Hello everyone,
I, too, wanted to extend my gratitude to everyone who has been working on
this project, as well as to all the community members who have already
participated and voted.
Seeking information and engaging with knowledge has become a more diverse
experience globally, with sound being among the fastest growing fields. As
established digital citizens and new generations coming online are
growingly consuming information in a `listening mode`, it seems a good
moment in time to be voting for a sound logo for Wikimedia projects, one
that can represent us in new ways. Community members, Foundation staff and
sound enthusiasts from around the world, have all collaborated to bring us
here, and the results are interesting and inspiring.
I have been following the progress of this project closely since its
inception, and as a volunteer, was honored to also be involved as part of
the selection committee. Along with community members and audio
professionals, we have reviewed and scored the top 40 submissions, leading
to the top 10 sounds the the community is now voting on.
As some of you know, I have a long time passion for music (in all its
diversified glory), so I was excited to be able to contribute to this
project more substantially. It was a unique experience that I'll cherish
for years to come, and I am grateful to the WMF team working on this in a
true spirit of openness, transparency and collaboration, as well as to all
the volunteers who invested time and effort in the process.
*I encourage you all to have a listen and a say in selecting the sound* *that
will represent us* for many years to come. So if you haven't already, I
hope you consider participating and vote. One more week to go!
With gratitude,
Shani.

Hi,
Just to say thank you for sharing the finalists under a free license on
Commons:

Will the non-finalist sounds also be shared there? Commons needs more
freely licenced audio files!
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the notes of appreciation shared here
on this thread and
elsewhere. A great deal of community and staff effort has gone into
conceptualizing this contest and making it a reality, especially since
May of this year when we switched to a more active phase of the project
<

The
great participation in the votes so far is much appreciated. With further
thanks to your help and input, we were able to fix a few glitches and
oversights as well. We took the precedent of voting and the reliable
Schulze method <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method> from recent
visual logo contests for Abstract Wikipedia <

and MediaWiki <

(you
can learn more on Diff <

).
So, please have a listen or listen again, and help select the sound of
Wikimedia <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sound_Logo_Vote>.
Best regards,
Mehrdad

I didn't expect very much of this project.
I was wrong.
Thanks for all the logo proposals!

Wow, I'm really impressed at the quality of these proposed sound

Thank you to all of the contributors, organizers, and volunteer
screeners.

I can't vote, but just wanted to send a note to say it
was wonderful to hear all of the potential final sound
logos. There are so many wonderful ones it will be hard
to choose a single sound.
One consideration that could have been included in the
How to Vote section - the sound should be one people
would not tire of hearing frequently...as we do
indeed hope they will hear it often!
