Also I'm wondering where I could find the nice blue or green background 
that I see used in many first page of Wikimedia presentations


Examples:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Discovery_narrative_FY_2017-18.pdf
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2017_StrangeLoop-_Wait,_it_does_--tahW-_How_supporting_Right-to-Left_can_expose_your_bad_UX_decisions.pdf

Do we have libre office impress for Wikimedia presentation? It would be 
an interesting support. Although, sadly, this file format can not be 
uploaded to Commons, for some reason. That would make existing 
presentations far more reusable, while I don't see any cost at allowing 
the matching file extension.

Saluton ĉiuj,

Your fellow wikimedian was invited to present the Wikimedia movement 
in a conference organized by "Association des Masters en Économie de 
Strasbourg", which will occur Tuesday, November 28th, in Strasbourg 
(who would have guest?).


More information are below in French, but the main point is that the 
conference is entitled "Dissemination of Knowledge: What Limits", 
and after a call to better understand what was expected, the main 
point which will be presented:


1. How is structured the movement (relation between
    WMF/Chapters/Communities/Projects…)
2. What are the requirements of Wikipedia regarding information 
reliability

3. The different knowledge dissemination supports: what limits?

The main point, in term of coverage, will be the second.

No concern worries me about being able to cover all this topics in a 
way far more extensive than required for this conference. However, 
it would be appreciable if feedback was provided regarding what the 
community as a whole think important to highlight. More broadly any 
other advise that the topic or the main points might inspire to you 
would be warmly welcome.


Ĝis baldaŭ,

Good evening

I think you should exercise more caution in forwarding entire private 
discussions (which include phone number etc.) by email to a public list.
You are perfectly right, I wasn't cautious enough on this. Actually it 
was one of my first thought this morning that I hadn't checked the 
whole content of the forwarded email.


May a moderator please remove this details from archives? Especially 
phone numbers. I would expect emails to be automatically transformed 
to avoid easy spam target, but maybe I'm wrong.




Otherwise... by experience, students in France have been repeated 
over and over to be careful about their private information. Hence, 
you should anticipate and expect questions related to privacy on 
Wikimedia projects, and by extension, harassements issues (hot topic 
those days).
Well, of course I'm aware of the harassment issues, but I didn't know 
students were boldly informed on this topic, and I would not have 
expected many question on this given the topic, expect for the right 
to a person's image and right to oblivion. In fact I should probably 
improve my knowledge on this topics too, any reading suggestion is 
welcome.




I invite you to take a look at :

Hi again,

I'm looking for some heat map of Wikimedia projects audience and 
contributors distribution at world scale. So far I found


https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_Map_October_2016_Normal.png

https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/animations/wivivi/wivivi.html but 
would like something


So it's already rather good for illustrating geolocalized article 
coverage and number of /Pageviews per capita to any Wikipedia in 
September 2017/. But I'm not aware of a heat map for contributors, any 
link is welcome.


I'm also interesting in any graph covering evolution of misc. gaps 
(gender, racial…), both in term of article coverage and in rate of 
contributors.


Cheers

[Wikimedia-l] Call for Wikimania '18 Program Committee Members

2017-11-26 Thread Leinonen Teemu
Hi, 

I volunteer to help with the Wikimania 2018: to promote the call, to recruit 
speakers, to review submissions etc. 

I am a long time “wikipedian”, with first time editing already the very first 
year of the project. I have also worked in many conference program committees 
of various kind of international research conferences. More information about 
me is available in here:

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Net neutrality

2017-11-26 Thread Vi to
I have to rely upon my knowledge of plans in EU, I may be wrong with other
"rich Countries", if so please make me aware of.

Time-based tariffs are in "rich countries" are almost out of business. Also
data, cheaper data plans currently includes enough data to make surfing WMF
sites impact very few upon overall consumption. How can you tell "who" is
eligible for WP0? By "who" I mean which countries/places, telco users, etc.
A line between "rich" and "poor" countries is "easy" to draw, others aren't.

Making zero-carrier a default for all of the World would make me drop my
objections. But we firstly need to find a safe and cheap (in terms of
efforts) way to stop abuses, though most of abuses come from Countries
where data traffic is really expensive.

Finally a question: do we have reports about WP0? I mean, traffic, number
of users served, pages delivered, costs?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Net neutrality

In most of the "Western" Countries traffic plans for mobile users cannot be
significantly affected by traffic towards WMF sites. So WP0 should not be
expanded to "the North".

I'm actually puzzled by the possibility for providers to ask fees to WMF in
order to retain a decent quality of service .
