Hoi,
Yes, they were uploaded. They are not that easy to find because they are
things like file:Nl-Zalig Pasen.ogg I found this one for Easter.

The soundfiles are there on Commons but for whatever reason the pages where
they were used are no longer with us :(
Thanks,
 Gerard

  Yeah, it'd be cool to have a tool that allows the subject to record and
 then make their file an ogg, or record it to ogg in a super fast way.

 it's a small, but time consuming thing to record yourself, upload it (or
 whatever) to your computer, and then figure out how to make it into an
 open
 license.

  I'd like to ask your support the project I started:

  
 http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-**http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/**open-licensed-format-**
 recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/

 http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/**open-licensed-format-**
 recordings-voices-wikipedia-**wikimedia-commons/http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/




 asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample
 of their speaking voice, for use on those articles.

 An example script is Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place]
 and I have been [job or position] since [year].

 So far, the participants:

  http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_
 projecthttp://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Category:Voice_intro_**project

 http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Category:Voice_intro_**projecthttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project
 



 include Sue Black, Cory Doctorow, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and
 we've just had our first recording in French - but we need many more.

 Do you know anyone who has an article about them? Do you know of tools
 that would simplify the process of making ogg files, open licensing
 them, and uploading them to Commons? How can we include more speakers
 of other languages?


 I think we really need such a tool, for instance it's a shame that
 Wiktionary doesn't have pronounciation recordings on most of its
 entries.
 Of course it's better if the speaker is authoritative (like the subject

 in

 person for a biography or a professional for Wiktionary), but tools
 would
 help everyone.

[Wikimedia-l] next Wikidata office hour

2013-02-09 Thread Lydia Pintscher
Hey :)

The next Wikidata office hour on IRC in English will be on February
16th (so in 1 week) at 20:00 UTC
(http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=20min=00sec=0day=16month=2year=2013).
It'll happen in #wikimedia-office on freenode. Denny and I will give a
short report on the current state of Wikidata and what's next and then
answer whatever question you might have for example after the
deployment on the English language Wikipedia on Monday.
I hope to see many of you there.


Cheers
Lydia

[Wikimedia-l] Thanks for reports

2013-02-09 Thread Sumana Harihareswara
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who write
summaries and reports of what they and their groups are doing.  For
instance, the chapters' reports, the GLAM newsletter, the weekly
Wikipedia Signpost, and the monthly WMF-wide reports are valuable to me;
in practically every one, I learn something that helps me do my job
better.  I know that each one takes time to put together and I
appreciate your work.  Thank you.
