Hello, everyone.
As announced in the Wikimedia Conference 2011 in Berlin, the Wikimedia
Foundation would like to set up a Grant Advisory Committee, to help evaluate
grant requests and to benefit from a wider movement perspective.
We are now looking to populate the committee with volunteers. Please take a
look at the description in the committee page on Meta[1], and if you have
relevant background and are so inclined, apply at the bottom of the page.
Cheers,

This month has been very intense because of the accumulation of events
regarding the organization of the 10th anniversary celebrations and usual
activities. The impact in the Catalan media has been extraordinary. It may
have contributed to the increase in pages read on the Catalan Wikipedia by
70% over the same month last year. Many activities have been aimed at
increasing the number of editors on Wikipedia. In this respect many results
have been achieved but under the objectives we had set. At present the
number of active editors of Wikipedia in Catalan is 10% larger than last
year at this time.
== Courses and conferences ==
*Viquifabricació. On March 2 and 10 courses were made editing on Wikipedia
at the University Jaume I of Castellon. Gomà & Pacopac. As a result, 104
students have enrolled, 10 in Catalan and 94 in Spanish.
*Viquibalear. This year’s edition has come to an end. Almost 136 articles
have been moved to Wikipedia. The awards ceremony took place on March 29 at

satisfied with the experience and they will schedule the next edition.

This month, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Catalan Wikipedia,
we organized six thematic sessions.
;Research
On March 15 the Open University of Catalonia was the Roundtable on Research
and Wikipedia. The results of several research projects about Wikipedia were
presented. We also explained the role of the WMF Research Committee and
proposed an online collaboration between the University, Wikipedia, and
Amical in order to carry out the strategic plan. Lilaroja, Dvdgmz, Eaibar &
Gomà. On March 21 it was the Wikipedia Research presentation at the
Polytechnic University of Valencia. Lilaroja. We really expect that our
proposed alliances will bear any fruit.

On Friday the 18th at Golferichs house, Barcelona was the working day
"Viquipèdia and Education". In the morning it was dealt with elementary
school and high school. Several experiences where presented: Viquibalear,
Viquiescoles, Experimenta_wiki, EduWiki, Viquiprojectes Olympic Games (2008)

GMM UOC, audiovisual Viquiprojecte:Telecomunicacions EUETIT and ETSETB- UPC
;Minority languages.
On Saturday 19th we made the working day in Perpignan on minority languages
and Wikipedia. This is a futher step to launch a working group to help each
other. Attended Wikipedians in Occitan, Aragonese, Esperanto, Hebrew,
Amerindian languages, Catalan, Portuguese, roman and eusquera as well as
people from apertium and mozilla projects. Were raised several lines of
collaboration and exchanged experiences and ideas. Among them extend and
integrate amical-bot with apertium to make it accessible to these languages
and retrofeed apertium with revised texts to improve the sytem continuously.
The bot to create articles from statistical data has been redesigned to fit
these languages. Eusquera tests have already been made and the results are
pretty good. We also proposed to continue the work at Wikimania 2011 and do
part of the session in Esperanto (with a previous online course for all
attendees). It can be a very enriching experience. Capsot

http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/04/15/ten-million-free-media-files-and-…
Ten is turning out to be the number of the year for Wikimedia. First, the Wikimedia Foundation celebrated the tenth anniversary of Wikipedia in January, and now Wikimedia Commons – the library of images, sound files, and videos that constitutes an integral component of Wikipedia’s user experience – has logged its 10,000,000th file. All files on Wikimedia Commons can be used for any purpose, including commercial use, under terms consistent with the Definition of Free Cultural Works. This, together with its educational focus, makes Wikimedia Commons a media repository unlike any other.
The ten millionth file uploaded to Commons is a photograph of a waterfowl observation platform near Lipno Lake in the Wdzydze Landscape Park in Poland. It was uploaded by Commons user Leinad, who has been uploading to Commons since 2006. Leinad is also active on the Polish Wikipedia, and attended the 2010 Wikimania conference in Gdansk.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:POL_Lipno_%28jezioro_w_wojew%C3%B3dz…
What stories these ten million files can tell. The scope of Wikimedia’s ambitions has always been epic, and comparing 2006’s 1 millionth image – a pygmy hippopotamus at the Singapore Zoo – to 2009’s five-millionth upload – an article detailing democracy from an 1838 Danish newspaper – succinctly demonstrates the near-limitless capacity for sharing knowledge we’ve fostered.
While the frequency of new articles appearing on Wikipedia may have slowed, our repository of educational media is growing faster than ever. Today’s entry marks less than a two year period during which more than five million new files have been uploaded. This is in part thanks to Wikimedia’s global volunteer building more and more relationships with cultural institutions and collection holders around the world, receiving and uploading large treasures of photographs, video and other content. And we are hoping to accelerate the project’s growth further, with a new media upload tool (login required) which we are currently beta testing, as well as improved video support.
Our huge thanks to the tens of thousands of individuals who have contributed to Wikimedia Commons and who have helped bring the project to this milestone. You have helped us create the largest, and almost certainly, the highest quality trove of entirely freely re-usable, education-oriented media files in history.

Greetings All,
I'm super happy to announce that the engineering department has hired its
first developer specifically for mobile. Patrick Reilly has joined us as a
Sr. Software Developer for mobile and will be reporting directly to me.
Patrick's first responsibility will include porting our existing mobile
gateway to something a bit closer to our core architecture. He'll be
assessing the current list of features for the gateway and will begin work
on the next generation of mobile infrastructure for the WMF. This is a very
high priority project as it is carefully timed with the mobile research work
that both Mani and Parul are leading for us. Both of these projects will be
the foundation of our mobile efforts going forward and are being actively
documented and discussed at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects
I'm really happy to have Patrick in this role as he has a wealth of platform
development experience on big web sites. Through his work at Big Tent
Design, Inc, OmniTI, Schematic, Media Revolution and numerous others he's
really enjoyed building high traffic sites while keeping a focus on the
mobile experience.
Patrick continues to be active in the open source community by being the
evangelism team leader for the PHP group.
If you have any questions for Patrick or simply want to say hello then you
can reach him at preilly(a)wikimedia.org or preilly on irc in
#wikimedia-mobile.
Please join me in welcoming Patrick Reilly to the Tech Department and to
WMF. We are very happy to have him join us.

Dear all,
The Wikimania jury are pleased to announce that they have selected Washington, D.C., USA as the location for Wikimania 2012[0]. The DC team presented an imaginative and exciting bid[1] that the jurors found impressive. As before, all the bids to host Wikimania had strong points in their favour and making this decision was difficult. We will send detailed feedback to each of the bids, but for now we know the winning team will appreciate the community's support and help in making a great Wikimania in 2012. The jury particularly thanks the other finalist in the process, the South African team[2] for their excellent work, and encourages them to bid again in the near future.
If you have never been to a Wikimania before I would urge you to consider attending. This year the conference will be in Haifa, Israel[3], and promises to be an excellent event. Wikimania is always a great way to meet members of our global community and help improve the movement, and Washington DC looks to be a worthy successor.
Our congratulations to the Washington DC team and many thanks to all of the bidders for working so hard. I encourage all bidders to use the fantastic energy they have put into their bids by hosting smaller continental or regional events, and considering another bid for Wikimania in the future.
The jury welcomes looks forward to discussing the result and the Wikimania process with the community.
