Let us know if you would be interested in making use of childcare services at WikiConference North America! Please reply offlist to Phoebe (see below). Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: phoebe ayers <phoebe.ayers(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 4:32 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-boston] childcare for WikiConference North America this Nov To: Boston Wikimedians <wikimedia-boston(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, We have had a request for childcare at the WikiConference North America this fall (Nov 8-11) and I am trying to get a sense of how many people might be interested in this service. Note, we don't have anything set up yet, but I am trying to gauge interest as there are different options depending on how many kids there are. So, please let me know offlist if you would be potentially interested in a conference-arranged childcare option for the weekend. best, Phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-boston mailing list Wikimedia-boston(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-boston

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in the United States: We're live!
by Kevin Payravi 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi all, Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 is now live! The US competition is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019_in_the… If you're new to Wiki Loves Monuments: WLM is the world's largest photo competition that asks the public to upload their photos of registered monuments and historical sites. These photos contribute to improving our documentation of history, as well as illustrating Wikipedia. The competition runs on a federated model with each country running their own competition. In the US last year, we had 1,900+ participants upload over 10,000 photos, hundreds of which went to illustrating pages on Wikipedia. The vast majority of participants (85%+) are first-time contributors to the Commons. Each national contest has a jury process that selects the country's top-10 photos (the top-3 of which win monetary prizes in the US), which go on to compete in the international competition. All are welcome to participate. It would also be great if you could spread the word in your local communities - even if it's just a retweet or share on your affiliate's social media. https://twitter.com/WLMUnitedStates https://www.facebook.com/WLMUnitedStates/ Thank you!

22 Jul '19

Hi Wiki-Americans, I'd like to propose that we move the next WALRUS call to Monday August 5, rather than the week after. At the other date, myself and probably a few others will likely already be on our way to the Wikimania conference in Sweden. Thanks, Pharos

Great American Wiknic 2019 - super banner and strategy grants with May 31 deadline
by Pharos 31 May '19

31 May '19

My fellow Wiki-Americans, I'd like to suggest that we think about Wiknic 2019 now, and wanted to share some possible preparations for doing so. The Wikimedia Foundation is funding "Strategy Salons" for the summer (deadline to apply is May 31!), and it might be an excellent opportunity to expand the scope of your local Wiknic. The grants are $500-$1,500, and can cover either a general or a youth salon. I have done some outreach to the WMF and they say they like the idea of combining a Strategy Salon with a Wiknic! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/2019_Co… Intro video to Strategy Salons: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1erKTu04NQjyTB2PFNY8W5ejCU8Fz09xM/view General salon application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mI3Sj1d_BRKuKyfh5ySN3XpBy5wEzjRvSn4LbcjaSg… Youth salon application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YPmPNyzAjczKAE16cBMixLENQMtcsxxVuR1ALUjXI_… Since Wikimania this year will be in August, we'lll probably want to plan the various Wiknics for June and July, with the local date of course dependent on local circumstances and preferences. Like for Wikipedia Day this year, we can probably use the fundraising-style super banner to attract more Wiknic participants this summer. Also, if you used Eventbrite or a similar RSVP system for Wikipedia Day, it might be good to reach out to those folks again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic Let me know if you have any questions or ideas, and feel free to reach out individually! Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
