the Department of Fun would like to help celebrate 10 years
by Rob Schnautz 07 Jan '11

(the following message was posted at tenwiki:Ideas on 03:52, 7 January 2011 (UTC)) Attention, Event Holders! The Department of Fun <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DOF> at the English Wikipedia has been working very hard on developing a unique trading card game <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:TCG> based on the English Wikipedia. The profits (beyond production) will benefit Wikimedia, as we'd like to continue the non-profit tradition. We'd like to thank all the Wikipedians in the world (and the Wikipedia fans) who have helped make Wikipedia worthy of its own trading card game, so we're offering a free promotional trading card to everyone. Unfortunately, since the game is still under development, we're only able to offer a coupon at the moment which can be redeemed after the game's release (which might easily be a few years from now). We encourage all event leaders to download and print several copies to distribute at your events <http://wptcg.wikia.com/wiki/File:Coupon2011.png>. Thanks, Event Leaders, and happy anniversary, Wikipedia! On behalf of the Department of Fun <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DOF>, Bob the Wikipedian <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bob_the_Wikipedian> ^(talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bob_the_Wikipedian> . contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bob_the_Wikipedian>) 03:52, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Czech Republic event
by okino 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Dear friends, I just want to inform You, that Wikimedia Czech Republic joined the global family of Wikimedians celebrating the Wikipedia 10 anniversary with a special event. A public concert, that will take place in Prague January 15, will be arranged from works of the famous Czech composers like Dvorak, Smetana, Janacek and others. And as all the performed works are in public domain and as all the performers agreed to make their performances under free license, the concert will be (audio-)recorded and the recordings will be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. So we hope You will be able to enjoy the music later and learn something about our culture this way. Happy 10th Wikipedia Birthday to everyone! Okino Wikimedia Czech Republic

Licensing of books in Bookshelf
by shirish शिरीष 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi all, A query. I went and downloaded few of the books from bookshelf http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf/ which we are hoping to use in the 10th Anniversary Wikipedia celebrations being held in Pune. Please see ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune/ While going over/leafing over the books I couldn't find any licensing information of the books in question. For e.g. Evaluating_Wikipedia_article_quality_2010-11-26.pdf or Welcome2WP_English_082310.pdf neither of them have any explicit license attached to them. The only info./reference I could find is the Wikimedia foundation address on the last page. No CC licenses. Please clarify the above. Also please CC me as while I'm subscribed to the list but Mail delivery is shut off. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
