PNG version is not editable in Inkscape. If main creator create with
Inkscape and share the same file , then it fine for editing.

Looks good, although there are several slides with missing characters,
locked wikis, or wikis for deletion.
I've gone through and removed those bad images, as well as removing the
white flashing between images and cropping the images to fit a standard 4x3
aspect ratio. Below are link s to download the slideshow in whichever format
works best for you (I had to use MassMirror to host the files since they are
larger than 25 MB each):
* PowerPoint 2007-2010
Presentation<http://www.massmirror.com/8d81039a1d1458524828d0f3d4d1fce1.html>
* PowerPoint 97-2003
Presentation<http://www.massmirror.com/5c1a6287901cde281e37221757b155cc.html>
* Open Document
Presentation<http://www.massmirror.com/142b2309a20d6de96c5b119fd7448920.html>
* ZIP folder containing
images<http://www.massmirror.com/2ceef0ae70584146df53edd0175d140c.html>for
a "photo screensaver" if no presentation software is available
I would recommend that before showing this, you make sure your audience's
language is present. If not, it should be fairly simple to add using a
screenshot and an additional slide.
God bless Wikipedia!

Hi Jay and Steven and all of you , I just wanted to tell you that we are all
set to celebrate the event and today we will celebrate the event Kite
festival and the Signature Campaign. We got the banners and the Signature
sheet . We had limited fund so we only have two banners ( 6x3 and 3x6 feet )
and a Signature cloth (6x6 feet). We are having about 50 kites and about 90
stickers to stick everywhere people are going to bring their own kites and
then if they want some more they can ask for that. Fever is getting higher.
You all will soon have the snaps of the first event. We also planed to
celebrate b'day @ 00:00 HRS at our favourite restaurant by having a b'day
cake. Well check the page and give me feedback .

According to the event page, the activity in Beijing & Harbin is done.
In Beijing, it is a online event which run on skype. After the events, some
people shared that they think Wikipedia is useful and can find a lot of
information, see
http://ten.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beijing/zh-hans&uselang=zh-hans
In Harbin, it is a meeting which held in a university. 14 people joined it. It
held yesterday night 6:00 - 8:30 (UTC+8). Them talk about some question and
problem on Wikipedia. The people joined mainly is the student of the university.
More event in China will be held. I am going to give another update on next
week.

Hi, I need some help. In some interviews I had, the media questioned me
about local statistics in the use of Wikimedia projects.
Where I can found this information from the usage of my country (Mexico)?
Thank you so much.
Hi everyone...
I was going to make this myself but I've run out of time, and I hope
someone can do it. (But let's coordinate and make sure we don't have
wasted duplicate effort!)
For the celebration tomorrow, we are going to have a slide projector
showing slides... what I'd like to have is screen shots from 20 (or 50!)
languages of Wikipedia, the front page, one fading into the next...
I wonder as well if anyone knows if any of the other celebrations or
past events have slide shows that could be running quietly in the
background.

It is only 4 days left to 15 January, which is Wikipedia birthday.
Some language translation on meta is ready or proofreading. Since we should let
the editor and reader know about that, I think we shall put up the central
notice as soon as possible and it should be down on the end of January since
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:January_2011 list that except 23 January,
the wikipedian still have activity so I suggest the notice should be up on
today, 11-1-2010 and down on 31-1-2010 or longer.
Thank you.
HW
On the 15th of January, I would like to make myself available for a
short video conference with as many local celebrations as want me to
join in some way. Big or small. If it's 3 people in a coffee shop in
Tajikistan, I'd love to say hi. If it's 100 people at a party or
conference, I'd love to say hi.
From a logistics point of view, the easiest thing for everyone is
probably Skype, but if anyone wants to suggest a free software
alternative, I'm happy with that as well.
I will be in London with decent but not super awesome connection speed.
Time zone doesn't really matter, I can get up in the middle of the
night and go back to bed afterwards. :)
In terms of process, I would propose that we start a page on the ten
wiki where local organizers can post requests, and then Topher and I
will study it and contact people for more details.
