This week's meeting
by Sean Whitton 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hi all. I will not be present for this week's meeting due to having my school's end of compulsory education event (read: prom). This means that both Sandy and I will not be available to pull things to together. I would like to ask someone to put together a basic plan for the meeting and to try to lead it, and perhaps let us know on this list what they plan to do, so that things do not fall apart and the time is wasted. Thanks, Sean -- —Sean Whitton (seanw) <sean(a)silentflame.com> http://seanwhitton.com/

I meant to tell everyone that, I have a problem attending the meeting on the 16th - I would need to meet 2hrs later (if possible) - could the meeting be delayed?

I am a user who would work partially behind the scenes (I will be reporting and possibly helping with another video project which is currently being discussed) and, would love to learn how to I began the wikinews video edition and, have been coordinating it. I am also part of the CPG (Communication Projects Group) where we help the foundations press dept. I'm a student in Perth, WA, Australia who has a huge interest in the media. I have won awards and, love to work on projcets which will help the community. At school I do voulintary community service for the enviroment and senior citizens. I am a funny guy and do like to joke about but, am serious when I have to. I like to spend time with friends (when I am not on a wikimedia project naturally :) ) For school I play hockey and rowing. I also am into football (european) a bit but, don't follow it too much

Hello, It may be for the best to hold onto this particular press release idea for a few weeks. The recent shooting and the end of spring semester probably consume most people's attention in the short term, at least in the U.S. We'd likely do better if we waited until early summer when exams are over and faculty begin to think about how to plan new classes for the fall. For Stateside readership a June release seems about right to me. I'm not sure whether that timing applies to other countries. During the meantime I'll be glad to collaborate on a draft press release. This brand new WikiProject is already seeing exciting developments. This week we received an unexpected post from a student who had been brainstorming with friends about starting a Wikipedia club: they would collaborate after school and try to raise one page to Good Article status every month. My first piece of advice was to seek a faculty sponsor. Not only is that a fantastic idea, it's scalable. Imagine if Wikipedia clubs became a new extracurricular trend.

Next meeting
by Christophe Henner 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Reminder! Tomorow, 2030 UTC on #wikimedia-cpg. Just my opinion, cpg exists for one month, I think we should take 10 minutes to have a look on the past few weeks and say what went good/wrong, what's needed, etc... To make a better work we need to improve the way we work. Something I propose here, so people can think about it, is every week someone volounteers to create an order of the day for the next week. -- schiste

Fwd: Wikibooks
by Christophe Henner 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

I think we could make it wider, and make a PR for third age (does this idioms exist in english?) about projects like wikibooks, wiktionary and wikisource. I think this is the three project in wich they would be interested.
