Every time I see the title of this thread, I momentarily wonder why this
event is being held 220 years ago.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] "What's making you happy this week?" emails paused

[Pine W]

Hello colleagues,

As an update regarding WMYHTW emails, they will probably remain paused
for June, and I am not sure that they will return. However, there will
be an "On the bright side" piece in this month's Signpost regarding
the 500,000 article milestone for Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia.

I think that I have enough capacity to continue monthly "On the bright
side" pieces in The Signpost for June onward.

I did not intend "What's making you happy this week?" to mean in
practice "What's making Pine happy this week?", but unfortunately that
is what often happened. I would be glad to see other people write
similar emails.

Thank you for reading,

Pine

[Wikimedia-l] 2020 Community Spotlight Survey

[Chris Koerner]

Hello Wikimedians around the world


In these difficult times many of us miss the chance to connect in person
with other Wikimedians. We miss the events and meetings where we could
learn from and about each other. So we thought to use this time to learn
from each other more about the great people that make up our communities.
We would like to give some of them a bit of a spotlight in our virtual
spaces like our blogs and social media in the absence of physical
connection points.

Do you know a community member who has accomplished something new or
inspiring in the last year? Someone who you think the rest of the community
should know about? If so, please take a few minutes and nominate them in
the survey below.

Let us know about their inspiring work, whatever form it took, online or
offline. This can include but is not limited to adding important content
directly to one of our projects, encouraging and supporting others in
adding content, teaching the public about Wikipedia or other Wikimedia
projects, building partnerships, or organizing events and helping your
local community thrive. We are also curious to learn about the different
ways people enrich our movement!

Use the following link to take the survey.


   -

   https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0plqKWa1o1ztZ1b?target=ML-l
   



Thank you in advance for helping us highlight more wonderful people and
accomplishments from all over the world!

Your privacy is important to us and is governed by the linked privacy
statement. In this survey, we will request your contact information and
that of the individual you are nominating. Please be sure that the person
you are nominating understands you are providing us with their information.
We will use this information to get in touch with nominees, should they
meet our selection criteria. We will retain this contact information
indefinitely unless you or the person you nominate request its deletion or
update it in a subsequent survey; please see the privacy statement

for details.

Thanks for the link, Ciell, I easily get confused about time zones.
