What's making you happy this week? (Week of 5 May 2019) - Wikimedia-l

6 May 2019


      I am trying to restart the "What's making you happy this week?" threads.
I am grateful for the volunteers who are facilitating significant portions
of the selection process

for two WMF Board seats.
Also, I was happy to see a new issue of *The Signpost*. In addition to the
many interesting pieces of information in this issue, I appreciated the
Wikipedia humor of renaming this visual depiction to *Simplified Guide to
Categories*

Preparations for Wikimania 2019 sound like they are going well. I am very
interested in the conference’s highlighting

Sustainable Development Goals.
Finally, I join with others in congratulating Wikimedia Korea for its promotion
to chapter

.

P.S. Sometimes I try to translate "What's making you happy this week?" into
an additional language that is related to the content of the email, but
this week I had significant doubts regarding the the automated translations
that I received for Korean and Swedish, and I was unable to create a manual
translation that was likely to be accurate. I enjoy seeing diverse
languages on Wikimedia mailing lists. If I continue to start these threads
then I will continue to try to translate the titles. Anyone else who would
like to start one of these threads in a future week is welcome to take the
initiative!
