[Foundation-l] Wikipedia's 10th anniversary

[Steven Walling]

Hi all,

As a few of you know, I have a fellowship in the Wikimedia  
Foundation's Community Department, working for Chief Community Officer  
Zack Exley on a variety of projects. One of these projects is making  
Wikipedia's 10th anniversary one to remember by supporting you  
(Wikimedians) who want to celebrate online and off.

To that end, we've opened up a new space for collaboration at http://ten.wikipedia.org/ 
. Many thanks to the editors who've already showed up to participate.  
For who haven't had a chance to explore it yet, we started the wiki  
for four core activities, which are outlined in our FAQ (http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAQ 
). They are:

1. Gathering a single, detailed list of events that we can point  
interested people to.
2. Hosting some interesting ways to reflect on the anniversary online,  
across Wikipedia communities. If you have ideas for celebrating, this  
is the place to share them.
3. Providing resources for organizers, including a press kit, freely- 
licensed designs that can be localized, and instructions on how to get  
a free set of t-shirts, stickers, buttons etc. for your event.
4. A place to document everything. This wiki will be a great place to  
look back and see what we did to celebrate our first double digit  
anniversary.

Hopefully that gives you a better idea of what we're working on. As  
usual, please be bold and join in!

If you have questions that can't be answered on the wiki or mailing  
list (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l), I am your  
best point of contact. I'd especially like to encourage current or  
potential event organizers to get in touch.

Thanks for reading,

Steven Walling
