I'll check out the warper as well Best, Olaf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 17:43:54 +0100 From: Maarten Dammers <maarten(a)mdammers.nl> To: glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi Olaf, That looks like a nice collection of maps! I added a couple to the Wikimaps Warper. See for example https://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/221#Preview_tab . For people who want to play around with the Warper too: * Go to https://warper.wmflabs.org and login. Select Oauth Wikimedia Commons * Go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_contributed_by_Tweede_Kam… and pick a map * Edit the source, change "| warped = " to "| warped = 1" and save it * You'll now have a link "View the georeferenced map in the Wikimaps Warper", click it * Go to the "Rectify" tab * You'll get two maps. On the left the old map, on the right the current OpenStreetMap (https://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/221#Rectify_tab) * Put a point on the same location on both maps (for example a city) and click "Add Control Point" * Do this for at least three points, but more is better. Try to spread them around the map * Click "Warp image" and wait * Go to the "Preview" tab to see your work (https://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/221#Preview_tab) Maarten Op 20-11-2015 om 15:42 schreef Olaf Janssen: > > Hi, > > This might be interesting for those interested in Dutch (colonial) > history: last week I did an donation of 512 maps and images from the > proceedings of the Dutch Parliament (the so-called States General > <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:States_General_of_the_Netherlands>. > They are from the period 1885-1995. > > The images are in Category:Media contributed by Tweede Kamer > < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_contributed_by_Tweede_Kam… >. > Every image has geo coordinates for the map centre. > > The set has some unique content, not only about the Netherlands, but > also about its former colonies Dutch East-Indies (now Indonesia) and > Suriname.

Charity status update for Cascadia Wikimedians
by Pine W 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Hi all, Cascadia Wikimedians is currently registered as a nonprofit in Washington State. Our next step for fundraising purposes will be to register as a "charity" in Washington State. We have started this process with a request for relevant records from the state Attorney General's Office. After we receive a reply from the AGO, we can complete the remaining steps to become a charity under state law. Charity status will allow us to conduct fundraising activities among the general public in Washington State. Further down the road is our 501(c)(3) application. We have requested grant funds for the IRS filing fee and for the professional services of an attorney or CPA to assist us with this process. Hopefully we will complete this process in 2016. Please let me know if you have any questions. Full speed ahead, Pine

Planning for Cascadia celebrations of Wikipedia's 15th birthday
by Raymond Leonard 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Wikipedia Day is Friday, January 15, 2016. I wanted to find out who is interested in holding observances in our Cascadian bioregion. At a minimum, we should have some sort of meetups & perhaps a Wikicake. If there is interest, we could plan for something on the weekend days. User:Pharos has indicated that the New York City event for Wikipedia Day will probably be an unconference format, with possible video links from other regions & international cities. He asks should we do something on Friday January 15, or that perhaps more conveniently that weekend, Saturday January 16 or Sunday January 17? Some folks have talked about doing celebrations in two or more Cascadian cities on different days, so some can do a mini-road tour. What are your thoughts & suggestions? Here are some relevant links: - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15 - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_15/Events - https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaus-l/2015-October/000375.html Yours, Peaceray

Fwd: Party for Joe's 61st birthday
by Joe Mabel 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Inviting my fellow Wikimedians to my upcoming birthday party: You are invited to my birthday party at my house (3164 NE 83rd Street, Seattle) on the evening of Saturday, December 5, 2015. We'll be starting with a potluck dinner around 6PM, and presumably continue into the wee hours (last year went to about 3 or 4 AM, which is par for the course). No gifts, please, but food and drink to share would be welcome. Feel free to invite people you think would belong at my birthday party. Acoustic musical instruments are very welcome. If you are bringing kids, around dinner time is probably more kid-friendly than later in the evening. JM

Like, all of them. See https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2015-October/00018… for the fix; I'm not sure who maintains cascadia.wiki s/w, so I'm sending to the group here. JM

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] [GLAM] This Month in GLAM: October 2015
by Pine W 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

That white paper ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Flemish_art_collections,_Wikidata_an…) is very helpful! We in Cascadia Wikimedians are discussing engagement plans for a couple of museums, most likely the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_Museum_of_Natural_History_and_Culture> and the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Luke_Museum_of_the_Asian_Pacific_America…>. It will be great for us to have this white paper available when we talk to the museum staff.
