[Wikimedia-l] Re: Vote for your favourite sound logo

[Mike Peel]

Hi,

Just to say thank you for sharing the finalists under a free license on 
Commons:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2022_Wikimedia_sound_logo_contest_finalists
Will the non-finalist sounds also be shared there? Commons needs more 
freely licenced audio files!


Thanks,
Mike

So, please have a listen or listen again, and help select the sound of 
Wikimedia .

Wow, I'm really impressed at the quality of these proposed sound
logos.  It's going to be hard to choose!

Thank you to all of the contributors, organizers, and volunteer
screeners.

was wonderful to hear all of the potential final sound

to choose a single sound.
One consideration that could have been included in the
How to Vote section - the sound should be one people
would not tire of hearing frequently...as we do
indeed hope they will hear it often!

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Research Showcase] December 14

[Emily Lescak]

Hi all,

The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed next Wednesday, December
14. Find your local time here .

The title of the Showcase is, 'A year in review from the WMF Research team:
Tying our work to the research community.'

The Wikimedia Research community is key to tackling the many strategic
challenges of the Wikimedia movement. As we are ending the year, the
Research team will reflect on why working with the community is important
to us. We will share the initiatives, tools, and resources developed
throughout 2022 to bring the community together, facilitate researchers’
contributions to the Wikimedia projects, and encourage a diversity of
research questions.

YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0ss9ckUlvQ

You can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. You can also
watch our past Showcases here:

Warm regards,

Emily
