Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Fundraiser] fundraising blocked in Russia
That's not the first, and even not the 10th attempt of our authorities to create own Wikipedia, own YouTube and so on. They will talk about it, they could even spend some budget but it's not likely to result in something that will be sustainable and popular. PS: I really believed that we will see some sufficient comment from WMF about particular reasons, local laws changed that caused such block of fundraising, etc. but my trust in WMF is leaving me from day to day. I am really disappointed that WMF puts some own interests as a priority and ignores questions from the local community of not the smallest project - Russian Wikipedia. Imagine that such user as me who is the oldest 'crat of ru.wiki, has long history of contribution to local and global Wikimedia activities, already doesn't believe that it was a justified and reasonable decision and not political action by WMF. And now imagine what new or inexperienced readers and editors in Russia should think when they hear about such an unfriendly action from company based in the USA, the country we have not perfect relations with at the moment I am tired of knocking to the closed door, so, let it be as it is, I don't care about it anymore: we have local activities, we have sensible editors (not only in ru.wiki but also in other projects as comments to this mailing list have shown), so, we should work for the overall idea despite some existing inefficiencies like WMF. 14 нояб. 2014 г. 23:31 пользователь Federico Leva (Nemo) nemow...@gmail.com написал: Dorożyński Janusz, 14/11/2014 14:59: Really, we want help and we can help, especially locals, i.e. Russian folks.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference[1] 2015
Dear colleagues, Thank you to all who volunteered to serve on programme team[1]. Continuing my informal facilitation of this team, I will be contacting the team off-list to schedule a kick-off call to discuss how to go about planning this event, so as to maximize the benefit to the movement. My own preference is for materials to be continually updated and available on Meta, so as to allow casual participation or ad-hoc comments by anyone interested (whether or not they are part of a recognized movement organization). Watch the event pages on Meta to keep up. I will also update this list on major milestones as they take place (perhaps: selection of major themes, draft programme, final schedule). I'm sure I speak for the team when I say we welcome your input on any and all aspects of the programme team's work. I look forward to a productive event. Cheers, A.
