Proposed social media postings for RIPE Atlas blog post

by Guillaume Paumier

Hi folks, Twitter: Read how a collaboration with #RIPEAtlas helped improve the performance of Wikimedia sites: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/09/how-ripe-atlas-helped-wikipedia-users/ Facebook/Google+: Wikimedia recently collaborated with the RIPE Network Coordination Centre on a project to measure the delivery of Wikimedia sites to users in Asia and elsewhere using our current infrastructure. Together, they identified ways to decrease latency and improve performance for users around the world. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/09/how-ripe-atlas-helped-wikipedia-users/ -- Guillaume Paumier

Check out the Signpost's interview with them: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/ - f/g: "Above everything, though, the end goal is to make Wikipedia’s content better."

SM for the Wiknics?

by Jeremy Baron

See e.g. https://twitter.com/wikimedianyc/status/484527870610771968 Maybe we could have some tweets pointing to the overall, multi-city page? Keep in mind they aren't all on the same date. So maybe a couple this week and then one more in a week? and then maybe when new england tweets you can RT. (New England is more than a month after the rest) -Jeremy
