Support for my UK Transit visa application
by Houcemeddine A. Turki 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Dear all, I thank you for your efforts. I applied today for my UK transit visa so that I can travel to Stockholm through London. They said me that they will answer me within 15 working days. However, I will be travelling to attend Wikimania on August 15, 2019. I ask if someone can interfere so that my visa application can be fastly processed. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki (he/him) Medical Student, Faculty of Medicine of Sfax, University of Sfax, Tunisia Undergraduate Researcher, UR12SP36 GLAM and Education Coordinator, Wikimedia TN User Group Member, WikiResearch Tunisia Member, Wiki Project Med Member, WikiIndaba Steering Committee Member, Wikimedia and Library User Group Steering Committee Co-Founder, WikiLingua Maghreb Founder, TunSci ____________________ +21629499418

Free books for a university in your city/country
by Leila Zia 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

[writing with my volunteer hat on.] Hi all, This email is not Wikimedia related, but I still would like to send it to those who will attend Wikimania. I hope it's fine to share this here. I will bring somewhere between 50-100 (depending on weight) Web/Data Mining/Algorithms related books (all in English) with me when I attend Wikimania next week. I will give these books for free to some folks who accept to take them back to a university in their country as long as the country is considered undeserved and the university is not very well resourced. As I may get more than 2-3 responses, here's the process I'd like to follow: If you're interested to be the person who takes some books back to a university in your country, please send me offlist the following information: * How many books (how heavy:) can you take with you back to your country? * Which university (and which library) do you intend to donate the books to? Name, city, country. I will then review this information with Ricardo Baeza-Yates [1] and we choose a few universities from the list we gather to donate the books to through you. I need to hear from you no later than August 10 if you're interested to be considered for receiving some books. Thanks, Leila [1] In our volunteer times, we're co-presidents of a non-profit organization and the organization has received the books from the publishers (Cambridge, Springer, Morgan & Claypool).

Dear Ms., I thank you for your answer. We are lacking reference books in the University of Sfax, Tunisia. I will be honoured if you donate 10 reference books to our university.

Dear all, I thank you for your efforts. I found today links for live streaming of several Wikimania spaces. However, I did not find a link to the live streaming of Tu's sessions. I ask if you can provide such a YouTube link.

Feedback on Wikimania Tutorial: Discovering and Analyzing Wikimedia Images
by Miriam Redi 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Hi All, Looking forward to seeing and meeting you at Wikimania in 2 weeks! Just a quick note - I am putting together a tutorial on automated image classification techniques for Commons [1], as part of the Research Space program at Wikimania [2], and I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. If you are not interested in these topics, feel free to ignore the rest of this email! In the tutorial page [1], you can find a general idea of the topics covered by the session, like tools to find, download, process, and classify images in Wikimedia spaces, but I am happy to adapt the content of the session based on your feedback! So please feel free to add suggestions or a wishlist for this tutorial on the discussion page, and/or subscribe on the page if you'd like to join! Best, Miriam [1] https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Research/Discovering_and_Analyzin… [2] https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Research
