[Wikimedia-l] On now: European Dialog on Internet Governance
Those oft you interested in Internet governance can follow the EuroDIG conference in Lisbon right now via webcast: http://www.eurodig.org/important/webcast-remote-participation and / or follow the hastag #EuroDIG in Twitter. Yesterday we had the General Assembly oft EURALO, the regional at-large organisation where I represent Wikimedia CH and Wikimedia Österreich AS members of ICANN At-Large. I will serve another term von the EURALO board. We had a very interesting visit from ICANN's new president and CEO Fahdi Chehade. With its multi-stakeholder approach and also developed and grown based in external needs and in ever-changing environment it faces similar challenges like the Wikimedia movement. This was a surprising understanding for me, having experienced ICANN as a big, bureaucratic organisation. I am aiming toward an exchange, being aware that is still hard to be heard within ICANN but without our critical and demanding voices we give away our ability to influence policy making on the Internet. /Manue ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Celebrating ten years of Wikimedia Foundation
Dear friends, I have the awesome pleasure of notifying everyone today of a special anniversary. Ten years ago today, Jimmy Wales announced the creation of the Wikimedia Foundation on the still pretty new Wikipedia-l mailing list. Today you'll find a blog post (also posted below) that looks back on an extraordinary 10 years of growth for the Foundation, our projects, our movement organizations, and our volunteer community. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/06/20/ten-years-of-supporting-free-knowledge Birthdays are often one-day-focused things, but like our recent ten year anniversary of Wikipedia, I know we'll be thinking about this incredible milestone over the entire coming year. We look forward to hearing your reflections and thoughts about the Foundation - whether your contact with the org started ten days ago or ten years. Thank you for being a part of the Foundation and part of the Wikimedia movement. Here's to another huge ten years! --- Ten years of supporting free knowledge Posted by Jay Walsh on June 20, 2013 Ten years ago today, on June 20, 2003, Jimmy Wales announced the founding of the Wikimedia Foundation. He entrusted the new nonprofit with the operation of Wikipedia, launched two and a half years prior. Wales recalled the early days of Wikipedia and marveled that it has grown to be such an important and ubiquitous source of free information for the world. “It is hard to imagine that in 2003, Wikipedia was still running on just two servers – which I used to administer myself in the beginning,” said Wales, who noted that he founded the Wikimedia Foundation because he believed Wikipedia would need the support of a stable and trusted institutional base for years to come. The Wikimedia Foundation’s second Board of Trustees (photo taken at Wikimania 2006). From left to right: Tim Shell, Florence Nibart-Devouard, Jimmy “Jimbo” Wales, Michael Davis, Angela Beesley “Ten years later, the Foundation continues to fulfill that role, thanks to the trust of our millions of donors, the hard work of its staff, the thoughtful oversight enacted by my fellow Board of Trustees members and last but not least the many thousands of volunteers who not only manage and build our projects, but also take an active part in the governance of the Foundation,” Wales said. Those two early servers, which belonged to Jimmy Wales’ company at the time, have now grown to more than 800 servers operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. They are the backbone of the free knowledge projects that serve over half a billion readers each month, with 21 billion monthly pageviews. The Foundation also provides the legal basis for projects, defending them against legal threats and protecting the trademarks that have come to represent the global community’s work. The name “Wikimedia” had been suggested earlier in 2003 by Wikipedia editor Sheldon Rampton for an endeavour that would “use Wiki-style rules to enable public participation in the creation and editing of all kinds of media: encyclopedias and other reference works, current news, books, fiction, music, video etc.” During the following decade, Wikipedia was joined by several sister projects to realize parts of the vision of a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. The Foundation continues to work on creating a richer Wikimedia experience beyond text, making use of the web’s expanding possibilities. It has also taken on the challenge of sustaining and increasing editor participation, with projects such as the VisualEditor, the most complex software development project undertaken by the Foundation so far, which is already being live-tested on numerous language versions of Wikipedia, and slated for a full rollout next month. As part of its commitment to increase access to free knowledge, the Wikimedia Foundation has launched Wikipedia Zero, a program to convince telecommunications operators to waive data charges to Wikipedia for the billions of people around the world whose primary opportunity to access the internet is via a mobile device. Keeping up with the mobile revolution on the internet, the Foundation has upgraded Wikipedia’s interface for mobile users, including introducing a “Nearby” feature and starting to enable contributions from mobile devices. Wikimedia Foundation staff (September 2012) Erik Möller, a volunteer Wikipedian in Germany in 2003, and today the Deputy Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, highlighted the importance of this programmatic work. “Today, the Wikimedia Foundation is well positioned to modernize the user experience and the infrastructure supporting our projects, while dedicating all its efforts to the public, working transparently, and releasing code as open source,” said Möller. “This wouldn’t be possible if Jimmy hadn’t laid the foundation 10 years ago to dedicate the operation of Wikipedia and our other projects to a non-profit organization, supported by a community of donors.” The Foundation

[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: First public peek at Daala, next-next-generation video codec from Xiph
I was just writing about file formats, thinking about the discussion on Commons of its scope (and the many free formats that we still do not support)... And what should pop up in my mailbox but a discussion about the next free video codec the Xiph Foundation is working on. This looks pretty amazing, and is worth a read: http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/daala/demo1.shtml Sam. -- Samuel Klein @metasj w:user:sj +1 617 529 4266 ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

Yesterday we had the General Assembly oft EURALO, the regional at-large organisation where I represent Wikimedia CH and Wikimedia Österreich AS members of ICANN At-Large. I will serve another term von the EURALO board. We had a very interesting visit from ICANN's new president and CEO Fahdi Chehade. With its multi-stakeholder approach and also developed and grown based in external needs and in ever-changing environment it faces similar challenges like the Wikimedia movement. This was a surprising understanding for me, having experienced ICANN as a big, bureaucratic organisation. I am aiming toward an exchange, being aware that is still hard to be heard within ICANN but without our critical and demanding voices we give away our ability to influence policy making on the Internet. /Manue ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
