Re: [Wikimedia-l] Staff Images
Uniform portraits? Maybe that's an idea - I am just imagining Brandon in firefighter uniform, James Forrester in the uniform of a Beefeater guarding the Tower of London, and the whole of Legal in Special Forces cammo led by Geoff carrying a pearl-handled Colt and chomping on a cigar. Make it so! This is all a style/composition question - Do we want to aim for uniform portraits on the staff page or not?

Hello Everyone, As for the insights on staff photos, thank you for your feedback. Yes, we are in the process of creating some more consistency in our staff photos for the Wikimedia Foundation staff page, while allowing the people who work here to be seen in a way that feels comfortable to them as well. It is a nice balance that we are still refining. We will be getting a bunch of photos taken during our next all staff meeting in September, so stay tuned. :) We are working on ways at managing consistency in house at the moment and appreciate your feedback and patience.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Staff Images
(Rumor has it that HR is soon going to introduce a new caring and loving penguin into the habitat. Perhaps the HR penguin can mediate should matters escalate quickly.) Erik - to be frank I think this would be a serious mistake. A penguin would have no understanding of the Wikimedia culture. I mean they spend all their time huddling on ice-floes! What's that got to do with creating an encyclopedia? I notice that hardly ANYONE edits Wikipedia from the South Pole, despite it being the only place that everyone can agree is in the Global South. Indeed, what's the whole contribution of Antarctica been to the Wikimedia movement? Sweet fanny adams, that's what. But it doesn't even warrant a mention in the Foundation strategic plan! There is literally a whole continent that we don't care about. I suppose because you don't get many icebergs in San Francisco somehow you think Antarctica does't matter. Frankly we don't need a penguin in the HR department. We need a penguin on the Foundation Board. No, we need a penguin as Executive Director. While Sue has made some really important contributions, I have never seen her hunt fish or waddle around with an egg on her feet. That has to change and it has to change now. It's the only way we will take the South Pole seriously. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

[Wikimedia-l] SUL (Single User Login) to be enabled on all wikis on Wednesday July 17th
On Wednesday July 17th we will be enabling a new centralized login service to make the login experience for users more streamlined. What do this mean for you? When you log in to any Wikimedia project wiki, you will be actually logged into a central domain (login.wikimedia.org), which will in turn log you into all of the other wikis as needed. Additionally, there will now no longer be the Login Success page, but instead you will be automatically redirected to the page you came from. You can see the full rollout plan for this here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Auth_systems/SUL2#Rollout_Plan Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] The GAC wants you!
Hi, Rupert. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm not quite sure I follow your thinking though. With that in mind, I'll offer some statements from my perspective: 1. I don't think we expect anyone to be perfect. _We_ certainly aren't perfect... 2. I don't think we incentivize complete spending of grant budgets. Underspending is not only acceptable, but often congratulated -- look at our responses on reports with underspending, and you'll find we often congratulate grantees on frugality and economizing. 3. Spending does not have to be precise; we allow a 20% variance in smaller grants, or a 10% variance in larger grants. That should be enough for a reasonably-planned grant. 4. The best-laid plans of mice and men[1] often go wrong, we recognize. That is why grantees can submit a request to change the budget _during_ the grant's execution. Take a look at a funded grant, e.g. [2], and you'll see a handy button called Request changes to budget. We generally approve these requests, because they're generally reasonable. 5. The best advice I can give grantees, present and future, is: talk to us! Share your doubts, fears, and uncertainties with us -- we're here to help, and, like you, we want to promote the Wikimedia Mission. We don't like paperwork any more than you do! :) In my observation, the most unhappy grantees were those who did not seek advice or help, or did not communicate about difficulties or unexpected events in real time. Finally, I appreciate your honesty in saying you don't feel you'd be willing to put in the amount of work the GAC requires. That's certainly better than signing up and not doing anything! :) Cheers, Asaf [1] Robert Burns, To a Mouse [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_AM/WikiConference_Yerevan_2013#Benefits On Sat, Jul 13, 2013 at 4:10 AM, rupert THURNER rupert.thur...@gmail.comwrote: hi, many thanks for that great invitation! i'd really consider this, if the GAC process would be less work and would target imperfect people. the grants incentive should imo be changed to get more for the bucks. what do i mean with this: 1. if the GAC decides to grant money to somebody, it should be clear that this money can be spent. 2. if somebody underspends, he has the right to spend it somewhere else, without asking for approval. why do i consider this so important? the current incentive is to spend the money exactly as planned. which causes waste in two areas (1) people try to spend everything and trick it to spend so it looks great. and (2) heavy workload on checking if these tricks all make sense. if you do not hit the target or fail somehow, there is heavy punishment. and this gives another disadvantage, it (3) makes to most important asset vanish, the core wikipedia people, and it is editor dis-engangement. if people have the right to do what they want with remaining funds, there is an incentive to save, and an incentive to get more out of the bucks. it might be to additional squish an activity in. it makes room for imperfection, cover losses from other disorganized people. this makes the numbers reported back more honest. additionally, it's a good faith approach, and it attracts typical content providing persons. i used imperfect people, core wikipedia people and typical content providing person in the last paragraphs, which probably needs a little explanation. wikipedia is built traditionally by imperfect volunteers, error-prone, partially educated, school or university drop outs, poor in project management, time management, financial management, constantly failing, redoing, miscalculating. the current process specifically targets these people with great accuracy and punishes them. it attracts a different type of person, and with it risks wikipedias lifeblood: the contents. the contents attracts donors, and it's the heart of the money flow. like you i would love to see that angela merkel, barack obama or bill gates edit wikipedia - but up to now they did not show any sign of having enough time for it :) rupert.
