Wikimania Budget (related to chapters and WMF)
by Itzik Edri 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi, I know it may be too early to ask that, but I promise to send another notification related this issue in the coming months :) We started last year to make the Wikimania costs more transparent. Wikimania is our biggest and the most expensive project. To ask our self "how much Wikimania costs" we can't only look on the project budget, as the total cost involve also scholarships (from WMF and chapters) and delegations of the chapters and the WMF. We have tracking pages on Meta about Wikimania 2011<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2011/Budget>and Wikimania 2012 <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget> (sadly the organizer team of 2012 didn't updated their costs till now...), and I opened a new page for Wikimania 2013<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget> . So again, I know to some of you this is too early to put the costs (although the size of the chapters and WMF delegation is known and could be update also now) - but if you can, do it now. If now, remember to do it what you have the numbers. The data requested is your chapter\wmf delegation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget#Delegations> and the number of scholarships<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/2013>your chapters gave. Thanks, Itzik

feedback from trans and genderqueer participants
by Sumana Harihareswara 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Dear Wikimedia community: I would like to help provide feedback for Wikimania 2013 and 2014 organizers regarding genderqueer and trans* Wikimedians' experience of Wikimania (especially on the topics of registration, accommodations, t-shirts, and other parts of Wikimania where gender comes up). If you have that kind of feedback for the organizers but would prefer to submit it anonymously, I'm happy to help by posting it on the Feedback pages on your behalf and without your name. (Of course, if you would like to post feedback yourself, feel free! This is just an offer to help out those who want to offer suggestions or criticism but don't feel comfortable publicly outing themselves.) -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation P.S. I am a straight cisgender woman, but attempt to help my communities support [[QUILTBAG]] members. Hope this is helpful.

Re: [Wikimania-l] WMHK Videos?

The people who couldn't attend Wikimania, and the people who were attending other sessions in the same timeslot, would all benefit so very much! The schedule page could be an awesome Table of Contents, but currently it leads to a lot of "teasers"... https://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule Also Slides - Much thanks to those of you who've added your slides! If you haven't yet, please do so. If they're uploaded elsewhere, please also add them to commons (for future preservation, in case prezi etc disappear), and group them in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2013_presentation_sli… Thanks!

Dates for London difficult to find online
by Andrew Garrett 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hey everyone, The Wikimania London website is looking great – I'm pretty excited about what I'm sure will be an amazing conference. One quick suggestion, though. I keep googling "Wikimania 2014 dates", and spend five minutes each time trying to find the dates. If the dates from the bid are the set ones, then could they be put somewhere prominent on the front page? If not, could we have something there noting that there are no final dates? I'm trying to plan ahead and perenially forgetting the dates is tricky! :) Thanks, and keep up the good work! — Andrew Garrett

Fwd: Etherpad Lite labs instance going down in two weeks - backup time
by Sumana Harihareswara 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Thanks to Mark Holmquist for maintaining http://etherpad.wmflabs.org for the past long while. It is going down in 2 weeks, so please retrieve your text. I recommend that you: * go into your browser history * search it for etherpad.wmflabs.org * go to each of those pads and copy-and-paste the content someplace, preferably on a public wiki, even if it's just in your userspace * replace the content of the Etherpad with a link to the wiki page you've moved the text to And just as a reminder: Etherpad is not a production-level service, and therefore any data within an etherpad should be considered both public and able to disappear at any time. This is one reason I recommend that people use Etherpads for short-term defined collaboration sessions, and frequently do backups, and always archive documents to a wiki after a session ends. -Sumana -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Wikitech-l] Etherpad Lite labs instance going down in two weeks - backup time Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:02:13 -0700 From: Mark Holmquist <mtraceur(a)member.fsf.org> Reply-To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, engineering(a)lists.wikimedia.org, labs-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org The day we have all equally hoped for and dreaded is come to pass: Etherpad Lite has now replaced Etherpad "Classic" in production, and the labs instance is on its way out. This is my as-wide-as-possible email warning to say that everything on the labs instance, as really should have been expected, is going to be gone soon. Not immediately - we intend to give you two weeks to get your important data off the instance and onto the new one at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ - but you should _absolutely_ be moving things as soon as possible. We will also keep a data dump around, in case anything else needs to get pulled out of the pads, but I would suggest not relying on that if you don't have to. And in the future: If a URL has "wmflabs.org" in it...don't put anything, ANYTHING, important there. The purpose of labs is to let us experiment with new technology without having to worry about reliability. Thanks so much for your help and understanding in the course of this migration. tl;dr: http://etherpad.wmflabs.org is going down in 2 weeks, get yer stuff off it. -- Mark Holmquist Software Engineer, Multimedia Wikimedia Foundation mtraceur(a)member.fsf.org https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:MHolmquist _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
