Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Along with Vector, a new look for changes
to the Wikipedia identity
To: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi folks,
Over the next day or so you'll be seeing some exciting changes to the
Wikipedia user interface as Vector rolls out across English Wikipedia.
In an earlier note on that topic, User Experience team project manager Naoko
Komura mentioned another change - one that will bring some small
improvements to the Wikipedia identity, namely the Wikipedia puzzle globe
and the construction of the Wikipedia wordmark - the word and sentence
underneath the puzzle globe.
The first major change you'll see is a slightly different looking Wikipedia
puzzle globe. Over a year ago the Foundation began to recognize the need to
have the puzzle globe logo improved slightly - mostly because we had some
errors in the type characters featured in the puzzle globe, and also because
we needed a better quality version that could print better and at a larger
scale. We also needed to do that without dramatically changing one of the
most recognized and beloved logos on the internet.
It seemed like an opportune moment to take our 2D globe, lovingly created by
WP user:Nohat and improved/modified a cast of many other volunteers back in
2003, and take it to a truly 3D object. If we were going to undertake this
process, we knew we would first need to populate the 'dark side of the
puzzle globe' - and of course we turned to our volunteers to do just that.
Cary Bass worked with a team of volunteers to begin that process, and to
revisit the many suggested and improvised fixes to the globe that have taken
place over the years. Most of that discussion played out on a meta page
here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/Logo
The results are fantastic, and now you can see many new languages and
scripts represented. The final state for our puzzle globe is quite similar
to the original, fixes some errors, and has replaced the Klingon logo with
an Amharic character.
The actual 3D construction of the new mark was carried out by a professional
3D animator, art director, and graphic designer, Philip Metschan, who is
based in the SF Bay Area. Through his career Philip has worked for
Industrial Light and Magic and Pixar, and currently he's also a
visualization and concept artist for the DIRECT program (not surprisingly,
it can be learned about on Wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIRECT
).
We've created a new page on the Foundation wiki that talks about the revised
3D globe as well as the other improvements underway to the wordmark:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_official_marks/About_the_offi…
You'll notice that the new variation of the typeface uses Linux Libertine as
an alternative to Hoeffler, the original typeface used to create the
wordmark. In order to facilitate the creation of so many new variations of
the Wikipedia identity it was important to find a viable alternative -
Hoeffler is a commercial typeface that not every project would have access
to, nor own. Linux Libertine is very close to Hoeffler in its shape and
style, and for on-screen viewing is almost identical to Hoeffler.
The User Experience team also investigated another minor improvement:
replacing the italicized "The Free Encyclopedia" with regular typeface.
This ultimately resulted in improved on-screen readability, particularly in
non-roman character sets.
Right now volunteers are working with the new localization guide to create
the hundreds of new identities needed for each language variation of
Wikipedia. You can see the Commons gallery filling up here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/2.0
If you're interested in supporting this effort you can simply follow the
guide referenced on the page, or reach out to the Foundation's volunteer
coordinator, Cary Bass, directly, cary(a)wikimedia.org.
It will take some time to create all of the marks, and initially the ops and
User Experience team are rolling out the new identity on English Wikipedia
and then focussing on other languages as soon as possible.
Hopefully the millions of dedicated users of Wikipedia will appreciate this
minor improvement to the Wikipedia identity across all of the project
languages. This is also a great new tool for chapter and volunteer
representatives around the world - this scalable, crisper version of the new
puzzle globe is easier to work with in a variety of situations, but retains
the character and look of its predecessor. As with any important identity,
I'm certain it will see further evolutions and improvements. We're open to
hearing your thoughts and views for the next iteration.
Later today we'll also be posting this news to the Wikimedia blog, alongside
updated news about the Vector roll-out, scheduled to unfold over the next 12
hours.
I'd like to thank again the dozens of volunteers who have worked over the
last year+ to navigate the challenge of filling up this now 3D globe with
new symbols and marks, and the countless others who have scrutinized the
first drafts of the logo to suggest improvements (like proper orientation
for characters). Cary Bass has been instrumental in mapping out all of
these minor and major changes along with the volunteers, and the user
experience team - particularly Parul, Naoko, Trevor, and Nimish, along with
Hannes, should also be recognized for putting so much patience and
dedication into this effort. Thanks as well to Philip Metschan for spending
so much time and investing so much effort and detail into the design.
We also have to recognize the dozens of (and next dozen of) volunteers who
will continue to localize the new identity in different languages, as well
as the original efforts of user:nohat and those early pioneers who brought
this identity to life in 2003. This enormous and truly unique design effort
astounds me, and it's one of the most impressive examples of our
collaborative capacity outside of the work of Wikipedia itself.
Thanks!
jay

Subject: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2011 announcement
To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <
wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <
foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear all,
(I am really happy to send a message on a completely new topic :) )
The Wikimania jury has selected Haifa, Israel as the location for
Wikimania 2011. The Haifa team presented a compelling, detailed bid[1]
that the Wikimania jurors were very impressed by. As usual, all of
the Wikimania bids had good points, and it was a very difficult
decision. Detailed feedback will be sent to all bids. Public
discussion of the bids and the Wikimania process is also welcome, and
we know the winning team will appreciate the community's support and
help in making a great Wikimania.
We also apologize for the lateness of this announcement. We invested a
lot of time in careful consideration of all points. I am happy to
answer questions about the process.
Congratulations to the Haifa team and many thanks to all of the
bidders for working so hard. I personally encourage all bidders to use
the energy that has been put into these bids by hosting smaller
regional events, and considering another bid for Wikimania in the
future.

Subject: [Foundation-l] Chapter selected board seats - call for candidates
To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
To whom it may concern,
Can you, or someone you know, help guide Wikimedia Foundation through
the next exciting steps of its strategic development and growth?
The Wikimedia Chapters are looking for two candidates to sit on the
Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees for 2 years commencing in
July 2010. The new board members will be faced with the challenge of
helping decide the future direction of the only top-10 internet
property that is run by a non-profit organisation. The Wikimedia
websites are constructed by hundreds of thousands of volunteers
world-wide, supported by a small but growing number of staff and an
international network of chapters.
The successful candidates will most importantly be committed to the
Wikimedia mission and willing to work with the various stakeholders of
the Wikimedia movement, including the volunteers and the chapters that
provide essential support for the movement. They will have the time to
do this, with the appropriate communication skills (including a good
standard of English) and ability to work as a team. They will also be
able and willing to travel, and have an international attitude.
The candidates will ideally be open-minded with experience of
international affairs and governance techniques. They will have good
communication skills, as well the ability to think strategically and
to work independently as well as part of a team.
The process that will be followed for this selection can be viewed
here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/Process
All nominations must be sent to the moderator (Thomas Dalton from
Wikimedia UK) and deputy moderator (José Spierts from Wikimedia
Nederlands) by 23:59 UTC 17th May. If you would like to nominate
yourself or someone else, please see the instructions here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/Nominate
The chapters wish to locate truly excellent board members and believe
that can best be done if there are a large number of varied and
quality candidates to consider. Therefore, the chapters ask that
everyone that thinks they, or someone they know, would be a good board
member submit a nomination. They also ask that this call for
candidates be distributed as widely as possible on mailing lists,
village pumps, blogs, etc..
Best regards,
Thomas Dalton,
Moderator
