Hi Pine, Every organization has their own administrative staff. WMID only has project-based paid staff and the rest are volunteers, while other organizations have full time paid-staff. While for programs, WMID and HOT-OSM just recently secured a grant from Make All Voices Count [1] to conduct local open content mapping and encyclopedia writing in Kalimantan, a generally remote and underdeveloped area in Indonesia.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Joint office Jakarta - Wikimedia Indonesia, HOT Open Street Map, and World Wide Web Foundation
Thanks Isabella. I might want to talk with you or someone else at Wikimedia Indonesia about the relationship of the chapter to OpenStreetMap more in the future. OpenStreetMap is active in what I am hoping will become Wikimedia Cascadia territory and we have already made first contact with one of the OSM organizers. It might also be nice to hear from WMF about how their plans for improving mapping functions in the next fiscal year could tie into work with OpenStreetMap. Maybe someone could organize an office hour about the roadmap for location tools. I'm also sending this email to Quim Gil to see if an office hour is feasible.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Vietnamese wp above 1 M articles and growing
That's a great news that the Vietnamese Wikipedia has crossed 1M articles. What are the significant reasons behind Vietnamese Wikipedia's such growth? Is it just the usage of such clever Bots (that you have mentioned) or contribution by the Vietnamese Wikipedians? And actually how does the Cheer!-bot generate articles? Does it translate articles from English (or other) Wikipedia? And apart from translating, can it set and maintain correctly other aspects of Wikisyntax and coding?

In total, 12 people came to the office to discuss (inter alia) the education programme, projectmonitoring and reporting. · *Wikidata - DBPedia cooperation* The working group on Wikidata and DBPedia cooperation met at the WMNL offices on May 15. *WORK: content, collaboration and activity development[edit]* · *Wiki Loves Earth events* The Wiki Loves Earth kick off took place in De Weerribben-Wieden National Park on May 3. After a presentation a group of participants went into the national park by boat with a ranger (from Staatsbosbeheer to take pictures of this park. On May 25, a further three Wiki Loves Earth events took place: in Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park a sound workshop was organized to record sounds of nature. In Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park and Drentsche Aa National Landscape photo workshops were organized. · *Editathon Women and Art, Amsterdam* On 17 May, a group of Wikipedians held a new edit-a-thon about women and art at De Appel art centre in Amsterdam. This event was a follow-up to the first Dutch Art+Feminism edit-a-thon on February 1 and was also financially supported by Wikimedia NL. Both events together have, so far, resulted in more than 50 new or improved articles about women in the arts. · *Education Programme* The two consultants engaged to carry out a feasibility study on developing a WMNL education programme presented their interim results during the Wiki-Saturday on May 24 . This was followed by a brainstorming session on aims and ambitions of the programme · *Maps and Wikipedia meeting, Amsterdam* Wikipedians in Residence Sandra Fauconnier and Hay Kranen have organized an expert meeting on old maps and Wikimedia projects on Saturday 24 May in Amsterdam. More than 20 participants, including curators / collection managers of map collections, and Dutch Wikipedians listened to the keynote presentation was by Susanna Ånäs (Wikimedia Finland) on the WikiMaps project. Further presentations, and a brainstorm session, included historical map collections from Koninklijke Bibliotheek, old maps on Wikimedia Commons, and a case study of storytelling via maps: visualizing the 1934 world trip of Felix Vening Meinesz, a project by TU Delft. · *Presentation Libraries Zeeland* Sebastiaan ter Burg gave a presentation about cooperation between external wiki initiatives and Wikimedia projects at the Zeeuwse Bibliotheek (libraries in Zeeland) and met with the library of Vlissingen for future cooperation. · *World War Two* Board member Justus de Bruijn and director Sandra Rientjes visited NIOD (the national institute for war, conflict and genocide studies) to explore cooperation concerning the the topic of World War Two.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Mobile Operator IP Drift Tracking and Remediation
Here's the patch update. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/141740 On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 3:30 PM, Adam Baso ab...@wikimedia.org wrote: One wrinkle we've encountered and sort of expected, is that the SIM card MCC-MNC doesn't always match the actual network MCC-MNC. So on Android, we'll add both to the payload so that we can differentiate them. On iOS it looks like the API only currently allows one of these values through an opaque method call. The previous EventLogging server side code wasn't logging the User-Agent (defined coarsely in our code on both platforms). I'm thinking to make it evident when we're dealing with an iOS version of the app, it would make most sense to re-enable the User-Agent so we can pick up this coarse-grained value.

I think it will work, so I've updated the patchset. From a patchset comment I provided: It's possible we may have situations where operators have not lots of users on them accessing Wiki(m|p)edia properties, so we do run some risk of actually missing IPs, even if exit IPs are concentrators of typically large sets of users. That said, let's try a 2% sample ratio; and if we find out it's insufficient, then we'll sample more, if it's oversampling, then we can adjust the other way, too. New patchset arriving shortly.
