Re: [Wikimedia-l] YouTube shooting and risk assessment

I can not speak to current practice at the WMF, but I can speak to practice when I was there (ancient history, long ago, I know) when I say that this is something that was carefully considered and there were appropriate experts consulted at the time. Knowing the team there like i do, I'm

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing the Wikimedia Technical Conference

Hi Victoria, Thank you very much for the explanations. I am glad to hear that the net effect of these changes will be that travel costs remain flat. Does that include lodging and per diem costs? I would suggest collaborating with the WikiConference North America organizers to try to arrange for

Re: [Wikimedia-l] YouTube shooting and risk assessment

Safety of attendees has for a long time been a criteria ... agree, but the risk assesement we are discussing here is not about safety, but security. I am sure we might not use them all properly, I am also not a native English speaker, but they are not the same concept, right? Now, there were

Re: [Wikimedia-l] YouTube shooting and risk assessment

Safety of attendees has for a long time been a criteria that needs to be addressed when bidding for any WMF event, the people bidding are the better placed to assess the reality of the local situation. Open bidding processes enable others to also critically look at the options, ultimately we are

Re: [Wikimedia-l] YouTube shooting and risk assessment

I remember we discussed 2 or 3 years about this scenario with some wikimedians off wiki. I strongly support to discuss at least once openly about that. In a way that it's rational, avoiding to create unnecessary panic... of course. Despite the claimed neutrality of the communities, reality

I read/receive related craps on a daily basis but it's hard to tell an idiot from a psychopath, so it may become a risk for WMF offices. Vito 2018-04-05 17:33 GMT+02:00 Andy Mabbett : > I'm

[Wikimedia-l] YouTube shooting and risk assessment

I'm sure most of you will be aware of the unfortunate events at YouTube's HQ a couple fo days ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_headquarters_shooting Without giving away anything that might reveal vulnerabilities, does the WMF have contingency plans for such an incident? What about

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Amazon Echo' use of Wikipedia; CC license compliance?

I see this from Brian Heater at Tech Crunch on 25 March: "In a conversation earlier this week, Wikimedia’s Chief Revenue Office, Lisa Gruwell told TechCrunch that this sort of usage doesn’t constitute any sort of formal relationship. Most companies more or less hook into an API to utilize that

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Amazon Echo' use of Wikipedia; CC license compliance?

Yes of course the WMF can contact those who are detected reusing our content without fully complying with licenses and encourage them to comply. If a case were to go to court it would need to have one or more contributors who were willing to cooperate with WMF legal in the case. But I doubt there

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Amazon Echo' use of Wikipedia; CC license compliance?

We're not at that point yet. I would like to know whether an informal conversation between WMF and Amazon on this topic has begun, though. Anthony Cole On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 3:04 PM, Kunal Mehta wrote: > Hi, > > On 04/04/2018 08:36 PM, Anthony Cole wrote: > > I'm
