Make that three hours, and re-read this email in one hour to make it two :) On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 10:30 AM, Keegan Peterzell kpeterz...@wikimedia.org wrote: This will be in two hours from now in #wikimedia-office On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 10:01 PM, Keegan Peterzell kpeterz...@wikimedia.org wrote: Greetings all, My apologies for cross-posting lists.

[Wikimedia-l] Community Liaison job openings at WMF
Hello, and apologies for the cross-posting. There are currently two job openings [0], and I thought someone here might be interested. Specifically: *Community Liaison [1] - this position will initially focus on working with the Flow team and also with the Editing (VisualEditor) team [2], mostly at non-English wikis; however, a lot of smaller or short-term tasks continually come up, so the WMF is particularly looking for someone who is adaptable, and with diverse interests. *Community Liaison (Part time contract) [3] - this part-time position will primarily focus on working with the Mobile teams [4], as the link explains. If you need further information, feel free to send an email to c...@lists.wikimedia.org (but do not use the address to apply!). Please pass this message along, if you know someone who might be interested or a good fit for the Community Engagement team [5]. Thanks! Best, Elitre (WMF) [0] https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Work_with_us#Wikimedia_Careers [1] https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/34698?t=i2jvpo#.VGaj8MluQfI [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow , https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor [3] https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/35259?t=kyra75#.VGakF8luQfI [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile [5] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_Engagement_(Product) ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines 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] File metadata cleanup drive: An update and a request
Greetings, As you may have seen in Tech News, on the Wikimedia blog or at the latest Metrics meeting, I'm currently leading a File metadata cleanup drive, whose goal is to to fix file pages and tweak templates across Wikimedia wikis, to ensure that multimedia files consistently contain machine-readable metadata [1,2]. This initiative is a critical step in improving reuse and following best practices for attribution in PDF prints, offline content like Kiwix and third party tools like WikiWand, among others. Some of you have already started adding the markers to information and licensing templates (Thank you!) and I'm going around wikis to do the same. We're making progress [3], but there's still a lot of work to do because we have so many wikis. I'd like to ask for your help in adding markers to the templates on your wiki, since you probably speak many languages that I have trouble deciphering. You're also more familiar with your wiki's templates, and a distributed effort will be more efficient than just a handful of us going around wikis :) There's a detailed guide in many languages if you're not sure how to proceed: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/File_metadata_cleanup_drive/How_to_fix_metadata I also recommend that you reach out to other editors on your wiki, template authors, gadget maintainers, etc. since they may be able to help, but may not know about this effort. I'm also happy to help if you have questions. You can ask me off-list, on the tech ambassadors list, on IRC (I'm guillom in #wikimedia on freenode) or on my talk page on Meta. (Carrier pigeons are discouraged.) If you're helping, please consider adding yourself to the list of participants, so others can see which wikis are actively fixing files and templates: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_metadata_cleanup_drive/Participants And if you're having difficulties, please do let others know on the talk page so we can try and find a solution, both for your benefit and for the benefit of others who might have the same problem: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:File_metadata_cleanup_drive . I hope that you'll be able to help fix files and templates on your wiki and give a hand in this distributed effort.

[Wikimedia-l] 50 million Flickr images
Just thought this might be of interest to people on list: http://blog.flickr.net/en/2014/11/20/50-million-creative-commons-images-flickr-wall-art/ Kinda makes Commons pale in comparison.
