Do these Hubs have anything to do with writing in languages other than English?

Greetings,
What made me happy this week was the establishment of Wikimedia Hub in two academic institutions in Nigeria, University of Ibadan and Nigeria Institute of Journalism. I want to thank members of my community (Wikimedia User Group Nigeria) who made this happened.
Regards,
Isaac

Marielle there are a lot of great medical images in that textbook, Fae is there an ability to upload the images to commons by bot?

What made me happy this week was the discovery of some good scientific imagery that was openly licensed!
The USDA has created a bunch of identification sites for species of agricultural interest and released the images into the public domain. I was looking for images of a particular mite and discovered the Bee Mite site has released most of their images and all of their text to the PD [1]. (I have uploaded to commons although done a bit of a hack job on it). There are other sites which would also be a candidate for batch upload, which are listed here: http://idtools.org/identify.php (anyone interested in molluscs?)
I have also discovered this Clinical Skills textbook licensed under CC by 4 attribution.[2] I am in the process of adding some high quality medical diagrams to articles on wiki. This same website hosts a bunch of other open text books which may be a similarly good source of content: https://opentextbc.ca/

I'm happy to see the development of the Commons Photographers User
Group
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_Photographers_User_Group.
Personal background story (feel free to skip reading this):
The first DSLR I touched was easy to use with the automatic settings
for
indoor photography in good lighting. Based on this limited
experience, I
concluded that photography with a DSLR was easy. Some time later I
bought
my own first DSLR, and quickly got lost. The menus were not intuitive
to me
as a DSLR newbie, there were new terms like "aperture" and "f-stop",
the
manual was written for someone who already had good technical
knowledge
of
how cameras work, and my lens wouldn't focus like I wanted. Wikipedia
has
some helpful articles about photography concepts, but what would have helped me a lot is spending time with an experienced photographer.
After a
few years of trial and error, and asking questions of more
knowledgeable
people, I'm happy with my skill level as a photography hobbyist in a variety of situations. I hope that the new user Commons Photographers
group
will facilitate knowledge exchange, improve camaraderie, and consider
ways
to improve access to equipment -- especially for photographers in situations where resources are scarce and potential for valuable open-source contributions are very high.
What's making you happy this week?
