Re: [Wikimediach-l] Postal Adress created
Ah yes, and what I wanted to say: Please do not put the adress on the contact-pages until I have received confirmation of the post (together with the first 20-francs-per-year-bill) that the adress is up and running. Then, we can also use the adress for Switch Registry (Manuel?)¨ Michael On 3/31/06, Michael Bimmler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I'd like to notify you that I have created the Feste Vereinsadresse today 1 hour ago (Friday, 11.00) at a small post office in Zurich. There is one little problem: He told me that we cannot have 8000 Zürich, as 8000 is not an official post code, but only used as placeholder for all other Zurich post codes (e.g. if you don't know the post code of the area/quartier of you friend, you can write 8000). He could also not give me 8001 (for reasons I didn't really understand, the post office was in the 8001-area), so we agreed on 8008 as third-best solution (at least symmetric). He had to send the form now to the centrale in Berne, it will take about 1 week to be processed. The whole business was by the way quite funny: I went into the post office (Rämistrasse, quite small, but next to my school), and first talked to an elderly employee who had no idea, that this service existed. So she called her boss, a quite young, dynamic guy, very friendly, but didn't want to believe in the existence of Freie Vereinsadresse either. So we used his computer to go to the post-homepage and find the leaflet about the Vereinsadresse and he admitted that he had never heard of this before (and that it must be an extremely new feature). Then he went into his office and started looking for the form that was needed. He then came back with a 2-pages, small-print form and we spent nice 20 minutes filling out this form. (We both laughed about it's bureaucracy and both wondered, why a couple of the fields were there. Then he remarked that he needed a copy of the resolution (I printed it already out at home) and, as the Post-customer service had not told me, a copy of the bylaws. So we again went into internet and he printed out the bylaws full-length. Then the only remaining were about 3 signatures + my ID card, + his signature + the postal stamp and we were finally finished. So he clipped everything together and now it must be on its way to Berne... (However when I look at the lot of fine-print legal stuff on the sheet, I would not wonder, if we have forgotten one little information, but we both did our best... -- Regards Michael Bimmler -- Regards Michael Bimmler ___ Wikimediach-l mailing list Wikimediach-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l
[Wikimediach-l] CH Bylaws
Hi, I have added a comment on the talk page of the English version of the bylaws. http://ch.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bylaws/En We are aware of the fact that you are waiting for us to say something, and I have asked the Chapters committee to come up with a recommandation for the board at the end of this week, beginning of next week at the latest. Sorry for the inertia. Seems to be a wiki thing. Cheers, Delphine -- ~notafish ___ Wikimediach-l mailing list Wikimediach-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l

J'aurais été très intéressé à participer aux Linux Days pour parler de Wikipedia, mais je serai à l'étranger ce jour-là. François, si tu veux en parler dans la liste Wikimedia CH, c'est une bonne idée, mais vu que je ne sais pas si on trouvera beaucoup de volontaires locaux pour l'instant, n'hésite pas si tu veux faire cette présentation. La seule chose qui me chagrinait, ce n'était pas que ce soit François qui ai pris l'initiative, et bien sûr il devrait le faire s'il le souhaite. Mais je ne vois pas pourquoi cette initiative devrait être prise au nom de Wikimedia France. Même sans chapter encore installé en Suisse, il me semble logique que cette initiative soit soutenue par les suisses plutôt que par les français. Ben, au moment nous nous concentrons à l'organisation du Wikipedia Day à Zurich et je ne suis pas sûr si nous serions capables d'agir comme Wikimedia CH à un autre event. Mais nous pourrions certainement supporter/patroner etc. quelque chose, si quelqu'un prend l'initiative. (Si vous voulez vraiment discusser ça avec les gens de Wikimedia CH, ça serait peut-être mieux de le faire par WikimediaCH-l car je suis assez sûr qu'il n y a pas beaucoup de Suisses (allemands et romands) qui lisent ici.

Re: [Wikimediach-l] Copyright of the swiss administration
Thanks for your answer. I had actually sent the mail to the webmaster. I will drop a mail to J. Glauser. You are right about the laws and the protocols. I add there is something interesting about swiss law compared to french/belgian law concerning the buildings as it seems (my non-professional interpretation) that making a picture of a recent building, statue, etc. is allowed while in France/Belgium, it is not (see the Atomium story). Well, some advices about swiss law in general regarding the copyright would be nice. There was a question today on the french wikipedia about the flags of cantons, communes and districts. On :fr, we have tons of references about the french law, nearly nothing about swiss law, I'm trying to collect some references :) Regards, Dake http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Dake ___ Wikimediach-l mailing list Wikimediach-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l

Where was it ? From the copyright point of view, most of the flags are in the public domain (except _maybe_ for a few flags made for new municipalities after mergers). Otherwise, the laws under number 232.2 protect their use (basically: don't use them in bad faith). Frederic PS.
