Yes, i will post to this list once it is done. Some numbers for the sake of ETA: the total size is 1.5 TB. It takes about 6 hours per GB, so 1500 *6 = 9000 hours. 9000 hours are 375 days... I'm going to throw more horse power at the workers and parallel the work, so i estimate it will take about 1/12 of this time, or a month from now. Will keep you posted !

I'm the process of uploading the entire RAW videos to commons, the problem is those files are huge, and takes hours on labs to process and upload. I'll update once done.

WM2014 video labels

Are all the WM2014 videos up? If so, is the reason some appear to be missing possibly the existence of those several-hour videos with names such as "0bbca578 b967 4a27 9de2 3bafb500cc50" and "4ca853b7 cafa 436d 8031 70499c143cd1"? https://www.youtube.com/user/WikimaniaLondon/videos Who has access to the account and can rename them to reflect the name of the programme session they are recordings of?

This was posted on wikimedia-l, but I figured it should also go to this list. Ellie Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:21:10 -0300 From: Maria Cruz <mcruz(a)wikimedia.org> To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2014 Evaluation Survey Results Posted! Message-ID: <CAM1n8o_SvcP3TGQB6u-+t0dGNOnkEwKSzqymNpkM1akF=ZATCg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 *tl;dr: *You can find the results of the Wikimania 2014 Evaluation Survey on Wikimedia Commons *[1]* Greetings, Today we posted a slide deck summarizing data from the Wikimania evaluation survey from this year’s event in London. The survey was a collaborative effort of the Wikimania Conference and Hackathon organizers and the WMF Learning and Evaluation team. Conferences and hackathons had been identified as key programs to develop evaluation insight. Given the opportunity to collaborate on an evaluation survey, WMF team members partnered with conference and hackathon organizers to provide the technical support to complete the survey project. This first survey offers a look into the processes and outcomes of the conference. It is intended as a means for participants to share what they got out of the conference and a platform to collect information on how we can improve future conferences and their evaluation. We have released a basic data summary and meta page with brief highlights of the survey and link to a pdf slide deck published to Commons *[1]*. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Case_studies/Wikimania_Lo… == Methodology == * Online survey via Qualtrics *[2]* * Data collection: ** August 10th – September 15th, 2014 ** Conference participants: 1520 ** Survey Respondents: n=792 (52% of conference participants) === The Conference Overall === * Participants were highly satisfied with the conference overall. * 91% of respondents rated the conference as "Good" (48%) or "Excellent" (43%) * 87% indicated their expectations had been "met" (48%) or "exceeded" (39%) * The most named benefits of attending Wikimania were meeting people and finding out about projects. Favorite talks: 1. Creative Ways to Alienate Women Online: A How To Guide for Wikipedians (by Steven Walling and Maryana Pinchuk) 2. Which Law Applies to Wikipedia (by Tobias Lutzi) 3. Raph Koster: A Theory of Fun 4. Jack Andraka 5. Education (by members of the Wiki Ed Foundation and Education Collaborative) Please visit the page *[3]* for basic details or follow the links to the slide deck *[1]*. The complete survey data are available upon request and will be used by both the conference and the hackathon planning groups for their use in planning for future events and their evaluation. In addition, the Learning and Evaluation team will also work to review and incorporate these results, along with evaluation data from other conferences, in the second round of Program Evaluation reports currently in progress. The conference financial report is also underway, however, it will also be available sometime in the new year. Keep an eye out for these additional points of reporting to become available in early 2015! On behalf of all who have collaborated in this evaluation survey, those who helped with its development, the 792 participants who completed it, and those involved in the its analysis, and now, interpretation: thank you for your time, attention, and support! We are happy to be part in this collective learning about Wikimedia conferences and hackathons. Your questions are welcome, and encouraged, on the talk page. *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> *[1] Summary Slide Deck* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimania_2014_Participant_Survey_-… *[2] Survey Items* https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/spreadsheets/d/1b3Qp-l8HU4WYFX2lyAC… *[3] Overview Page* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Case_studies/Wikimania_Lo…

by Ellie Young 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

On behalf of the Wikimania Jury Committee, we would like to let the community know that the deadline for receiving bids to host Wikimania in 2016 has passed. Of the 6 unofficial bids that were listed, only two were deemed qualified for our review: Esino Lario, Italy and Manila, Philippines. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids#Bids Between now and December 3, the jury committee and community at large has an opportunity to reach out to these two bid teams with feedback and questions. This can be done via the proposal's talk page, holding a public meeting with a bidder on IRC (#wikimaniaconnect channel on Freenode); or via other personal means as you see fit. After December 3, the jury committee will further evaluate and discuss the bids with the prospective hosts. A decision and recommendation will be made by mid-December to the WMF and Wikimania Steering Committee.
