The goal of Wikimania is not to produce pictures of Wikimania, but to
attend to conferences and share experiences, build new projects with
others, etc.
And Even with the OK photo lanyard, it does not mean people like to be
photographed in ridiculous situation or when eating food, etc.

So this is not an herculean task, but it's up to the photographer to get it
right, not the other way around.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wiki (not) Mania?

[Pierre-Selim]

I'm not specially shocked. In France we have a video game retail company
called Micromania (based on microcomputer and mania), who targeted video
game player (I don't think the name of the company is confused by anyone as
a medical condition or an insult).

Long time ago I heard a good joke about the naming of the conference: it
should be called the Wikimedia Conference and what is call now the
Wikimedia Conference should probably be called Wikimania

Re: [Wikimania-l] Fwd: Wikimania Scholarship

[Pierre-Selim]

 such a reply, which I want to
 avoid here.

 If it is need to start a new thread, I will do that. :-)

 But please tell me why some people regularly get scholarships atleast
 since 2008, active (in Wikimedia projects / outreach programms) users 
 never
 get a chance to share their experience and problems at Wikimania.

 Hi,

 Osmar Valdebenito,
 No offense was intended :-(. For prominent communities that may be
 true, but could you check list of users who got scholarship from Malayalam
 community.


 Amir Ladsgroup,

 1) As you can see there is nothing confidential or personal in Gerards
 reply. He just gave a summary of known practices.
 2) Users are not asking for trophies. They also want to participate
 Wikimania and share and get the experience.
 3) Wikimedia projects are community processes. I simply don't
 understand how granting scholarship to same persons again and again for
 five or six years help that process. I also dont understand that
 communication and sharing of multiple viewpoints, ideas and practices is
 possible in the above scenario.
 4) Yes; If clicking tick marks in translatewiki on some 500 string in
 5 minutes before applying for scholarship (as reviewing the translation) 
 is
 a prominent contribution.

 In the beginning every body treated equal, we have multiple
 participants (with understandable reasons) for Wikimania. It started to
 shrink later and now people plainly believe granting scholarship is an act
 of favoritism. I also want to prove I am wrong.

 3- People are expected to come here and learn, communicate, etc.
 that's why a same person gets scholarship,
 4- No one's wife got scholarship because of being wife of someone.
 They probably are prominent contributors too.
 5- Check my first question and answer that. (Emphasizing)

 evaluated thousand of applications in the Scholarship Committee.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Weather warning,

From South of France point of view, temperature are cold (we are used to
36+ °C).
I bet from Islandic point of view it's just high temperature record ...

So I guess it's just a question of point of view.

 Dear all,

 Unfortunately, high temperatures are expected to return today with a
 forecast high of 26 degrees and probably still no rain. But we have better
 news for the weekend with heavy rain promised for Saturday, so you are
 likely to get a chance to use your umbrellas and other London type gear.

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2643743

 Most Wikimanians will be spending most of the day indoors, except of
 course for smokers. The organisers of the cricket match have found a
 covered venue for  Saturday night's match, so neither rain nor lightning
 should be a problem.

Commons is ok for some pictures, but just remember Commons has a project

 Wikimedia Commons is OK for pictures of the events. But I agree with you
 for a Flickr group : perhaps some people don't mind but *I* don't want
 pictures including myself to be under a free license, so you can't put all
 the pictures taken in Wikimania on Wikimedia Commons.
