Facebook
Crowd2Map Tanzania <https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/> project was one of the 7 projects selected in the <http://openseventeen.org/> Open Seventeen challenge, which rallies the public to use open data as a means of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as proposed but the UN in September 2015! We are now excited to carry on with the help of O17 partners – Citizen Cyberlab <http://www.citizencyberlab.org/> , The GovLab <http://www.thegovlab.org/> , ONE <http://www.one.org/international/> and SciFabric <http://scifabric.com/> ! We’re tackling Goal 11: creating sustainable cities & communities and Goal 4: education through technology.
As part of the project we are organizing a triple mapping day in Dar+London+Vilnius on Saturday May 7th. This will be a fun female-friendly competition-hackathon between the three "camps", as all will compare the results at the end, and bridge people in the 3 locations via video conference and chat throughout the event. Please get involved and support this grassroots volunteer run project – more information at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551808625147532/
Thanks

Hi Janet -
The most appropriate thing to do is to send the message you'd like us to share to this email:
social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:social-media@lists.wikimedia.org>
Where the tweet/facebook post can be publicly debated before it is shared - the wiki way :)
Hope this helps

Hi
We’ve set up a competition to promote interest in this – with monthly prizes totalling approx. $70 – do you think Wikimedia would have any interest in supporting this please? Or if not anyone else you know of?
Details are here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551808625147532/files/
Thanks

Hi Janet -
Thanks for thinking of me -
IDK if WMF can promote exactly, I'm unclear how this might relate to Wikipedia? Can you explain?

Silly, cool, both? Facebook has turned on Reactions for all users,
<http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/24/technology/facebook-reactions/index.html>
letting you Love and give other reactions to content. (Just hover your
cursor over the Like button to see.)
(I wonder why they didn't turn on Love on Valentine's Day?) Any thoughts on
a post to let people click the Reactions?

Dear Outreachy community,
We have opened applications for the new round of the program and would love
your help spreading the word. Please send the information to your
university department or community group, share it on social networks, or
encourage someone you know to apply. We have a sample e-mail and sample
social network updates you can use available at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2016/MayAugust/SpreadTheWord
Please join us for Twitter chats with #OutreachyChat hashtag at 4pm UTC on
March 1 (11am EST) or at 2am UTC on March 2 (9pm EST on March 1). The goal
of the chats is to increase the visibility of this opportunity and
individual project ideas, and to encourage more people to apply. We will
ask mentors to introduce their organizations and project ideas and past
interns to share their advice and experience. Closer to the chat date, I
will share with you the questions we'll have.
Thanks!
Marina
