সুধী,
উইকিমিডিয়া মেটা-তে বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার দশ বছর পূর্তি আয়োজনের জন্য একটি
গ্র্যান্ট প্রপোজাল[1] তৈরি করা হয়েছে। এটি এখনো খসড়া হিসেবে আছে। কনট্যাক্ট
পার্সন হিসেবে তাতে আমার আর নাহিদ সুলতান ভাইয়ের নাম দেয়া আছে। তাই
অন্যান্যদেরকে অনুরোধ করছি প্রপোজালটিতে এনডোর্সমেন্ট করে দেবার জন্য।
ধন্যবাদ।

আগামীকাল বিকেল ৫.১৫ তেকে ৬.৩০ পর্যন্ত আমাদের একটা জরুরী মিটআপ হবে। যদি আমরা
আসরেই বড় করে দশক পূর্তি করতে চাই তাহরে আমাদের পরস্পরের সঙ্গে দেখা হওয়াটা
জরুরী।
আমি গতকালই ভেবেছিলাম যে, ইভেন্টটা করে ফেলবো কিন্তু ব্যস্ততার কারনে সম্ভব হয়
নি।
প্রোগ্রাম
তারিখ - ২২ আগস্ট ২০১৪. মুক্রবার
সময় বিকেল ৫.১৫ থেকে৬.৩০
স্থান - বিডিওএসএন াফিস, ২১০/২ এলিফেন্ট রোড, শেলটেক নিরিবিলি
(ওখানে একটা কার্পেটে বসার মিটিং রুম আছে)
সম্ভাব্য এজেন্ডা -
১. WMBD -এর ফর্মাল সদস্য সংগ্রহ করার বুদ্ধি,
২. ওযেবসাইট
৩. উইকিম্যানিয়ার অভিজ্ঞতা বিনিময় (৫ জনের কেও যদি আসে)
৪. ১০ বছর পূর্তির একটা খসড়া পরিকল্পনা ঠিক করে সেটি নিয়ে কাজ শুরু করা
৫. পরবর্তী মিটআপের দিনক্ষণ ঠিক করা
ফেসবুক ইভেন্ট
https://www.facebook.com/events/343031075861595/
সবাই একটু সহযোগিতা করলে খবরটা ছড়াবে।
আমি দু:খিত যে, ধুমধাম করে করতে হচ্ছে। তবে, এভাবে না কররে মনে হয় অবলাইন
একটিভিটি কিছুতেই লাইনে আসবে না।
সবাইকে ধন্যবাদ।

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Damon Sicore joins WMF as Vice President of
Engineering
To: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org,
Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear all,
We are excited to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation now has a Vice
President of Engineering. Damon Sicore will be filling this vital role.
Please join us in welcoming him to the team.
The VPE role will be crucial to further developing and maintaining the
technology that supports the very core of the Wikimedia movement, and
ensuring the development, scale, and stability of the MediaWiki
architecture.
Damon joins us as part of planned growth of our product and engineering
teams, first announced in November 2012. As we have grown, we need
dedicated focus on product and engineering as separate departments, to
ensure development of best practices like performance engineering,
continuous delivery, A/B testing, software re-architecture, UI/UX work, and
user research. Erik Moeller, who filled the role of VP for both product and
engineering since 2011, led in the creation of this new role and was
essential to the search process. From today onward, Erik will focus on his
role as VP of Product and Strategy and Deputy Director of the WMF, while
Damon will take over leadership of the Engineering team; both will report
to me as part of the c-level team.
Damon has a unique track record of managing large platform rollouts using
distributed teams like ours, while understanding the essential role of
community contributions and working in a transparent, open source
environment. These skills and experiences will be invaluable in his work
here at the Foundation. It’s unusual to find someone who understands us so
well, and so I want to thank the many people from across the organization,
especially in the engineering, product, and human resources teams, who have
been involved in making this search successful.
We are very happy to have Damon on board. His proven track record of
managing large platform rollouts using distributed teams like ours, while
understanding the essential role of community contributions and working in
a transparent, open source environment, is unique and invaluable as part of
our movement.
We’ll be sending around a copy of the press release shortly. You’ll also be
be able to meet Damon, and ask him questions, this Thursday at our monthly
Metrics Meeting
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings>.
Please join us there!
Please join me in welcoming Damon.
Lila

Commons celebrates its 10th anniversary
To: press-release <press-release(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
(This press release is also available online here:
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikimedia_Commons_celeb…
)
Wikimedia Commons celebrates its 10th anniversary
- *22 million+ images make Wikimedia Commons world’s largest freely
licensed educational media repository.*
(San Francisco, USA) September 5, 2014 -- This Sunday marks the 10th
anniversary of Wikimedia Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>. Its creation was officially
announced on September 7, 2004.
More than 22 million media files have been uploaded by the Wikimedia
volunteer community over the decade since Commons came into being. The
Wikimedia Foundation is extremely grateful to have a dedicated community of
creators and institutions who continue to share their images and other
media so that the project has flourished and will continue to thrive.
Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Lila Tretikov said: “Many people
don’t know that the incredible, freely-licensed images that illustrate
Wikipedia are curated and maintained by the volunteer community of
Wikimedia Commons editors. Wikimedia Commons is the visual engine of the
Wikimedia projects, and we look forward to its next decade of
contributions, collaboration, and sharing.”
In the past ten years, creators have contributed to Commons in a variety of
ways, including the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest, which is currently
inviting submissions through the end of September. The Guinness Book of
World Records named Wiki Loves Monuments the largest photo contest in the
world, and it has inspired more 900,000 image uploads since 2010.
On this occasion we also celebrate the partnerships with dozens of cultural
institutions (GLAM) from around the world that have donated portions of
their collections. Their contributions have allowed Wikimedia Commons to
become a vital resource for educational and historical content, and ensured
the increasing depth and richness of the illustrations for articles on
Wikipedia.
The Foundation recognizes the vibrant Wikimedia Commons community, which is
responsible for increasing the availability of freely licensed images and
information to the public. The Commons community takes its role as a
guardian of the rights of creators extremely seriously, working diligently
to confirm authorship and licensing status of the media uploaded to
Commons. This work is reflected in the low number of DMCA takedown requests
received by the Wikimedia Foundation every year.
Erik Moeller, then a volunteer Wikimedian, first proposed the Commons in
March 2004 as a common repository for the images that Wikipedians had begun
uploading to illustrate the free online encyclopedia’s growing collection
of articles. Today, Moeller is the Wikimedia Foundation’s Deputy Director
and VP of Engineering, and Commons is the world’s largest repository of
freely licensed educational media on the internet.
“The Wikimedia Commons community is the reason these freely-licensed images
exist for everyone to enjoy." said Moeller. “Our next steps are to prepare
Wikimedia Commons for the future, including support for rich, structured
metadata; a massively improved user experience for uploading media; better
tools for editing media content through the web; and better support for
video. The first decade was just the beginning.”
The Foundation is thrilled to be celebrating these and many more
achievements of the project’s first decade.

Dear Wikimedia India Chapter members and other interested stakeholders in
the list,
Dear members,
The Executive committee of Wikimedia India has held an emergency
teleconference on their official DSNL channel on 31 Aug 2014. As salient
items on the agenda, the following topics were discussed and decided upon:
1. Earlier, Radhakrishna Arvapally, a senior chapter member and former
Chair of Bangalore SIG, was co-opted by an emergency resolution. The
resolution was passed unanimously. The resolution had also proposed another
senior member. However, due to heavy personal engagements, the second
nominee requested the EC to exempt from such considerations.
Radhakrishna was invited to the telecon and was officially welcomed to be
part of the EC.
2. Jayanta Nath, a senior Wikipedian from Kolkata and EC member, was
unanimously elected as the new President of the Wikimedia India Chapter.
Also, Radhakrishna Arvapally and Viswanathan Prabhakaran were elected as
the new Secretary and Treasurer of the chapter respectively.
3. Any decision about hiring is kept on hold for now. The current EC agreed
together that the opinion of the new EC (emerging through the upcoming
general elections) should also be taken on-board for a major decision like
this, since they are the ones to deal with the newly hired candidate(s)for
a longer term.
4. Another extra ordinary EC Telecon was scheduled to be conducted
tentatively on 02 September 2014, 9.00 PM to take up other urgent matters
pending for decisions.
This is for the general information for all chapter members and other
interested stakeholders.
Thank You,
Jayanta Nath
President
Wikimedia India Chapter

প্রিয় উইকিপিডিয়ানস,
উইকিমিডিয়া কনফারেন্সে আমি বলে এসেছি আমরা এবছর ২০১৪ সালে বাংলা উইকির ১০ বছর
পূর্তিতে একটা অনুষ্ঠান করবো, বড়সর করে।
এটি আমরা প্রস্তাব নভেম্বর মাসের তৃতীয় সপ্তাহে করার। দুইদিন ধরে করবো, একটা
বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে।
কী কী করবো সেটা নিয়ে আমরা এখান আলাপ করতে পারি।
এর মধ্যে আমরা কিছু প্রতিযোগিতার চিন্তাও করতে পারি যাদেরকে ঐ কনফারেন্স/সামিট
যে সামই দেই সেখানে পুরস্কৃত করা হবে।
আমি বোর্ড চেয়ারম্যানকে দাওয়াত দিয়ে এসেছি। এখন ফরমাালাইজ করতে শুরু করবো।
আগামী ৭ দিন আমরা অনুষ্টানটির পরিকল্পনা করবো। তারপর কােজ নেমে যাবো।
আর উদ্দেশ্য হবে - উইকির প্রসার, নতুন কিন্ত রিটেইনড এডিটর যোগাড় করা এবং দেশে
একটা হাওকাউ লাগায় দেওয়া।
ফান্ডিং এর জন্য আমরা লিখবো তবে না পেলেও করে ফেলব, ইনশা আল্লাহ।
সবার প্রস্তাব মতামত শুনতে চাই।
সবাইকে রমজানের শুভেচ্ছা। রমাদান করীম।
