We tweeted a lot as it was happening - this
<https://twitter.com/Wikimedia/status/657606398520397829> was probably the

propose scheduling these for in the morning. Thoughts?
Facebook for Saturday morning:
On Friday Wikipedians everywhere were honored on the world's stage in
Spain. The Princess of Asturias Foundation presented Wikipedia with an
award for being an “important example of international, democratic, open
and participatory cooperation” and took note of the thousands of volunteers
who “selflessly” contribute to the Wikimedia projects.

Hello everyone (adding comms into this because this may be pertinent as
well):
Yesterday, the #NEWPALMYRA project launched a new online community platform
and data repository dedicated to the capture, preservation, sharing, and
creative reuse of data about the ancient city of Palmyra. Furthermore, the
collected data will be released into the public domain under a Creative
Commons Zero license at NewPalmyra.org. We, along with MIT Media Lab, EFF,
Mozilla, and others are listed as supporters.
On their landing page, you can download the Temple of Bel 3D model and it
includes a call for participation, specifically asking users to contribute
info and media about Palmyra to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.
Thank you for reviewing and love to hear your comments.

Hey Pete!
Not to worry, we are here to help. There's an easy (if apparently obscure)
