Dear Wikimedia Ireland subscribers,
If anyone was thinking about going to London to attend Wikimania, the early
bird ticket price ends on Tuesday 1st July. So if that tempts you, you can
register here <https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration>.
If you want to volunteer like me, you can sign up here
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer>. Not only is it a
unique opportunity and something interesting to add to a CV, it'll be a
great way to get to know other Wikipedians from all around the world.
If you are going, please add your name to the list on the Wikimedia
Ireland's Discussion Page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Ireland_Community>. Even if
you are not going, or are undecided, it would be fantastic to get some
conversations going on the discussion page or feel free to email me
directly.
This is my first bilingual email, so don't forget we're looking for anyone
who's interested in translating too!
Hope to talk to some of you soon,
Rebecca
Síntiúsóirí Wikimedia Éireann a cháirde,
Má bhí aon duine ag smaoineamh ar dul go Londain chun freastal ar
Wikimania, thagann
deireadh leis an phraghas an ticéid luath éan ar Dé Máirt 1 Iúil. Mar sin,
má tempts go bhfuil tú, is féidir leat clárú anseo.
Más mhaith leat chun obair dheonach mhaith liom, is féidir leat clárú anseo. Ní
amháin go bhfuil sé deis uathúil agus rud suimiúil a chur le CV, beidh sé a
bheith ina slí iontach chun aithne a chur ar Wikipedians eile ó gach cearn
den domhan.
Má tá tú ag dul, le do thoil d'ainm a chur ar an liosta ar an Wikimedia
hÉireann Díospóireachta Leathanach. Fiú más rud é nach bhfuil tú ag dul, nó
a mbeidh cinneadh, bheadh sé iontach a thosnú comhrá ar an Leathanach Plé
nó is féidir leat r-phost chugam díreach.
Is é seo mo chéad r-phost dátheangach, mar sin ná déan dearmad táimid ag
lorg do dhuine ar bith a bhfuil spéis acu sa mhéid gur aistrigh freisin!
Slán go foill agus tá súil againn cloisint uait,
Rebecca
Hello Wikimedia Ireland Subscribers,
My name is Shannon Eichelberger and I'm on the organising committee for
the Wikimedia Ireland Community Group. One of the projects we are working
on is the participation of Ireland in the International Wiki Loves
Monuments Contest. It's a photography contest to enhance the number and
quality of images of national monuments on Wikimedia Commons. If your
interested in learning more about the contest or volunteering to help out
you can get more information on our website:
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.ie/
In order to run a successful contest we are requesting grant money from
Wikimedia Foundation. You will find a link to the grant proposal below. If
you have time read through it and make any comments in the discussion area.
This is the frst time I have written a grant proposal for Wikimedia so the
more eyes I can get on it the better. Please be honest with your comments,
I can take it. The more specific you are the better.
Thanks for your help!
~Shannon

Dear Wikimedia Ireland subscribers,
As mentioned in the last mail there is a new wave of activity happening
spurred on from the first Editathon in Ireland. It was fantastic timing
given that Wikimania <http://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>,
the official annual event for the Wikimedia Movement, is in London this
year.
It takes place from the 6-10 August, but there are many Fringe
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fringe> events taking place from
June onwards.
If you are planning on going to Wikimania, or even thinking about it,
please join the conversation started on the Discussion
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Ireland_Community> page.
You can add your name to the list so we can get the ball rolling. If there
are a few of us going, the aim would be to organise to meet up before or
during the week in August. It will be a fantastic opportunity to get to
know some fellow Irish Wikipedians.
You can also sign up to be a volunteer
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteers> for the event itself
if you are interested in being more involved (I've signed up as one
already!).
Hope to talk to you soon,
Rebecca
