Dear All, this is just to remind you that the deadline for filling out the calendars order form is next Wednesday, November 9, 00:00 (UTC). Up to now, I have received the orders from 11 out of 19 countries and autonomous communities :-) participating in this years' Wiki Loves Monuments (625 calendars ordered in total). I still miss the orders from the following countries and communities: * Andorra; * Austria; * Belgium; * Catalonia; * France; * Luxembourg; * Norway; * Switzerland. Please make sure to fill the order form before the deadline; it is available at <http://goo.gl/b2T20>. PS We'll definitely need to think about organising the budget for the shipping costs in the upcoming days; any ideas how to solve this situation? Thanks, -- Tomasz Kozłowski | [[user:odder]]

Hi Sylvain, answering your first question: The calendars will be language-neutral, which means that: * the front cover will display the names of the contest in the languages of the participating countries and the WLM logo (or maybe a collage); * the back cover will have short information about the licencing and the contest in the languages of all participating countries; * the calendar pages will be language-neutral, the names of the months and of the days will be replaced by numbers and a clear column-styled table; * the descriptions of the winning images will be given in the language of the country from which the image comes and in English. I thought that we could ship the calendars around December 5-6, but I've been later told that the results will be announced by the end of November, so hopefully the calendars will be received around the half of December (or slightly before the Christmas) -- *if* we have a budget for the shipment, of course. Regards, -- Tomasz Kozłowski | [[user:odder]]

Minor correction: The results will be announced by December 9/10, but the designer will get the winners as soon as the jury finds them out :) Of course under strict embargo! ;-) Best, Lodewijk No dia 3 de Novembro de 2011 15:20, Tomasz Kozłowski &lt;odder.wiki(a)gmail.com&gt; escreveu:

Dear All, I'd like to thank you for filling out the calendars order form. With Belgium and Luxembourg being the last countries :-) I've finally collected all the orders. In total, we have ordered a _massive_ sum of 1,000 (a thousand) calendars -- hurray! :-) I have, however, learned that there are some other organisations (who are not to be named as of yet) willing to order our calendars, so if you know anybody who might be interested in ordering them, too, please let me know off-list. I'll be placing the order in the upcoming days, and in order to collect the money for the remaining ~400 calendars, I'll be contacting all the contact people privately, off-list, with all the payment information, so please stay tuned! :-) Having written that, I would like you to think about the budget for shipping the calendars to all the participating countries; for now, we are going to ship the calendars to 14 different places around Europe (excluding Belgium & Luxembourg, Andorra and, for obvious reasons, Poland), which is going to cost us about €270-300, depending mainly on the cost of the euro (€), which has been significantly rising for the past few months (the more expensive the euro is, the better for us :). As agreed upon our working meeting in Berlin in May, up to now, all the European-wide Wiki Loves Monuments expenses have been covered by either Wikimedia Germany, Wikimedia Netherlands or Wikimedia Poland. This time, however, I am counting on the willingness of the other chapters to chip-in to cover these expenses :-)) I hope that we can reach an agreement over this case in the upcoming two-three weeks. All comments and questions are, as always, welcomed. Again, thanks! -- Tomasz Kozłowski | [[user:odder]]

I think multilingual would be great if possible (if it is only the name of the month & day of the week, that should be doable, the credits would become a tad more challanging unless you work with graphical icons - ie a camera for author etc) and otherwise we'd have to work in English as our working langauge probably. I assume we won't get all beautiful calendars in Polish ;) Personally I would rather have it in English/multilingual than in Dutch - because the Dutch doesn't feel so international :) (the french might see that differently and prefer the Dutch) Lodewijk No dia 19 de Outubro de 2011 11:30, Sylvain Boissel < sylvainboissel(a)gmail.com&gt; escreveu:
