Dear all, we’re really happy to announce the first ever Coolest Tool Award <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Coolest_Tool_Award>! Tools play an essential role at Wikimedia, and so do the many volunteer developers who experiment with new ideas, develop & maintain local & global solutions and bridge workflow gaps for the Wikimedia communities. There are incredible many great tools out there. It’s time to celebrate this & to make the work volunteer developers do more visible to everyone :-) The Coolest Tool Award ceremony will take place at Wikimania, as part of the official program: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Technology_ outreach_%26_innovation/Coolest_Tool_Award_2019 The award is organized & selected by this year's Coolest Tool Academy. The plan is to award the greatest tools in a variety of categories: For example: “best Commons tool” to recognize the value of a tool for a specific project, or “best newcomer” to award the work of a fairly new developer. As no one can possibly know all the cool tools out there, we’re looking for some help & inspiration: Please point us to the tools that you think are great - out of any reason you can think of! Please use this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ip5Sb_CDvgO6IN2f51V3WjkVYU9Sa- nneX5PoY0sjoo/viewform to recommend tools by July 29, 2019. You can nominate as many tools as you want by filling out the form multiple times. This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Coolest_Tool_Award_ 2019_Survey_Privacy_Statement Thank you very much for your ideas & recommendation(s)! We will continue to spread the word over the next 1-2 days, but if you get the chance, please feel welcome to share this information with others too! If you have any questions, please contact us at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Coolest_Tool_Award. Thanks :-) Birgit, for the Coolest Tool Academy 2019 -- Birgit Müller (she/her) Director of Technical Engagement Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
