Hi there,
Please find the information in the link below.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Thai…
Registration of wikilovesmonuments.th is not allowed. (THNIC admits
.th registration only third-level domain under seven groups of
predefined second-level domains. Strict registration rules make the
risk of cybersquatting extremely low. There is currently no chapter
in Thailand and small grant may be asked.
The rationales behind Wiki Loves Monuments in Thailand is twofold:
* we wish to recruit more volunteers
* we wish to start a high-impact outreach activity that strengthen the
movement to pave the way for chapter registration.
Many thanks,
Taweetham

สรุปโดยย่อ คือ Sue Gardner (คนที่ผมเคยส่งวีดีโอให้ดูคราวก่อน)
ประกาศเจตจำนงค์ที่จะลาออกจากตำแหน่ง Executive Director
ในมูลนิธิวิกิมีเดีย
1. ไม่ใช่ว่าจะออกวันนี้พรุ่งนี้ แต่รอจนกว่าจะหาคนมาแทนได้
2. ออกเพราะว่าชุมชนวิกิมีเดียไปได้ดีแล้ว
แต่ว่าอินเทอร์เน็ตยังไปไม่ได้ดีเท่าไหร่ มีการตรวจพิจารณาและปัญหาอื่นๆ
ที่เกี่ยวข้อง ซึ่งจะได้หาทางช่วยเหลือต่อไปเมื่อพ้นตำแหน่ง

Hello Wikimedia community members,
This is not an easy e-mail to write, and it’s been a very hard
decision to make. But I’m writing to tell you that I’m planning to
leave my position as the Executive Director of the Wikimedia
Foundation.
My departure isn’t imminent -- the Board and I anticipate it’ll take
at least six months to recruit my successor, and I’ll be fully engaged
as Executive Director all through the recruitment process and until we
have a new person in place. We’re expecting that’ll take about six
months or so, and so this note is not goodbye -- not yet.
Making the decision to leave hasn’t been easy, but it comes down to two things.
First, the movement and the Wikimedia Foundation are in a strong place
now. When I joined, the Foundation was tiny and not yet able to
reliably support the projects. Today it's healthy, thriving, and a
competent partner to the global network of Wikimedia volunteers. If
that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t feel okay to leave. In that sense, my
leaving is a vote of confidence in our Board and executive team and
staff --- I know they will ably steer the Foundation through the years
ahead, and I’m confident the Board will appoint a strong successor to
me.
And I feel that although we’re in good shape, with a promising future,
the same isn’t true for the internet itself. (This is thing number
two.) Increasingly, I’m finding myself uncomfortable about how the
internet’s developing, who’s influencing its development, and who is
not. Last year we at Wikimedia raised an alarm about SOPA/PIPA, and
now CISPA is back. Wikipedia has experienced censorship at the hands
of industry groups and governments, and we’re --increasingly, I
think-- seeing important decisions made by unaccountable
non-transparent corporate players, a shift from the open web to mobile
walled gardens, and a shift from the production-based internet to one
that’s consumption-based. There are many organizations and individuals
advocating for the public interest online -- what’s good for ordinary
people -- but other interests are more numerous and powerful than they
are. I want that to change. And that’s what I want to do next.
I’ve always aimed to make the biggest contribution I can to the
general public good. Today, this is pulling me towards a new and
different role, one very much aligned with Wikimedia values and
informed by my experiences here, and with the purpose of amplifying
the voices of people advocating for the free and open internet. I
don’t know exactly what this will look like -- I might write a book,
or start a non-profit, or work in partnership with something that
already exists. Either way, I feel strongly that this is what I need
to do.
I feel an increasing sense of urgency around this. That said, I also
feel a strong sense of responsibility (and love!) for the Wikimedia
movement, and so I’ve agreed with the Board that I’ll stay on as
Executive Director until we have my successor in place. That’ll take
some time -- likely, at least six months.
Until then, nothing changes. The Wikimedia Foundation has lots of work
to do, and you can expect me to focus fully on it until we have a new
Executive Director in place.
I have many people to thank, but I’m not going to do it now --
there’ll be time for that later. For now, I’ll just say I love working
with you all, I’m proud of everything the Wikimedia movement is
accomplishing, and I’m looking forward to our next six months
together.
Jan-Bart’s going to write a note in a couple of minutes with
information about the transition process. We’ll be hosting office
hours this weekend as well, so anybody with questions can ask them
here or turn up to talk with us on IRC.
Thanks,
Sue

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Thailand/Wikimedia_project_names_i…
This page is for Thai-speaking Wikimedians to choose and confirm
Wikimedia project names in Thai. The choices arise as we take
translation, transliteration, transcription and marketing viability of
the names into account. There are links from all Wikimedia projects in
Thai to this page so that people can cast their votes and voice their
opinion.
เนื่องจากมีการใช้ชื่อโครงการต่างๆ
ของวิกิมีเดียเป็นภาษาไทยโดยไม่เคยได้มีการรับรองจากชุมชนอย่างเป็นทางการเลย
คำเหล่านี้เป็นวิสามานยนามจะใช้เพียงหลักการแปล หลักการทับศัพท์
หรือหลักการถอดเสียงอย่างเดียวมิได้
ต้องพิจารณาถึงความเหมาะสมของชื่อโครงการในเชิงการตลาดด้วยเพราะเป้าหมายสูงสุดของโครงการก็คือรับใช้สังคมเพื่อเผยแพร่ความรู้
ปกติแล้วเป็นหน้าที่ของผู้เป็นเจ้าของจะเลือกใช้ชื่อตามที่เห็นสมควร
ชาววิกิมีเดียที่พูดภาษาไทยเป็นเจ้าของโครงการเหล่านี้ร่วมกันจึงสมควรเป็นผู้เลือกและรับรองชื่อโครงการ
สำหรับโครงการที่ใช้มานาน
ชื่อที่ใช้ก็กลายเป็นชื่อที่นิยมเรียกขานกันทั่วไปของสาธารณชนแล้ว
ผมเสนอให้ดำเนินการรับรองชื่อที่ใช้อยู่แล้วอย่างเป็นทางการก็น่าจะเพียงพอ
สำหรับโครงการใหม่ที่เพิ่งเปิดใช้หรือยังไม่ได้เปิดใช้
ผมเสนอว่าเราควรร่วมกันเลือกชื่อที่เหมาะสมเป็นภาษาไทยให้กับทุกโครงการของวิกิมีเดีย

Hi everyone,
March is Women's History Month, and this will be the second year for
WikiWomen's History Month, an *international* collaborative event that
takes place offline at edit-a-thons and online through project focuses.
Events and projects focus on improving women's history coverage on any
language project. We have a page on English Wikipedia, like last year,
to gather all of the events:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month
So far we have events in South America, Europe and the United States.
I hope you'll consider throwing an event in your town, village, or city
- or do a women's history focus for your WikiProject - large or small!
Sarah
