[Wikimediaau-l] 100 Years of Anzacs

[Robert Myers]

With 25th of April 2015 being the 100th year of the Anzacs, I attend most 
events in Wagga. The amount of photographs are not large but are something at 
least.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2015_Anzac_Day,_Wagga_Wagga
 
I was unable to attend the dawn service due to the weather (raining heavily) 
and having loaned equipment, I didn't want it to be damaged. Another issue I 
had was having the incorrect time for the march, which was wrong by half an 
hour (limiting the spot I could stand). Some more photos of the sunset service 
maybe uploaded, when time permits.

I do hope we see some photos freely licensed from Anzac Day events, it would be 
rather sad if we don't.

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Wiki meetup in Sydney this Sunday, for WNWBL matches, and probably WikiWednesday next week

[Robert Myers]

Wished that I was able to attend but had some last minute things to attend 
(found out on Friday afternoon) to on Saturday and Sunday was ruled at as I had 
a lecture first thing Monday morning.

Though I'm free on Wednesday, the 5:30-8pm meet-up rules me out, since I 
would have to be back at Central by 7pm (the latest).

 So farewell WM-Au and good luck. I'll still be around the Wikiverse, of

[Wikimediaau-l] Events leading up to the centenary of World War I

[Robert Myers]

Hi all,

With the centenary of World War I getting closer, events leading up to it are 
starting occur. Last Saturday was the launch of the re-enactment of the 
Kangaroo March, though the march will not occur until 2015, which will follow 
the similar route as the original Kangaroos but there will be other 
re-enactment marches as well. Though there could be some changes to the 
marches, since General Peter Cosgrove AC MC (Ret'd) had suggested, in his 
speech, that all the marches change the dates they depart and arrive at Martin 
Place. I hope to get some video checked (for quality) and uploaded on to 
Commons.

I think that if volunteers are close enough to the event and have the free time 
to document the lead-up events, will be valuable for the future and also when 
adding content about the events held for the centenary of World War I.

60 photographs of the event have been uploaded.

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Funding Query

I've added my two grants, but the equipment cost (amount that I paid out of my

 Hi Kerry,
 
 My preferred model would be that each project/editathon/grant leader
 should report their results in this tabular format, (perhaps as a
 partial replacement for the written reports we've previously
 submitted).  We are usually pretty proud of our how our events go, so
 I expect individuals would often be happy to formally report that back
 to WMAU if there's a procedure in place.
 
 To kick the process off, I've copied the WMF spreadsheet Whiteghost
 linked to, and have started adapting it for her suggestions and for
 the Australian context (e.g. Aussie dollars and Photographic Equipment
 Grants).  I've also added complete current data from my 2011 small
 grant, and links to the reports from some others I know about.
 Everybody should feel free to start adding data on programs they know
 about, and changing field titles to suit the programs we run.  I'll
 start adding some of the SLNSW and QSA stuff I know about.
 
 Here it is in all it's glory - it is open for anyone with the link to edit:

 You make an excellent point and I doubt anyone will disagree that it would
 be a Good Thing to do this. Would those volunteering to do it please put
 their hands up now?
 
 [Pauses, cups hand around ear listening ...]
 
 Therein lies the problem that most volunteer organisations face. Volunteers
 do the tasks they enjoy (or at least derive satisfaction from), because they
 do it for free in their leisure time. Now sometimes a volunteer organisation
 is fortunate that there are different strokes for different folks and
 someone else will be quite happy to pick up the tasks another person didn't
 want to do.
 
 But sometimes there is nobody to pick it up some tasks (I recollect another
 incorporated association that endlessly tried to establish a roster for
 cleaning the toilet -- which was doomed to failure because nobody wanted to
 do it, even though everyone was in favour of a clean toilet) and I fear that
 metrics may be in that category in WMAU. If so, this is when we need to look
 at outsourcing that task. As you will all know (but maybe don't remember) we
 do now have a contracting policy
 
 http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Proposal:Contracting
 
 and, any moment now (drum roll), John V will be outlining the arrangements
 for the contracting subcommittee so we can get outsourcing happening.
 
 If there are tasks we need to outsource, we need to do this now while we
 still have funds to pay for the work that needs doing. If we delay until we
 have no funds, then we are in a serious catch-22 situation. I note that a
 number of the chapters who receive FDC funding appear to use at least part
 of those funds to employ project management staff, suggesting that this is
 the kind of thing that is hard to resource with volunteers in most chapters.

 I also agree that the chapter and its volunteers *have* done a lot of

 any projects going forward will be a need to say here's how we're going
 to
 measure success before we actually dive in on any project, so that we can
 either use that measurement as justification for further funding, or use
 that measurement to figure out what went wrong and make sure we don't make
 the same mistake twice.
 
 and then:
 
 Absolutely, a lot of volunteers have pitched in at some time or another
 and done some great work that have (in my opinion) led to positive outcomes
 for the movement.  Enough that I'm not going to even try to enumerate them
 all for fear that I'll leave someone out :-).
 
 
 Hi Craig,
 Although forward planning of outcome metrics is obviously a good thing
 for the future, I think we should make an effort now to compile
 outcomes and metrics for projects, programs and grants that have
 already taken place.  Is there an onwiki page for this, or a table to
 fill out for each project or grant we have undertaken?  I know there
 are some reports linked from here
 http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Reports#Small_grants but surely there
 are more hanging around?  Even though you can't enumerate them

[Wikimediaau-l] Identification of Australian athletes

Hi all,

I'm needing some people whom are a little more knowledgeable with our 
Olympic athletes. I have photographs taken at the Welcome Home parade in 
Sydney which was back in August, but have some photos that I can't 
identify them.


26 photos have been uploaded but still have more but don't have the time.

[Wikimediaau-l] Tim Storrier

[Robert Myers]

In case no one has heard of him or have forgotten, Storrier was the 2012 Archibald Prize winner. He was the guest speaker for the launch of the new gallery (Gallery 43) at the Wagga Wagga campus of the TAFE NSW Riverina Institute. I believe this is the first time you have gotten a photograph of a 2012 Archibald Prize winner (while going though the list, I did spot a copyvio).http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tim_Storrier_at_the_launch_of_Gallery_43_at_the_Wagga_campus_of_the_TAFE_NSW_Riverina_Institute.jpgThe article needs a lot of work to be done such as copy editing and citing of sources.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Storrier

[Wikimediaau-l] Camera grant update

[Robert Myers]

Hi all,Thought I would keep the committee and members updated on my large camera grant. Last year I purchased a Canon EOS 60D with the twin lens kit, since then I have uploaded 1,444 photos have been uploaded but still more yet to be uploaded. Over the Easter break I headed to Leeton, were I took over 60GB (3,000) of photographs but only 577 made the cut. Last week I got just over 700 photographs in Junee, which I've yet to look at and upload (some of them). I also have a Canberra, Wagga Wagga (including the floods), Temora's airshow and the Hume Highway from the Barton Highway to the Sturt Highway, so a few more thousand photos I've yet to look at but not all of them will make the final cut.Video has been one thing I've wanted to upload but the file limit of 100 MB and the fact that the video is only played at one bit rate (unlike YouTube which has a few to select) and trying to make the video useable but also under 100MB isn't possible.Category which has all the photographs taken from the new camera.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Bidgee_sponsored_by_Wikimedia_Australia_%28large_grant%29___

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Images from APC

[Robert Myers]

I'm uploading them via Commonist which I've modified for this. Just need to 
check for what have already been uploaded, trying to ident some of the athletes 
as well as getting the file names correct, after that I'll do the mass upload 
of one batch. Storms in the area are not helping ATM.

 The Australian Paralympic Committee has provided ~650 images to
 Wikimedia Australia that need to be uploaded to Commons.
 
 They are broken into four sets and they are now hosted on our server.
 
 663,512 Mb - New Atlanta scans 1 of 3 - 207 photographs
 480,108 Mb - New Atlanta scans 2 of 3 - 156 photographs
 470,000 Mb - New Atlanta scans 3 of 3 - 142 photographs
 531,828 Mb - New Barcelona scans - 140 photographs
 
 If anyone is able to download zip files that big, and reupload the
 images to Commons, let me know and I'll give you the URL of one set to
 download.
 
 Bulk image uploads can be done on the server side using importImages.php:
 
 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php
 
 You just have to provide a .txt file for each image giving its image
 description, i.e. 650 .txt files. Also the files have to be named
 appropriately, preferably with a prefix to avoid conflicts with
 existing file names.
 
 If you have a zip file in that form, then you can file a shell request
 in bugzilla.wikimedia.org for it to be imported.
 
 Alternatively you can use Commonist or some other automated client.
