Hello colleagues,
== Announcements for this month ==
The next Wikimedia Café meetup will occur on 30 May 2020 at 9:30 AM
Pacific / 11:30 AM Eastern / 4:30 PM UTC / 10 PM IST.
This month's meetup will focus on the recently announced 2030 strategy
recommendations. See
I remembered to adjust US Pacific time for DST but forgot to do the
same for US Eastern time. The US Eastern time will be 12:30. Sorry
about that.
As you may have noticed, we are holding the UTC constant regardless of
DST changes.

Personally, I wish that Commons permitted images with licenses that
restricted the images to noncommercial use only. There are some media
files that I would have uploaded to Commons if this was the case.
I have seen at least previous discussion about this but I can't
remember what happened to it.
Anecdotally, it seems people sometimes don't upload their photos to Commons
because they don't realize that the scope of Commons is much broader than that
of Wikipedia.
Has there been, or should there be, any research into this, or why people don't
contribute more broadly?

the NC discussion from memory fell in that they impacted the ability to
include them in Wikipedia pages that are then rebroadcast by people like
Google and answers.com because it was a more restrictive license.

The scope of Commons is actually much less, than en.wikipedia uploading
to Commons is not a great introduction to the movement copyright and more
complex than just fixing a spelling error or adding a statement.
We do need to more to encourage uploading of media files, WLE, WLM do work
towards
