>From the foundation-l list.... anyone interested in participating in
this at a Bay Area museum? Are there any ones that would be
particularly good to try and coordinate with?

Subject: [Foundation-l] Wikipedia Loves Art- photography contest at
museums worldwide
To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi folks,
I'd like to let you folks know about "Wikipedia Loves Art", a
scavenger hunt and free content photography contest project being
organized at several museums worldwide in February.
So far these museums are confirmed:
Brooklyn Museum in New York City
Victoria and Albert Museum in London
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Inadianapolis Museum of Art
But we're very interested in recruiting other institutions to join.
There have been some rumblings in Australia, Hungary and Germany on
that front, I think.
Here are the main relevant links:

These links also cover some of our past photography projects in New
York City (which this project is partly an evolution on):

If anyone anywhere is interested in helping their local museum to
participate in this project, please contact me and I'll help.
Thanks,
Pharos

Hi there,
We are a small group of grad students from multiple disciplines
(Human-Computer Interaction, Education, Biomedical engineering, CS) at
Stanford who have come together around a common project we believe has
a shot at positive impact for many people worldwide. We are looking
for a Wikimedia hacker to join our (non-profit) team. The right
person could easily do this project in their spare time.
If you are interested, please email neema(a)stanford.edu with your
project portfolio/descriptions, qualifications, and preferred meeting
times.
Thanks for your time and have a great weekend,
Neema
So you want to run a top-10 web site? Now's your chance...
We're now hiring for a full-time system administrator to help monitor,
maintain, and document the 400+ Linux/Unix servers that operate
Wikipedia and its sister projects. This position will be based at our
San Francisco headquarters, but will work closely with our remote staff
and volunteers.
Currently, system administration tasks are spread over our other tech
staff and volunteers, who have to split their time with software
development, data center management, and network planning. A full-time
system administrator will let us be more responsive to site issues when
they happen, and more importantly be more proactive about planning for
and averting problems before they affect the folks back home.
We've got operating systems to upgrade, configurations to document,
software installations to automate, and a lot of service data that needs
to be monitored and digested... if you think you've got the chops for
it, send us your CV by the end of January!
