[Wikimediaau-l] Australian Digital Futures Directions paper
Dear all Just in case people have missed it in the New Year rush - the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE) have released an industry consultation draft, which will inform the development of the Digital Economy Future Directions paper: http://www.dbcde.gov.au/communications_for_business/industry_development/digital_economy. Submissions should be sent to defuturedirecti...@dbcde.gov.aumailto:defuturedirecti...@dbcde.gov.au by Wednesday 11 February 2008. The paper touches on many issues of relevance to the free culture community - including open access to public sector information, security, education, new business models and even the environment. A good chance to go on the record.

Indeed, they're totally voluntary to start with, and private messages or group notices from them are unobtrusive. 2009/1/15 Gnangarra gnanga...@gmail.com One does kinda expect to get spammed from facebook groups occassionally 2009/1/15 Orderinchaos78 orderinchao...@gmail.com Yeah I don't see any harm in using the Facebook group. 2009/1/15 Charles Gregory wikimediaau.li...@chuq.net It also just occurred to me the Wikimedia Australia group on facebook is another avenue - the membership of the group currently sits at 48, which would be close the number of actual financial members WMAU has - but there wouldn't be 100% overlap - we may be able to catch a few more along the way. Anyway, it is another avenue to publicise our activities. It may even be a good idea to send a general summary update anyway, perhaps encouraging them to join as financial members?

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] News article - Many minds make Wiki work
Nice article, hits all the right buttons. Perhaps we could contact mandy - the author - to meet up with Wm-Au?

[Wikimediaau-l] contacting external people
Hi all, I've created http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Contacting_external_folk as a place to centralise some information, and chat about good processes for how non-committee members (and indeed anyone really) may be able to make contact with external agencies for various reasons - take a look if you get the chance, and help knock it into shape :-) My inspiration for this was a whisper that it might be possible to attend a Manly Sea Eagles training / press session to get some high quality images - I know that the Wallabies (union national team) are also fairly open to such things, so thought it might be a good idea to centralise the info. cheers, Peter, PM. ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
[Wikimediaau-l] A wiki bet + donation info
Hi all, one more quick one - I won a wiki bet recently, and now a fellow editor has to cough up 20 bucks to WMAU - I'm sure the committee has accepting web based donations as a priority, but I thought I'd flag that there's at least a $20 incentive to get that up and running as soon as poss :-) cheers, PM ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
Re: [Wikimediaau-l] contacting external people
I'll throw it back here rather than add to the page, WM-au neds an ID system and if we want to be more serious some form of accreditation system for photographers to attend these kind of thing. The reason is that we are then establishing that the person is a member of the association and that association has no issue with the person contact them as such. Accerditation will also ensure that the person is actually going to use and release the photographs under a free license via one of the projects rather than get access and then just sell the images. 2009/1/16 private musings thepmacco...@gmail.com Hi all, I've created http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Contacting_external_folk as a place to centralise some information, and chat about good processes for how non-committee members (and indeed anyone really) may be able to make contact with external agencies for various reasons - take a look if you get the chance, and help knock it into shape :-) My inspiration for this was a whisper that it might be possible to attend a Manly Sea Eagles training / press session to get some high quality images - I know that the Wallabies (union national team) are also fairly open to such things, so thought it might be a good idea to centralise the info. cheers, Peter, PM. ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l -- GN. http://gnangarra.redbubble.com/ ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
