Local associations
by Anthere 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Hi, This week, I have been contacted by two different languages (nl and it) to discuss creation of local association and membership issues. There is currently one association : the german verein. The French people will probably created "Wikimedia France" in october or november of this year. I understand Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium are interested as well. I will give a few initial comments to both languages. Further discussions will occur where you think best. I will try to write in simple english. I hope most people will understand. ------ First : Opinion on local assocations. We understand the need of creating local associations, and support it. I think it is important to create local associations. It gives a sense of belonging to a local community (for example, it help organising local events). It also is beneficial for legal issues (for example, local donations or tax refunds). Mostly, we want to do things the way the community feels it is best. ----- Second : What is required to have an association recognised and welcome by the Foundation. Anyone can create anytime an association of the type "The friends of Wikipedia". However, we wish that all local associations and the foundation be united. Essentially, this shall be done through agreeing to a common mission statement. Second, as mentionned in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership_fees The foundation will consider that all participants to any wikimedia project will be voluntary members per default. Besides, any contributing member (this is how we call members who pay dues to an association) giving money to an association, will be considered a contributing member of the foundation, provided that there is an agreement with the foundation. We made an agreement with the german association. It will have to refund a minimum of 6 dollars to the foundation, for each paying member. This amount is the minimal amount asked for a contributor to a project to be a member. Now, we are aware that legislation differ depending on countries, so the way the money is transfered has to be studied on a case by case. For example, germans have to give a reason for money transfert, such as the purchase of a server. Of course, each situation will be considered. I'll add on top of this, that we proposed to offer to each starting association a small amount of money to help it get started (there are some creation fees). ------ Third : association in countries with multiple languages The creation of an association in Belgium for example, will be very interesting, since this country is not monolingual, and is likely to have several members from different languages. We will have to consider this very carefully, so that the money collected in one country, is managed to help all languages in the country if possible. Also, I hope that french speakers from Belgium are to be involved in that creation as well ;-) ------ Fourth : legal issues. I would like to know where you stand on this since the first thing to do is to draft bylaws. You may wish to study the structures already set by the germans and drafted by the french. ------ I am very excited by the prospective of all those future local chapters :-) Anthere anthereATwikimedia.org _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Wikipedia meetup 2005
by Elisabeth Bauer 10 Sep '04

10 Sep '04

Hello, At ars electronica in Linz Jimbo and I had the idea to hold a Wikipedia meetup next summer. Since people from as many wikimedia projects as possible should be able to participate we decided on Europe as the best place to do this, and we'll be trying to get funding for wikipedians from other continents to join in the fun. Now, the exact location is to be decided. There are several important criterias, like number of local wikipedians, closeness to an international airport, costs and abilities of conference facilities... The details can be found on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meetup_2005 Where the conference is hosted will be a community decision along the lines of the Olympic games selection: I'd like to encourage everyone to place proposals on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meetup_2005 with detailed information so we can choose the place which offers the most advantages. Most important are of course conference facilities and dates where they are still free. Since most conference facilities have to be booked long in advance and there will be enough organisational stuff left to do, I suggest a deadline of one month, ending 10th of october. Please translate this posting and make it public in your project so that as many wikipedians as possible have a chance to participate in the discussion and the choice. greetings, Elian

The deletion of not used pictures
by Gerard Meijssen 10 Sep '04

10 Sep '04

On nl:wikipedia a valid reason for the deletion of pictures is that they are not used. I have asked at "the kroeg" that they should not be deleted in anticipation of WikiCommons. Andre Engels asked me why I thought that there will be a WikiCommons as both he and I have so far been given the cold shoulder treatment on WikiCommons. His question is fair. What do I base my trust on that there will be in the near future a WikiCommons ? Question: *Should these pictures be deleted from nl:wikipedia ? *When will there be a place where we can upload material that is not used on nl:wikipedia and that will be eventually available in WikiCommons ? Thanks, GerardM

T-shirts
by Walter Vermeir 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:De_kroeg#T-shirts Voor wie de Kroeg niet zoveel bezoekt of het gewoon gemist zou hebben; Wie zou een exclusief Wikipedia T-shirt graag willen kopen? Het is enkel een peiling om te zien hoeveel interesse ervoor is. Men kan er dus nog geen kopen. Het uitkijken naar prijzen en het aanmaken gaat pas gebreuren als er een groepje is dat heeft aangegeven een T-shirt wel te willen kopen. Indien u er meerdere zou kopen geef dat dan ook mee. Prijzen zijn er dus nog niet maar het lijkt mij waarschijnlijk dat we hier spreken over prijzen in de richting van 5 a 10 euro het stuk + verzendingskosten. Ik maak hier reclame omdat ik graag een T-shirt zou willen maar dan moet er wel genoeg volk zijn. Zet uw naam er niet op indien niet ernstig.
