Hello Everyone,

The results for Wikimedia Board elections are out and unfortunately Indian candidates were unable to make it out.
I want to thank all the candidates who had  nominated themselves for this election  to spread the awareness among the community.

I would like to thank all Indic  community members who had submitted their votes during the election period, and I hope that more community members will be aware of the WMF activities and participate in maximum numbers.

From Indic language Wikipedia, Telugu language Wikimedian had voted in highest numbers, 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2015/Stats#WMF_Board_of_Trustees_Elections

Having least number of eligible voter among the community was a major challenge to the Indic candidates. Mean time in future indic community support is mostly important.

Shyamal, Omshivaprakash, Dhaval

Thanks for the feedback.

We are also seeking feedback from the global GLAM community.

Will appreciate if anyone can connect us to vendors who can provide demos
for various scanners in Bengaluru or Kolkata.

Hi Hasive,

On behalf of Wikimedia community from India, my best wishes for the

We look forward to more interaction between both the communities in the

Thanks,

Hi Sudhanwa,

Phase 1 of contest is a pilot conducted to understand the dynamics of
Commons community. It has helped us refine various aspects in Phase 2.

I agree that there are certain things that could have been done better in
the pilot phase. But, as far as we know, this is the first time any one has
conducted a pilot for a photo contest. So, we do have lot of learnings from
conducting this pilot which will be documented in our upcoming progress
report.

Phase 2 progress can be tracked at

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlf

In the last few days, we are getting around 500+ images uploaded every day
and most of them represent the diverse cuisine of Indian sub-continent.

1560 contestants have registered so far.

Commons:Wiki_Loves_Food
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Food> has been viewed
128309 times in the last 30 days and we are trying various channels to
reach more people.

Based on GLAMorous tool
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=Wiki+Loves+Food&use_globalusage=1&ns0=1&projects[wikipedia]=1&projects[wikimedia]=1&projects[wikisource]=1&projects[wikibooks]=1&projects[wikiquote]=1&projects[wiktionary]=1&projects[wikinews]=1&projects[wikivoyage]=1&projects[wikispecies]=1&projects[mediawiki]=1&projects[wikidata]=1&projects[wikiversity]=1>,
24.96% of uploaded images in Phase 1 are already being used in various
Wikimedia projects.

We request more volunteers to sign up at

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Food/Volunteers

to help us organize the images uploaded in Phase 2.

We will provide more stats once the contest is over.

Thanks,

Ravi
