I didn't say WMUK and you haven't asked WMUK... what does WMUK have to
do with it?

A common mistake, to confuse WMUK with Wikimedia-L  !!

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] So who knows about their local wifi?

2012-05-02 Thread Gordon Joly


I recall a friend (who knows stuff) ran an open wifi network at home, in 
a house that stood in a field in the countryside. I said, what is your 
security? He replied: my dog - it barks if anybody gets close enough to 
see the wifi signal.


Case closed, m'lud?

Gordon came up with a good list of what is available - one it does not
include is the Google tool - does anyone have user knowledge of it?

Not me, but I thought you wanted an open-source tool?

[Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania 2013 - winner announced

2012-05-02 Thread HJ Mitchell
Members of this list might be interested to know that Wikimania 2013 will be 
held in Hong Kong.

I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say congratulations to Hong Kong, and 
heartfelt commiserations to the London team, who have put a great deal of 
effort into the bid.

 Perhaps I should rephrase my previous nonsensical reply:

 Is this really OGL? I suppose it is, but the Flickr account seems to think

 Yes. It's published by the DCMS, and according to their website, it's Crown 
 Copyright, and thus under the terms of the PSI Framework, is OGL.

 http://www.dcms.gov.uk/copyright.aspx
 http://www.dcms.gov.uk/7085.aspx#Flickr_policy

 There's no indication on the Flickr page that it is owned by anyone other 
 than the DCMS, and thus we have good reason to believe it's covered by the 
 OGL. There is an existing license on the Flickr images, and reusers are free 
 to reuse it under CC BY-NC-ND if they feel so inclined. But we've had other 
 OGL images from other government departments that are also licensed on Flickr 
 as some variant of CC that's not Commons compatible.

 The DCMS are aware though, through Twitter and email. As are James Forrester 
 and various other people who grok OGL.
