The campaign was chosen among many, judged by a committee of public relations executives, academics and public figures. Last July the Hebrew Wikipedia celebrated her 10th anniversary. The celebrations were followed by massive press coverage - TV radio, internet and print. You can give a look on some of them in our Press Book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9iobJg3Vpp0bDdKaDExNmU2VEU/edit?usp=sharing The strategy was to show the volunteers – the people behind the projects, so each cover presented another volunteer. To show the power of Wikipedia we collected a lot of numbers such the most viewed articles of the last 5 years, numbers of edits, words and many others – which leads to many items covering the history of HEWP. But besides arranging massive coverage for the celebrations we were looking for a special way to celebrate – to do something that has never been done before. The result was a unique collaboration with TV Channel 2, the most viewed channel in Israel! For an entire week, five of the most senior Channel 2 reporters, who learned to edit Wikipedia by our volunteers, wrote or extended an article on Hebrew Wikipedia. Then, each recorded a one minute video, explaining why they have decided to write on this specific topic. Every day, just before the evening news broadcast, the video was broadcasted and while the anchor presented the project, he explained we wanted to celebrate Wikipedia’s 10th anniversary and show that everyone can write an article on Wikipedia. Happy Birthday Wikipedia!” Due the success of the project Channel 2 decided to broadcast it all over again on the week after. According to the ratings records 2.033 million people (cumulatively) watched the project. On the celebrations month pages views on Hebrew Wikipedia showed increase of 12% (compare to 1% internationally) and increase of 12% in new articles (compare to 14% internationally decrease). You can watch them the videos (translated to English) on our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuQcXKjU3rwJ-TOL8lyru7oHvoufnWtED I wish to thank all the volunteers who take part making this happen, to the Wikimedia Israel team, and to Gidoen Amichay who supported and helped lead the Channel 2 cooperation. *Regards,Itzik Edri* Chairperson and Spokesperson, Wikimedia Israel +972-(0)-54-5878078 | http://www.wikimedia.org.il Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Developer resources are scarce and expensive and there's often a feeling that the latest Wikimedia Foundation initiatives trump all other worthwhile projects. I think we need to find a better way to more fairly allocate resources. As a concrete example, there continue to be dozens of Wikimedia Foundation developers and other staff specifically focused on the English Wikipedia and sometimes Wikimedia Commons, while the other sister projects such as Wiktionary, Wikibooks, and Wikisource continue to receive almost no direct attention. (Over the past few years, even the term sister projects has become mildly insulting. These projects are more accurately the red-headed stepchild projects.) This won't happen quickly, but we must make it a goal to do better in this area.

Wikimania regularly brings in people who, whether for cost reasons, side journeys, or out of enthusiasm for modes other than air travel, may not be flying directly in and out. If anyone chooses to travel overland, they would be well advised to take careful precautions as to safe routes and methods.

He will start as an international contractor working remotely from Toronto, Canada on June 10, and will be visiting SF in the week of June 17. We’re currently in the process of seeking work authorization in the United States in the Director of TechOps position. CT has graciously agreed to support the ops leadership transition full-time through June, and part-time through July. We’ll be starting the handover while Ken is working remotely. A bit more about Ken: Ken was apparently genetically predisposed to become a sysadmin since he joined one of Canada’s first large ISPs, Primus, straight out of school in 1997 and helped build their infrastructure til 2001. He then joined a startup called OpenCOLA in 2001 which was co-founded by Cory Doctorow and developed early P2P precursors to tools like BitTorrent and Steam. It’s best known today for the development of an open source (GPL’d) cola recipe which is still in use (more than 150,000 cans sold if Wikipedia is to be believed). Ken got involved in one of Cory’s pet projects, BoingBoing.net which some of you may have heard of ;-), and has been their sysadmin since 2003. After a stint from 2001-2005 at DataWire, Ken became Director of Tech Ops at Federated Media, a role he held from 2005-2012. Federated Media is an ad network that was founded to support high traffic blogs and sites that want to stay independent of large publishers, with a network that supports more than 1B requests/day. One of the unusual challenges at FM was that the company grew through acquisitions of various blogging and publishing networks. This led to the challenge of integrating very heterogeneous operations and engineering infrastructure, including multiple geographically distributed ops teams and data-center locations. As DTO, Ken led these efforts, such as OS standardization, development of a unified deployment infrastructure, etc. Ken also ensured that the operations group partnered effectively with the various engineering teams developing site features and enhancements. I want to again take this opportunity to thank CT Woo for his tireless operations leadership since December 2010. I’d also like to thank everyone who’s participated in the Director of TechOps search process. Please join me in welcoming Ken to the Wikimedia Foundation and the community. :-) All best, Erik -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation ___ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Wikimedia-l, the public mailing list of the Wikimedia community.

Congratulations to the London team, and to the Arusha team who also put forward a solid effort. We were concerned this year to see that both bidding teams put forward proposals which were costly and complicated, in contrast to the Wikimania tradition. The Jury briefly considered re-opening the bid for other teams, and asked both bids to present a simpler core budget and lower-cost options for attendees. The London team took our comments to heart and decreased their core budget to 20% of their initial proposal, and have committed to finding ways to reduce the cost for community attendees. We encourage future bidding teams to not give up their dreams, to keep aiming for the stars, but at the same time, to not forget the spirit of Wikimedia: a volunteer movement that makes creative use of limited resources. We look forward to the proposed Wikimania Committee setting out clearer guidelines on these principles. The process to bid for hosting Wikimania requires a substantial time investment, and we thank both candidate teams for their submissions and hard work.

Global Voices is a community of more than 1300 authors and translators in dozens of countries around the world that publishes reports from global citizen journalists, with an emphasis on voices that aren't ordinarily heard in major international media. “Global Voices does great work, and I’m really looking forward to sharing experiences and expertise with the people involved there.” said Sue Gardner, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation. “The Wikimedia Foundation and Global Voices hold a lot of the same values, and for me the most important is our shared commitment to freedom of expression. The world needs strong voices advocating for internet users’ right to express themselves and to access information without impediment.” Congrats, Sue! :-) Global Voices is lucky to have you. Given the mention of global citizen journalists in the blog post, I was a little surprised to not see a mention of Wikinews. Some collaboration between the Wikinewsies and the Global Voices folks might be good to explore. (I'll admit that I'm still somewhat trying to wrap my head around what Global Voices exactly is, but a collaboration between the two seemed like it might have promise. If I'm off-base, ignore me.)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Announcing 2 Community Fellows
wow..congrtz Tanvir.. On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 9:32 PM, Siko Bouterse sboute...@wikimedia.orgwrote: It is my great pleasure to introduce two new Community Fellows in the Wikimedia Fellows Program: Tanvir Rahman and Steven Zhang. Tanvir Rahman is a Wikimedian who serves the movement locally and globally, both on- and off-wiki. Tanvir has been an active editor of Bengali Wikipedia since 2009, he holds administrator rights on multiple projects and he was elected a steward in 2011. He also volunteers on the Small Wiki Monitoring Team, the Countervandalism Network, as an OTRS agent, and is a translator for translatewiki. Tanvir helped found Wikimedia Bangladesh and organizes local outreach activities to raise awareness for Wikimedia and bring new editors to the projects. In his fellowship project, Tanvir will be experimenting with on-wiki strategies to encourage and grow the editing community on small language versions of Wikipedia, with specific focus on the Bengali Wikipedia. Smaller projects have different needs and challenges than the large language communities and may require different approaches to engage with editors. By focusing on a community like Bengali Wikipedia, which has about 50 active editors per month and sees 10 new editors per month, Tanvir hopes to learn more about the basic editing infrastructure needed to encourage new editors in new or small-scale projects. Steven Zhang is a Wikipedian with a passion for resolving on-wiki disputes and helping others do the same. He has been contributing to the English Wikipedia since 2008 and has been particularly active in dispute resolution forums, including the Wikipedia Mediation Cabal. Steven is studying a Certificate IV in Mediation at Open Colleges, and over the past year he has made it his mission as a volunteer to recruit more editors to join dispute resolution efforts. In 2011, he helped create the dispute resolution notice board, an entry point for mediating disputes on the English Wikipedia. Steven has noted that there aren’t enough active participants to resolve all of the disputes that arise on Wikipedia each day, and he believes that dispute resolution processes could be streamlined to make them more accessible and efficient to all editors who need them. For his fellowship project, Steven will be analyzing community feedback and dispute resolution activity in order to build a deeper understanding of what is effective and what needs improvement in the current systems. He will also be developing a guide for new editors who want to get involved in resolving on-wiki disputes. Steven and Tanvir will be documenting their work on-wiki and on the Foundation blog.
