Hello, How do you plan to handle the language question for the days and months names ? Everything in English ? Multilingual calendars (with at last 16 languages spoken in the participating countries, not sure this can be made...) ? Print X calendars in Polish, Y in English, Z in French and so on ? Sylvain. 2011/10/19 Tomasz Kozłowski <odder.wiki(a)gmail.com>

2011/10/19 Lodewijk <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org>rg>: I guess we can make a calendar with digits and colors only on internal pages + covers with text in all 16 languages. On front cover there can be "Wiki Loves Monuments" translated to 15 other languages scattered semi-randomly on the page with a logo behind it. Bac cover can contain CC-BY-SA required credits in all 16 languages printed with small characters + maybe short description what WLM is about also in 16 languages. Internal pages can be simply "big numbered" Big 1 for January, Big 2 for February, etc. without printing names of months which are obvious for erybody... Then days can be simply put with numbers only in clear weekly table with saturdays and sundays in different colors, but no names of the weekdays, wich are also obvious. Finally we can mark International Wikipedia Day in some special way. As all pictures are CC-BY-SA - there is no need to mark each of them on internal pages. We can only put small "signature" of the author (usually nickname from Commons), and CC-BY-SA symbol on the back-cover. That would easily make language-neutral project. -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz

2011/10/19 Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemowiki(a)gmail.com>om>: And Polish calendar: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kalendarz_Wikimedia_2009.pdf This one has some "internationalisations". I gues there are more wik-calendars designes all around :-) -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz

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]]
