Hi,
Topic: Sandbox Server (http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sandbox_Server)
I have "speak" with Daniel of the German Wikimedia and he has said that the WMDE would sponsor us a server. The details and condition:
• We (respectively one of us) rent the server and we (the person) send the bill to the WMDE and then they repays the costs
• The WMDE gives for first time max. 50 €/month
• The server hosts only projects, software, etc. which are for the Wikimedia community
• We must send every three month a report which include:
o Current projects
o How the community accepts the projects
o Our ideas for the next three months (which extensions, software, etc. should be develop, which software should test, etc.)
If all is OK, we need one who rents the server and we must create a first report of our ideas for the next three months.
Daniel of the WMDE is in the mailing list, too. We can ask him if there are some questions.
Viele Grüße
Jan Luca

The people who run that site need to wake up.
It's buggy
Hi everyone,
Today at 18:00 UTC will be IRC Office Hours with the Wikimedia
Foundation's Executive Director, Sue Gardner. As usual it will take
place in #wikimedia-office on irc.freenode.net. You can find links to
time conversions and a guide to accessing IRC at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
Reflecting on the past few chat sessions, we've noticed that the most
productive (in terms of most questions answered, most participants etc.)
have been the ones with a little bit of prep work on the topic. The
recent fundraising session, Sue's on Pending Changes, and interviews
with new Wikimedia staff have all been extremely helpful.
That's why we'd like to try something a little different for Sue's
Office Hours today.
We're going to devote the first 30 minutes for a structured topic
discussion. During that 30 minutes attendees can write their questions
on the Meta page mentioned above, and simultaneously !vote on/discuss
the proposed questions. The 3-6 top questions will be answered during
the second half of the hour. This way we actually answer the questions
that interest the attendees, rather than miss really valuable questions
and discussion.
We hope you'll try this experiment with us. We're trying to find some
balance between a free-flowing discussion and some structure that allows
deeper conversation about topics important to Wikimedia.
Thanks,

Hello:
I could really use your help organizing some mathematics courses at
P2PU (http://p2pu.org) this winter. This past autumn, I ran a sort of
informal mathematics seminar there, and I discovered that independent
learners tend to need more structure ;-/
I've outlined 6 courses that I think people would be interested in here:
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Arided/MathCourses
They are:
1. Short Precalculus
2. Short Calculus
3. Short Advanced Calculus
4. Mathematics for computer programmers
5. Mathematics for game designers
6. Short statistics
I could use your help (a) turning the outlines into proper syllabi
(using existing Wikipedia, Wikiversity, or PlanetMath material?); and
(b) helping facilitate the courses!
Please reply here, or on the respective Wikiversity talk pages, or
email me directly, holtzermann17(a)gmail.com -- if you're not interested
but you know someone who might be, please relay this note.
Thanks!
Joe

If you do not have an IRC client, there are two ways you can come chat using
a web browser: First, using the Wikizine chat gateway at <

nickname, select irc.freenode.net from the top menu and #wikimedia-office
from the following menu, then login to join.
Or, you can access Freenode by going tohttp://webchat.freenode.net/, typing
in the nickname of your choice and choosing #wikimedia-office as the
channel. You may be prompted to click through a security warning, which you
can click to accept.
Please feel free to forward and translate this email to any list I may have
missed and I hope to see everyone there!
