.org/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=11732&pageNo=1&num=20 I hope you will take a squiz. Especially at the virtual rooms stuff. I can see you like the idea of broadcasting from Wikimania, wherever it might be held, and while the comproj teams are reforming it seems a good time to get a new comms model in place. It's quite possible to do a global thing but we gotta use the appropriate tools. All the best, simonfj I have to say, as a classifier I started hyperventilating with laughter at this point. Of all the things that are completely inappropriate to use for anything like our projects, DDC must be high on the list... (DDC is essentially a system for arranging physical books in a linear order. In an electronic environment, it's... well, about as meaningful as "alphabetising things" for any form of structured information. Not to mention the fact that it's immensely legally encumbered!)

Hey all! For those of you who haven't already been driven insane by me on the irc, I would like to tell you all about the blog I have set up for the CPG. The blog is located at http://www.loopaustralia.com/cpg/ I have set it up so, we can keep members up to date with important information since, the list seems to have so much discussion, it is difficult to sort through the actual information and the general congratulations towards thunderhead (I wish I had such a welcoming ) The way the blog is set up, you can register at http://www.loopaustralia.com/cpg/wp-login.php?action=register with your meta username and email. Once you have done this, you will be able to comment and post new stories. This would be a great asset to the cpg. Please register if you haven't already since I would like to get it going as soon as possible. There has already been a post, take a look for yourself. All the data is encrypted on my servers and is not used for any other purpose. thanks brown_cat symode09 Deni Symonds Adolf Hitler Elmo

Must-Read list for new members?
by Casey Brown 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

At tonight's meeting, many were surprised to see that some of our members had never read Wikizine! We then started talking a "must-read" page for new members to ComProj that includes important Communications information. What do you guys think? -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists. Personal emails sent to this address will probably get lost.

Wikimania as a communication project
by Sandy Dorotheo 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Dear guys, I hope you don’t mind this approach. Rather than contributing to separate elists, I’ve put a message on a bulletin board hosted at OCLC. They’re the largest non profit for librarians in the world. They also have a tool – the Dewey Decimal Code – which could help wikimedians associate their content with their projects (and communications). I’ve started a thread and offered a poll if you’d like to offer an opinion. HYPERLINK "http://forums.oclc.org/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=11732"http://forums.oclc.or g/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=11732 So far as a little background on me. I’m a fifty something who has worked in media for a lot a years and would like to help by getting a bunch of sponsors on board the wiki train – both for the conference and also for the equipment which supports wikimediafoundation (non profit) stuff. I also have a bunch of mates who have run conferences for Rotarians in the past E.g. 64,000 in Chicago a few years ago. My best regards, Simon Fenton - Jones No virus found in this outgoing message.

Projects templated, just awaiting status updates.
by Gerald A 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hi all, I went through and added templates to all of the projects listed at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Projects (I think). I went through and divided them into two groups - one that had someone "assigned", and one group without any assigned CPG member. >From what I can tell, a few projects overlap, and I'm not sure on the current status of some of these projects. If you know something about any of these projects, feel free to update the template directly or drop me a note and I'll update the project. Side note to Greeves: I had to roll back your addition of DPL's, either the template isn't all up to snuff or somthing I did causes most of the projects to be not listed. Once that is fixed, we'll switch the DPL back on. Thanks, Gerald.
