Hello everyone!
This is a new community consultation for Structured Data on Commons that is
quite relevant for everyone who deals with copyright and licenses on
Wikimedia Commons.
Please take a look, and voice your opinion!
Thank you :-) Sandra

Subject: [Commons-l] Structured data - copyright and licensing statements
designs
To: Wikimedia Commons Discussion List <commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <
wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Greetings,
New designs are up for structured copyright and licensing statements [1],
based on feedback from the first round of designs. Please take some time to
look over the new mockups and tell us what you think. How copyright and
licensing is displayed in structured data is extremely important, and the
development team needs to hear from you.
Thanks, enjoy your weekend.

proposals
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi folks,
The open call for Project Grants is officially underway! As you prepare
your proposals this month, please keep in mind that the final deadline is
November 30th, and that this will be only the only open call for Project
Grants during this fiscal year, which ends on June 30th, 2019. To learn
more about this grant program and how to prepare an application, please
visit our landing page on Meta. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project>
In addition to the resources mentioned in the prior announcement, we have
scheduled some proposal clinics where applicants will be able to discuss
their proposals or ask questions with Wikimedia Foundation staff using
Google Meet or using IRC. Some of these will be themed toward specific
topics (such as proposals involving a GLAM-related project), and others
will be more general. For a list of scheduled proposal clinics, please
review the Project Grants landing page on Meta. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project#Upcoming_events>. Additional
clinics may be added throughout the month.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
Due personal circumstances I sadly can't be present at the GLAMwiki
Conference in Tel Aviv this year.
My question for everyone going there is to help promote the newsletter *This
Month in GLAM* is more people share there stories, best practices and
initiatives so we all can learn from it.

Thanks!
