Leaving South Africa in 1 month
by David Richfield 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi all, I will be leaving South Africa to take a job in Germany on 1 September. As I will still be a South African citizen, I will not be resigning from WMZA in the near future, but will be even less useful than usual. Kind regards, David -- David Richfield [[:en:User:Slashme]] +27718539985

Outdated information on wikilovesmonuments.co.za?
by Nick Roux 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Is the information on the wikilovesmonuments website still valid or should we clear this and replace with a message until updated information is available? Specifically http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/Awards We are promoting WLM and people are starting to go to the website, but may become confused if outdated 2012 information is reflected. Regards Nick Roux

Call for volunteers for Wiki Loves Monuments South Africa 2013
by Douglas Scott 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hello everyone, In preparation for this years Wiki Loves Monuments South Africa<http://www.wikilovesmonuments.co.za/>(WLM) Wikimedia ZA is putting out a call for volunteers from all provinces to help plan and host WLM events throughout the month of September. If you are interested then please email me and/or sign up at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_ZA_2013#Call_for_volunt… Similar to what was done in Cape Town and Kimberly last year when treasure hunts and upload marathons were organised to help promote and facilitate WLM during September we would like to organise the same sort of events for this year's competition in as many provinces and towns as possible. In order for us to do this we need volunteers from as many different provinces as possible to help make these events happen on the ground. This year I suggest we combine the monument/treasure hunts (3-4 hours) with the upload marathons (+- 2 hours). However it is completely up to the local volunteer how and which events they wish to organise. All we ask is that - volunteers keep us informed of what you are planing (so we can publicise the event). - it be directly relevant to the competition (that is to say, taking pictures of monuments). - It takes place in September 2013. - It takes place in South Africa. Volunteers will be responsible for assisting in the organising and hosting of events in their respective provinces. Currently we only have people in the Western Cape and Gauteng to host events. Even though these two provinces have some volunteers present for them we still would like more volunteers to help expand the number of events that we can carry out in September. A full list of registered monuments can be found in your province at: http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/Lists_of_monuments Please also check out our page on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/WLMZA?fref=ts Thanks and best regards, -- Douglas Ian Scott 司道格 Skype: douglas0scott South African mobile number: +27 (0)79 515 872

Fyi ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Von: "Oona Castro" <ocastro(a)wikimedia.org> Datum: 21.07.2013 18:48 Betreff: [Wikimedia-l] 3rd Global Congress on IP & OpenAir Conference on Innovation & IP in Africa An: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, I've received an email from the organizers of the 3rd Global Congress on IP & OpenAir Conference on Innovation & IP in Africa ( http://www.openair.org.za/capetown2013) which will take place from 9 to 13 December, in Cape Town, calling for participation from Wikimedia movement. I've attended the Global Congress on IP in the the past, when I was leading researches on the subject in Brazil, and they were an opportunity to engage with other researchers, know better the global picture and problems of IP and discuss global initiatives and threats among both global north and global south perspectives. Would there be anyone interested in participating of this meeting this year? I strongly recommend people engaged in IP and international treaties debates join them. Perhaps someone from South Africa? Best regards Oona -- Oona Castro Consultant for the Brazilian Catalyst Program at Wikimedia Foundation + 55 21 81812505 Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
