by Aphaia 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Welcome to issue 2 of The Babylonian, the WMF translation subcommittee update for March, 2007. Thanks to all who cooperated on the latest translation, including the fundraising campaign, several press releases and Wikimania stuffs. === What's up === # Coming events # Requests ongoing # News # Thank yous === Coming events === Wikimania 2007 is coming soon, and you will get a bunch of information about it - call for participation, registration and scholarship. Already, some materials have been requested for translation. Your help will be very much appreciated. Transcom is planning to have a regular open meeting each month. The next open meeting is planned to be on the IRC channel, irc://irc.freenode.com/wikimedia-translation on March 9 (Friday), at 0800 UTC. It is in the morning for Europeans, and the evening for East Asians and Australians. === Ongoing requests === ==== Wikimania - Call for participation ==== Original: http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation Requested: From English to any other. More info: [[Wmania:Wikimania:Translation#Call for Participation]] Description: Call for participation in Wikimania 2007 Contact: Hsiang-Tai Chien [[Wmania:Htchien]] http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Htchien ==== Visa information ==== Original: http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Visas Requested: From English to any other. More info: [[Wmania:Wikimania:Translation#Visa information]] Description: Visa information to visit Taiwan, related to Wikimania 2007 Contact: Hsiang-Tai Chien [[Wmania:Htchien]] http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Htchien From [[Wmania:Wikimania:Translation]], you may find other requests; the website is now growing and becoming more informative day by day, creating new translation requests. http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Translation ==== Press release: Advisory Board ==== Original: http://wikimaniafoundationwebsite/Press_releases/Advisory_Board Now available in: English, 日本語 Requested in: Français, Español, 中文, Русский, Português... Workplace: [[m:Wikimedia press releases/Advisory Board]] URL: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_press_releases/Advisory_Board Description: Press release about Advisory Board, chosen in January 2007. Further description may be found at http://wikimaniafoundationwebsite/Advisory_Board You can find other requests, new and old, on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/TR === Translation news === In January, Wikimedia Foundation announced the employment of Sandra Ordonez as Communications Manager. She works at the office in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. You may communicate with her in English or Spanish. On IRC and meta, she is known as Wiki_Blue. Sandy and Transcom had a meeting on February 26 for two hours on IRC, and all were happy to have a prolific discussion in a cheerful mood. The Wikimania website needs your help. Please visit [[Wmania:Wikimania:Translation]]. All languages are welcome - currently, French and German translators are strongly needed. http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Translation On meta there are several pages about translation. Even for requests, someone goes to [[m:TR]], another goes to [[m:Translations]]. And some people just get lost. To avoid duplications and make things simpler, we are trying to centralize the requests page, aiming to have the new page ready by the 1st of April. Experiments are going on [[m:User:Aphaia/Sandbox]], and all your comments will be welcome. You can edit it, the same as other pages - that's a wiki, anyway. <grin> === Thank yous === The fundraising campaign has successfully ended, and we raised the most money the Foundation has ever made. It was also a big rush of translation requests, new fundraising forms, begging letters, and other tiny elements. I would like to thank all of you, the translators for your help, not only as a coordinator but also as a user of the Wikimedia projects. As Florence Devouard (Anthere) said in the recent Foundation press statement*, Wikipedia as well as all the other Wikimedia projects has become stronger and more stable, and therefore still needs your help. I daresay "much more than before" rather than "as always", because we are now doing what has never been done before - to have the whole world world able to access this knowledge is an ever-growing challenge. The press statement mentioned above is now available in ten languages on the official website, thanks to many translators. * URL: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_statements/Wikipedia%2C_Stronger_… ------------------------------------------ Editor(s): Aphaia Copyeditor(s): Shimgray Special thanks to: Hsiang-Tai Chein E-mail: translation AT wikimedia DOT org ------------------------------------------ * This is a newsletter of the Translation subcommittee, aiming to help translation efforts related to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Hello, we Wikimania coordinators will very appreciate your translation of the message following, and also re-distributions to your favorite mailinglists. Even a brief note with a link to the full CfP on the Wikimania website will be appreciated. Cheers, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jakob Voss <jakob.voss(a)nichtich.de> Date: Mar 2, 2007 2:11 AM Subject: [Foundation-l] Wikimania 2007: Call for Participation To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing list <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Please circulate this call among Wikimedia communities, researchers and other people that may be interested! This call is also online at http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation == Wikimania 2007: Call for Participation == === About Wikimania === Wikimania is an annual global event devoted to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia Foundation projects. It is a community event, which is also open to the public and to scientists. Wikimania is a place for editors and users of the Wikimedia projects around the globe (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary, and Wikiversity) to gather, to meet each other, to exchange ideas, and to report on research and projects. This year's conference will be held from August 3-5, 2007 in Taipei, Taiwan at Chien Tan Overseas Youth Activity Center <http://www.cyh.org.tw/center/center_bu.php?loginno=&buid=B>. We are accepting submissions for posters, presentations, workshops, and discussion groups. We are also accepting nominations for speakers and speaker panels, and suggestions for other activities. Please note the details below and be bold in your submissions! === Important dates === * 1 March – 30 April: Submission * 1 May – 31 May: Feedback and notification of acceptance * 3 – 5 Aug 2007 : Wikimania === Conference Themes === Submissions should address one or more of the following themes: * Wikimedia Communities – Interesting projects and particularities within the communities (we explicitly invite you to present your local Wikimedia project's community!); policy creation within individual projects; conflict resolution and community dynamics; reputation and identity; multilingualism, languages and cultures; social studies. * Free Content – Open access to information; ways to gather and distribute free knowledge, usage of the Wikimedia projects in education, journalism, research; ways to improve content quality and usability; copyright laws and other legal areas that interfere with Wikimedia projects. * Technical infrastructure – Issues related to Mediawiki development and extensions; Wikimedia hardware layout; new ideas for development (including usable case studies from other wikis or similar projects). Your topic must be related to Wikimedia projects and its communities or to the creation of free content in general. If your topic does not cover free content creation and communities but wikis or communities in other applications then the WikiSym 2007 conference <http://www.wikisym.org/ws2007/> (October 21-23, 2007, Montreal) or a Recent Changes camp might better suit. === Types of Submissions === We are seeking submissions for * presentations (10–30 minute talks with optional short or full papers) * posters (printed presentations or visual displays that can stand on their own) * workshops (30–120 minute session with more involvement of the audience) * panels (group of 2-5 speakers to discuss on a specific subject) * Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) (45-60 minutes informal meetup of group discussion on a particular topic) * artistic artifacts (plays, competitions, comedy, visualizations, or other representations of some aspect of the projects) Furthermore you may leave ideas, comment, and suggestions at the public wiki page <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program_Ideas>. === Guidelines === Wikimania is organized by volunteers, so please help us to minimize wasted effort by following these guidelines carefully before submitting and be sure not to forget anything that is mentioned here. All submissions must explicitly include the following: * an English title * a short English abstract of 50 to 100 words. The abstracts should be provided as plain text, and not as file attachments. This abstract will be used as public description of your submission in the conference program * a detailed description (or full paper) of at least one page (300 words or more). This description will not be published unless you want it, but used for reviewing your submission. Give an overview of the areas to be covered or taught. State clearly the relevance to the Wikimedia projects and whether submission concerns a specific wiki project. You may use any language, but we strongly suggest English or Chinese. Full descriptions may include a link to a full paper or slides in HTML or PDF, if available. * full name, email address, and a short bio of 1–3 sentences for each author. You may also add wiki usernames and nicknames. * the type of submission (presentation, poster, workshop, panel, BoF, artistic) * the language(s) you are going to talk in (or the language of your poster) Please tell us with your submission whether you will attend to Wikimania (a) surely, (b) probably, (c) only if your submission is accepted, or (d) only if you manage to get further funding. It may also help to add yourself to the public list of attendees at <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Attendees>. Additionally you must specify: * the target audience you are going to reach and what previous knowledge is needed * special requirements (such as equipment for a workshop or panel) if needed * images or sketches of the poster or artistic artifact if available * for panel submissions short biographies of each suggested panelist * whether the presentation is intended to be a specific length. * BoF proposals should describe the significance of and community interest in the topic, and name the proposed discussion leader(s). Please note that all submissions must be dual licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.2 or later and the Creative Commons Attribution License. Once you are sure you have included all of the required information, please send your submission by the respective deadline through our submission system <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submission>, which will be available at the Wikimania 2007 website. Please do not send submissions by email. For poster sessions <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Poster_session> there are additional guidelines. Before the main conference there will also be informal Hacking days <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hacking_days> for MediaWiki developers who are familiar with the software. If you need help for translating your work please visit our translation help page. Questions, but not submissions, may be directed to cfp(a)wikimedia.org. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * habent enim emolumentum in labore suo *

En esta lista de traductores de Wikimedia siempre estamos ansiosos por tener nuevos voluntarios que nos ayuden a difundir la enorme cantidad de novedades que ocurren en los proyectos Wikimedia. Puedes visitar http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translations y http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/TR para conocer en lo que estamos trabajando actualmente. Necesitamos gente que hable todos los idiomas, y quizás traducir artículos del italiano al español o viceversa puede sernos de gran ayuda. La mayoría de los textos a traducir están escritos originalmente en inglés, pero muchas veces es de gran ayuda para los traductores de lenguas romances el tener un modelo en alguno de esos idiomas para una mejor traducción. A todo esto, ¿participas en alguno de los proyectos en español, por ejemplo Wikipedia? Tenemos muy pocos participantes cubanos y sería muy bueno dar un impulso para tener editores de tu país. Puedes plantear en esta lista tus dudas y pedir apoyo. Habemos algunos listeros que hablamos español y algunos que hablan italiano. Así que siempre serás bienvenido y tendrás ayuda. Un saludo cordial -- Juan David Ruiz
