FYI. It's still not live for everybody, but there will be plenty of
time to test.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Easy upload of Flickr photos to Commons
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Drecodeam(a)gmail.com
I hereby celebrate that we've merged Ankur Anand's (drecodeam's) Flickr
integration work into UploadWizard, and that administrators on Commons
can now upload photos directly from Flickr. See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28731 .
Once we've shaken this out on the live site, I believe we'll be able to
open it up so all users will be able to upload multiple images at once
from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons. I can only imagine how great this
will be for Wiki Loves Monuments next year. :-) Thanks to Ankur, Ryan
Kaldari, Mark Holmquist, and everyone else who worked on this!
The Gerrit changeset that went through 26 patchsets (if at first you
don't succeed, try, try again): https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/12269/
Ankur worked on this as part of his 2012 Google Summer of Code project.
His HTML5 drag-and-drop support and geolocation metadata import
for UploadWizard, still need polish before we can merge them:

Also, our blog post about this year's GSoC students is now re-posted on
the Google open source blog:

Dear all,
it will be great if the winning images are covered in the main page of
Wikimedia Commons. Not images, but at-least that the winners of WLM is
announced. Something like that!

*The Hindu : "Indians win in Wiki mega photo contest"*
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/indians-win-in-wiki-mega-p…http://www.twitpic.com/bjqjvm ( Print coverage) - Large coverage on rear
cover page !!
*WLM beat its own record this year with more than 3,50,000 images
Two photographs sent by Indians have won the first and sixth places in what
Guinness World Records has called the largest photo competition. Called
‘Wiki Loves Monuments 2012!’ (WLM), the online competition was organised by
Wikipedians all over the world, Karthik Nadar, secretary and Board member,
Executive Committee, Wikimedia India Chapter, told The Hindu .
Pranav Singh’s photo of Safdarjung’s tomb in New Delhi secured the first
place internationally while Narender Kumar’s photo of the Taj Mahal got the
sixth place. The two photos had been rated ninth and first respectively in
the competition held at the India level. Other Indian finalists sent photos
of the country’s tombs, temples and military forts. Narender Kumar told The
Hindu that most photos of the Taj are “touristy,” so he took an unusual
angle. “Luckily, there was foggy weather,” he said.
A record
While WLM had set the Guinness record for the world’s largest photo contest
with 1,68,208 images in 2011, it beat its own record this year with more
than 3,50,000 images.
India participated for the first time in the competition this year. It sent
the highest number of participants, representing 15 per cent of the 15,000
total contributors from around the world. Over 2,200 photographers
contributed nearly 16,000 photos, according to sources in Wikimedia India
Chapter.
There is no free-to-use image of more than 99 per cent of monuments in
India listed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The aim of the
contest was to encourage people to contribute photos to Wikimedia Commons,
said Mr. Nadar. The Wikimedia Commons is a sister project of Wikipedia. It
is a media file repository that makes available freely licensed educational
content (such as images, sound and video clips) to everyone in the world.
It acts as a common repository for various projects of the Wikimedia
Foundation, including Wikipedia. (Wikipedia.org )
He said anyone could use the photos from the Commons, including for
commercial purposes provided the photographer’s name was mentioned. A
‘Photo Walk’ was organised in Mumbai in September (when the contest was on)
during which participants took photos for the contest.
Naveen Francis, former secretary and board member, Wikimedia India chapter,
told The Hindu that participation from India was “almost uniform” with
photos coming from contestants from across the country. The highest
participation was from Delhi, with more photos taken of the Taj Mahal and
the Qutub Minar. Mumbai followed with photos of Gateway of India.
Mr. Francis said contestants were asked to photograph those monuments
recognised by the ASI. The focus was on structures of national and
international importance. However, some contestants sent photos of
monuments not recognised by the ASI. Those were excluded from the
competition. However, they will be used in Wiki Voyage, a new travel
website that has launched recently.
The international jury considered 324 images from 33 participating
countries in the finale. There were 10 nominations from each participating
country for the international round. The Indian jury for the country round
had six jury members, who nominated 10 photos from 16,000. Three
professional photographers, Gauri Gill, Anup Mathew Thomas and Ryan Lobo,
made up the team along with three Wikipedians Arun Ganesh, Kiran Ravikumar,
and Sreejith K. *

Hello all you organizers of WLM,
these days we will announce the international winners that will give their
images to the international WLM calendar. The printing
house<http://www.dieumweltdruckerei.de>is ready for print. You'll find
the order form at ourcommons
page<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Calenda…>ready
to fill in. Please do so, sign it and send it until Tuesday 4th of
December 06:00 GTZ to info(a)dieumweltdruckerei.de keyword "WLM calendar".
You may enclose Your specific logo, if no logo file is added to the email
to the printing house your copies will show the simple wikimedia logo
<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Wikimedia_logo_text_RGB.svg>on the last
page.
@WMAT,WMSE;WMDE and WMNL: I have forwarded the orders of WMNL, WMAT, WMSE
and WMDE including their logos to the printing house. But please do confirm
your order never the less to make it formally binding.
For those who feel it will be more efficient to print their copies of the
international WLM calendars in their own countries, we will upload the
printing file the coming week. As soon as the winners are officially
announced.
Technical details to the calendars:
- each calendar is full color 14 pages in A4 landscape
- each unit comes in an solid envelope ready for sending as post mail
- It weighs 400 gr and measures 33 X 23 cm each unit
- The prize per unit is 2.95€ net
It was impossible to calculate the final prize including possible taxes and
freight in for hand as the costs differ to much from country to country and
is related to the number of copies. So this remains a lack of information,
that you will have to complete.I do apologize. When the printing house
(dieUmweltdruckerei) knows the exact number you like to order and the
destination, they will be able to tell you the fare.
All participating countries will receive - thanks to the generous offer of
the printing house dieUmweltdruckerei - 15 free copies to give them to
whom they may decide and in case one of the international winners is from
their country an extra copy for him or her. If You do not want to have more
copies than those, you do not need to do anything. The calendars will come
to the address that you have told us before hand.
We will start the shipping-process the 8th December. It may take until the
end of the year until the calendars reach you. Please inform us, as soon as
you get them.
In case of any question or remark please feel to turn to me "Barbara
Fischer" barbara.fischer(a)wikimedia.de. The orders should be sent directly
to info(a)dieUmweltdruckerei.de. Please do not forget the key word "WLM
Calendar"
By the way the calendars on top of showing real brilliant photos are
produced under high ecological standards. Wiki loves Monuments and cares
for our climate.
