Dear all,
as a reminder, we will have an irc meeting this evening at 22:30 CEST (20:30 UTC) in #wikilovesmonuments on Freenode (http://webchat.freenode.net or through your favorite IRC client).
http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WLM-July-IRC-meeting contains a preliminary agenda - I will probably mix up the order and emphasize some points there, so keep an eye on it and add points if you think something needs to be discussed. If you have very specific questions, you can also put them there.
The meeting should take no longer than one hour, so I hope you all bear with me and help me keep the agenda and time. Of course you can hang out in the channel before the meeting, and ask some input.
Some important points I expect input on from many people:
* Who should be in the European jury? I want suggestions! You can put them in the etherpad if you like. * Nice prizes for the European contest? Same.
We need to start making some decisions here, so even if you can't be there, suggest!
Best,
Lodewijk
I don´t know what´s going one i Norway. I offered to help in april, but I don´t think Jørund Leknes want me to. I told him that i have been on the mailinglist all the time and could help . What is worring me is that no one in the Norwegian Wikipedia is working with this, an Leknes has only a few editings in the Wiki and don´t know the wiki-comunity. You say "it is too late now to start something from scratch" and that is what they are doing.
There are no lists. They will use a dump of this: http://www.kulturminnesok.no/ who has 100 000 articles. They have not asked anyone to make the lists out of the dump. In Norway it´s summer hollydays until middle of august.
But we can hope.

Hi Nina and everyone else. :) I'll take this as an opportunity to inform you all on the status of WLM in Norway. I have benefited from advice from both Lodewijk and Maarten.
First of all - I am not organising this on my own in Norway. I am on the board of Wikimedia Norway, and the board appointed me to lead the work with WLM in Norway. But the whole board of Wikimedia Norway is involved in the work. H@r@ld have agreed to work together with me on processing the dump into lists. But most importantly we need the dumps with the proper licence. That have been our main target lately, and I think we will have a final decision during the coming week.
Fortidsminneforeningen (The Society for Preservation of Norwegian Ancient Monuments) have agreed to be a partner with WMNO for WLM in Norway. We have contacted sponsors.
I am still confident that we can make it to a good WLM in Norway.
Regards, Jørund Leknes Board member wikimedia Norway
Hi Jorund,
(sorry for not getting the right o) thanks for the update! Just to give Nina's remarks a little contest, the quote she gave is from me, when I was making a general remark about approaching European sponsors (big companies that need usually a lot of time to make a decision).
It is a very tight schedule to organize something, but I definitely hope it can work out. Jorund is right that the first priority lies with the database to create the lists - besides that cooperation with that organization is helpful in many other ways. It is good that there are also contacts with other partners.
Glad to hear that Nina wants to help Jorund, I'm sure that once the contacts with the partners are ongoing there is plenty of stuff to do, and your help will be appreciated!
Jorund: please let us know if there is any way we can help!
Best regards,
Lodewijk
