All, As you know, we celebrated the WikiXDC on Jan 22nd, 2011 at the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington DC, United States. We would like to present a 3 hour event video<http://www.mlwiki.in/videos/wikixdc.html> for everyone to enjoy (and download to keep if you like) . Some sessions could not be covered/covered at length due to technical difficulties. The event video was not a part of the original plan, but we are glad that we could at least this much. We would like to thank everyone who helped us to make the event a success. Thanks.

Wikipedia 10 in Kyoto, Jan 22 （ウィキペディア10周年感謝のつどい）
by KIZU Naoko 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello, Wikimedians in Kansai ([[m:WiKansai]]) hosted a WP10 event in Kyoto, on Saturday, January 22nd. The event consisted of two parts, lecture and party, at Hatena Inc. HQ and an izakaya, casual tavern in Japanese style, respectively. Around 30 people attended in a sum and had a good time. The audience included hard core Wikimedians, students, business people, engineers and academics. Most of them are living in Kansai region, but some came from other cities like Tokyo. The event is titled ウィキペディア10周年感謝のつどい in Japanese, literally meaning Wikipedia 10th Anniversary: Appreciation meeting. Appreciation from volunteers, readers and any other people who feel Wikipedia benefit their lives, to everyone who made it come in reality. Lecture part: Hatena Inc. (http://hatena.ne.jp) Kyoto HQ offered us the venue for free as well streaming which three staffers of them took care. I gave a short welcoming and thanking message, then we watched Jimmy's video letter, subtitled by User:Whym Ting Chen aka Wing on skype video chat gave also a welcoming, thanking and encouraging message to be committed to make Wikipedia much greater: he surprised the audience with introductory in Japanese and his message was received very warmly. And a keynote: a local academic, Hideo Toyama gave a lecture titled "Meaning of being sincere intellectually", how his view toward Wikipedia has changed, how academics and students consider and use Wikipedia, what on Wikipedia they notice and not, how Wikipedia could enlighten and alter our epistemological view - before Wikipedia who could have imagine an encyclopedia changed minute by minute? - and overall how we should treat Wikipedia. His analysis and proposal "use Wikipedia in an appropriate way with full knowledge how it works" were thoughtful and positive, on contrary of a popular view to Wikipedia "unreliable so don't use". Social hours: after Toyama's keynote, we had a good time there with beer and pizza briefly. Shinji Tanaka Hatena Inc. CTO gave his best wishes toward us at Wikipedia for toasting. During social hours at Hatena, some Japanese Wikipedians in other regions took minutes to give their friendly messages on skype. Some expressed their own view and opinions on Wikipedia and the audience in venue seemed to take it interesting as testimonials from hardcore Wikipedians. At the closing of Part 1 and for transmitting to Part 2, User:VZP10224 who led the organizing team gave a small speech. Then we walked down in the early evening Kyoto and went into an izakaya. We occupied a tatami room and enjoyed chatting, good taste dishes and sake and so on :) People showed their enthusiasm to the project, brought opinions and proposals, or asked opinions on their own projects and ideas which could collaborate with Wikipedia. Overall, it was very amusing and exciting hours and we entertained each other. Lecture part has some online records, enjoy :) video: http://vimeo.com/19253436 (mostly in Japanese, very long) Jimmy's video letter subtitled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idquQGVVwao photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/takot/sets/72157625828438525/ On behalf of Wikimedians in Kansai, I'd appreciate everyone who helped us to make happen.

Re: [WikiX-l] Post-anniversary shipments

Hi, Could someone help to explain why all we get is silence? If we won't get any merchandise from WMF for the meetup and the Wiki-X event, then at least let us know so we won't keep waiting. If the merchandise has been shipped to us, then we can hold another activity for it since the shipping is already late and we couldn't make it for the meetup tomorrow. Thanks.

10 Wikipedia @ Bikaner ( India)
by Apurva Tripathi 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

Hi Everyone, One more event in India conducted at Engineering College Bikaner. The snaps will be uploaded soon. About 40-50 guys joined it. It was awesome to be there. I travelled about 120 miles for attending the event. It started with the introduction to Open Source. Then a simple introduction to Wikipedia by Sristhi Sethi. Some facts about Wikimedia foundation from Supriya. One another guy ( I don't know his name but that was the best part) asked some questions about Wikimedia Foundation and distributed some goodies. A video message from Jimmy Wales. Editing Tutorial about Wikipedia and Wiki commons by Apurva Tripathi. A discussion about deletion policy of Wikipedia . Then finally a signature campaign. It was great to be there. A new chapter of Wikipedia began at Bikaner. The one more thing I would like to admit that we really missed the T-shirts. Is there any way to ask for T-shirts so they can be distributed to organizers and participants? Apurva Tripathi
