took place in Denver, Colorado, the conference administration allowed a big
space for Wikipedia and funded a whole day of workshop about Wikipedia in
the context of museums, in which numerous Wikipedians (such as Phoebe Ayers=

Samuel Klein, Erik M=F6ller, Liam Whyatt und Mathias Schindler) took part.
Fortunately the workshop itself was well visited, an in-depth report will b=

published in Wikipedia Signpost as well as other sources. Due to a certain
Vulcano, the journey home was a small adventure in its own right, analogue
to the stranded Wikimedians in Berlin, Germany.
On the 26. to the 29. of April, organised by the University of Sao Paulo un=

the Brasillian Ministry of Education, the =93International Symposium of Pub=

=3D=3D Softwareprojects =3D=3D

For April we have to announce results for two long term software-projects:
First the extension for displaying TIFF-images [19], which was developed by
the Hallo Welt Medienwerkstadt, is finished. The extension only needs to be
examined by the Server-Admins before it can be activated. Secondly WikiPics=
,
a multilingual search engine for commons: here [20] the (still a bit slow)
alpha-version can be tested. Shortly a revised version is planned to go
online, which can be used for the daily use in the commons.
The next office report =A0will be published on the 31th of May 2010.
