to reward the most influential research work on Wikimedia projects and free
knowledge. After the initial submission of research papers by the wikimedia
community, our jury
members<http://researchaward.wikimedia.fr/en/page-d-exemple/>have
selected among a thirty
proposals<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_France_Research_Award/pap…>,
five finalists.
It's now up to you to choose the most influential. For that, please visit
this page :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_France_Research_Award/nom…
vote. Deadline for vote is early March. The announcement of the winner
is scheduled to end of March.
If you have any questions, please use the project talk page, thanks !

To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)"
<wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
[Please note that I send this purely as a volunteer, and in no
connexion to the Wikimedia Foundation.]
Dear all,
I write to announce the Jury to select which bid will be chosen to
host Wikimania in 2014.
The twelve members will be:
* Deror Avi - [[User:Deror avi]] from Israel (Wikimania 2011 General Manager)
* Philippe Beaudette - [[User:Philippe (WMF)]] from the US (Wikimedia
Foundation Director, Community Advocacy)
* Jeromy-Yu Chan - [[User:Yuyu]] from HK (Wikimania 2013 Co-ordinator-in-Chief)
* Shujen Chang - [[User:Shujenchang]] from HK
* Florence Devouard - [[User:Anthere]] from France
* Orsolya Gyenes - [[User:OrsolyaVirág]] from Hungary (Wikimania 2012
Deputy Program Chair)
* James Hare - [[User:Harej]] from the US (Wikimania 2012 Co-chair)
* Achal Prabhala - [[User:Aprabhala]] from India - Wikimedia Advisory
Board member
* Konarak Ratnakar - [[User:Kondicherry]] from India
* Noopur Raval - [[User:Noopur28]] from India
* Manuel Schneider - [[User:80686]] from Austria (Wikimedia
Österreich; perpetual Wikimania organiser)
* [[User:Whiteghost.ink]] from Australia
Jan-Bart de Vreede and Sam Klein (of the Wikimedia Foundation Board)
will also be part of the Jury, as normal.
I and Phoebe Ayers - [[User:Phoebe]] - will be serving as moderators,
neutral aides for the Jury who do not vote.
To re-iterate what we've said before, it would be lovely if this was
the last year we used this process, and that for 2015 onwards we could
create a new, community-led and more open and transparent process.
Some earlier discussions took place at [[m:Talk:Wikimania Advisory
Group]]. Please feel free to give your thoughts there.
As a reminder, bids have two weeks (until 23:59 UTC on 3 March 2013)
until bidding creation closes. All cities which intend to run for the
bidding process should have created a page on meta and entered the
official list by this point.
Thank you, and good luck to all Bids.
Yours,
--

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing."
Hi all.
I would like to recommend to see the Brazil case where the recruitment
of the coordinator of the Catalyst Project was done in partnership
with the community
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/01/11/brazil-recruiting-and-partnership-with…
After the community noticed the mistake being done in hiring and
expensive and useless headhunter, this was critized
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.brazil/161> and,
fortunately, promptly listened by Wikimedia Foundation people in
charge of the process. The community even had the idea of a more open
and transparent process, where the candidates would engage in a wiki
task - four finalists for the whole process engaged in such task. Also
in the interview with two wikimedians, the 10 candidates could have a
taste of what they would expect. :)
We all saw the dozens of mistakes of this headhunters, that luckly
were solved on time by the community, improving a lot the final
results. Not saying the model shouldn't be adapted and improved, it
must. And after all, no one better than locals to tell about their own
community.
Best,
Tom

I must confess though that I think that most of these questions require a deep knowledge of the movement and the community and as such disqualify a lot of potential candidates… (I would hazard a guess that none of the past appointed candidates (including myself) were not able to answer 80% of these questions until about 6 months "on the job". So are you proposing these questions to select new candidates or are you simply trying to get attention for these issues (as you have been doing over the past months… which is fair enough to some degree?)

Assunto: [thackday] Bolsas
Para: thackday(a)googlegroups.com
o UOL abriu projetos para bolsistas em vários estágios.
Embora as condições tenham cláusulas restritivas, para assuntos de
pesquisa, produção, melhoria e implementação de códigos abertos
que auxiliem a transparência da informação, podem ser formados vários
grupos, em locais diferentes que com as bolsas ajudem a avançar
na produção de ferramentas e até na pesquisa de temas não ligados
diretamente à TI e códigos...
Vejam os detalhes em
http://bolsapesquisa.uol.com.br/
Acredito que seja uma excelente oportunidade de financiamento para
iniciativas da Transparência Hacker.

Bem... Isso provavelmente só vai ser oficial no mês que vem.
Mas já está em planejamento[1] a participação do Mediawiki no Google Summer
of Code(GSoC) desse ano.
Em resumo é uma maratona de programação. Bem simples, você melhora algum
software livre (no nosso caso o mediawiki) e ganha 5,000 USD (cinco
mil dólares) ao longo de aproximadamente três meses.
Bem... Como eu disse, nada é oficial ainda, mas esse ano eu devo ser
(novamente) co-tutor de algum(ns) dos projetos[2]. Isso quer dizer que
participarei da mesa que vai julgar as propostas e ajudarei algum(ns)
estudante(s). Então se algum de vocês quer participar, posso mostrar a
direção :)
Os principais pré-requisitos são estar matriculado em uma universidade e
ter um inglês inteligível.
Atenciosamente.

Pessoal
rascunhei o seguinte email para enviar aos participantes das nossas
atividades recentes. Pedi ao Rodrigo, que concordou em mandar pelo email da
Wikimedia Brasil
A ideia é sempre utilizá-lo (eventualmente adaptando uma ou outra coisa,
incluindo alguma questão) em nossas atividades, para que possamos melhor
avaliá-los, saber a opinião das pessoas e melhorar alguma coisa.
Aliás, acho que ficou bem bom o questionário, mas revendo agora me dei
conta de que talvez um campo aberto pra demais observações pode ser
importante. Perguntas fechadas são melhores pra comparar e ver evolução,
mas uma pergunta aberta, com espaço pra sugestões, críticas e observações
tem mais importância/informação qualitativa pra nós.
Vejam se ok.
Abração
Oona
Prezado(a),
O movimento Wikimedia Brasil e a Wikimedia Foundation agradecem a sua
participação em nossa atividade.
É sempre um prazer dialogar sobre o conhecimento livre e envolver mais
pessoas nos projetos Wikimedia.
Queremos conhecer sua opinião sobre nossas atividades, para que possamos
melhor avaliá-las e aprimorá-las. Por isso, preparamos um questionário
breve, que não tomará mais do que 5 minutos do seu tempo.
Clique aqui
<https://s.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eXuaZkTsIRAx261&Preview=Survey&BrandID=w…>para
responder o questionário.
Agradecemos sua participação e esperemos encontrá-lo(a) em nossos projetos.
Ao final da pesquisa, você encontrará mais informações e links para listas
e sites que podem ser do seu interesse.
Um WikiAbraço e até a próxima!

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Organize Wiki Loves Public Art in your country!
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hello
all!
As you might have already heard, the very first Wiki Loves Public Art (WLPA)
photo contest will take place in May 2013. This is a contest that is
inspired
by the success of the Wiki Loves Monuments, but as the name suggests the
focus
is on public art, either outdoors or in museums (see more
about how museums can be involved here). The basic structure of the
contest is set up and we are looking for local Wikimedia chapters to
organize the contest in
their country, or in a region, a city or perhaps just in a few museums as a
pilot. Thus far teams are working to organize the contest in Sweden,
Austria and
Barcelona but the more the merrier, so if you think that this could be
something for your chapter, please let us know as soon as possible!
To make participation to the photo
contest easier, the international organizing team can help you for example
with setting up the lists of artworks on
Wikipedia and to sort through the basic rules of the contest. In addition,
in
case you cannot find your own sponsors, we will be able to provide a prize
for
the winning picture of your local contest (around 100-150 euros, depending
on
the number of countries/regions participating).
To find out more see the international
WLPA website as well as the WLPA page on Wikimedia Commons. On the website
there is also a neat instruction and all the files needed to set up your
own version of the website in your language.
You
are also more than welcome to email the international coordinator or the
WLPA email list for any questions or
comments as well as if you would like to contribute or participate in the
contest!
Please forward this to anyone you think could be interested!
Cheers,
John
