[Wikimedia-l] What are your favorite articles and images about love?

[Fabrice Florin]

Hi folks,

Can you help us pick great articles and images about love for Valentine’s Day?

We’ve received a lot of great community suggestions since this campaign started 
last week -- and are particularly grateful to Pine, Nemo, Fae, Geni and other 
community members for their generous contributions. :)

We now invite you to add your +1’s for suggestions you think are the most 
insightful:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Love_on_the_wikis

Simply sign your name next to your favorite suggestions, for sharing with a 
wide audience on Friday.

And we could still use a few more articles, quotes, sounds and videos, if you 
have any last-minute suggestions. 

We welcome your contributions until the end of today, at midnight PST. 
Tomorrow, we will prepare a blog post with our top picks, based on community 
and team feedback — and publish it on the Wikimedia Blog and on social media, 
on Friday --  just in time for Valentine’s day.

As a result of this experiment, we may find new ways to curate and share 
information on specific themes, combining the wikis, our blog and social media. 

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this community-created love collection! 

Regards as ever,


Fabrice

Dear Damon and all,

I think this is great, and I'm genuinely excited to see what gets
developed and built with our editing and engineering communities
working together. I look forward to both participating in the process
and using the fruits of this work as an editor!

best,
Phoebe

[Wikimedia-l] Engineering Community

[Damon Sicore]

Dear Wikimedians,

We are changing our engineering processes to improve how we engage with you -- 
our valued contributors and editors -- around software development.

We are beginning with the collaborative buildout and deployment of 
VisualEditor. We are moving community engagement processes and product 
decisions into earlier stages of development, and making them iterative. In a 
perfect world this process would start prior to feature development, but in 
this case VisualEditor is already in-flight, so your participation now is 
critical. With your participation, we can work together to ensure this new 
process works.

In this new process, we commit to:

• Collectively identify success criteria for each target audience, from new 
editors (simple feature set) to expert editors (complex feature set).
• Ensure success criteria represents the quantified and qualified goals. The 
feature will only be shipped when the success criteria is met.
• Enable the feature for only portions of specific audiences that would best 
benefit (a process known as “incremental roll-out”) at a time.
• Triage and prioritize all bugs and feature requests on a weekly basis to 
ensure they are addressed in a timely fashion. Publicly post responses, 
assessment, and target implementations. This will replace the RFP process and 
ensure we are tracking on all requested features efficiently.

How you can engage:

• Report bugs or enhancement requests in Phabricator:  
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/visualeditor/
• Join any of the weekly triage meetings to nominate a release blocker. Please 
see the instructions at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:VisualEditor/Portal
• Participate in development. You can find the team on IRC in the 
#mediawiki-visualeditor channel on irc.freenode.net.

We are excited to get this long-standing feature to the level of quality and 
success we all want and need. It is a collective effort. You are not only a 
stakeholder, but an active contributor in this work. We want to all to be proud 
of the outcome. Please participate now.

All my best,

Damon

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference - Come to Berlin in May 2015!

[Nicole Ebber]

tl;dr:
Wikimedia Conference 2015 in Berlin
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2015
Date: May 14-17, 2015
Registration: Will open soon


Dear Wikimedia friends,

Thanks to the generous support of the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia
Deutschland will be hosting the Wikimedia Conference from May 14-17,
2015 [1].

It is my pleasure to invite Wikimedia Affiliates to join us in Berlin
and I am delighted that the Funds Dissemination Committee and the
Affiliations Committee will also hold their meetings as part of this
conference. This will give us all the opportunity to discuss ideas,
exchange experience, build capacities, and shape the future of our
movement together. I am extending this invitation also to the board
and staff of the Wikimedia Foundation, and I hope that they again
choose to join us for a couple of productive days.

== Themes and program ==
The program team [2] has already kicked-off its planning process and
is now structuring the conference tracks: Capacity building, sharing
and collaboration, fundraising and finance, movement strategy. Team
members come from several entities and countries in the movement,
including the Wikimedia Foundation, and generously volunteered to
manage this process together. They will present the major goals and
schedule for the conference within the coming weeks.

== Participation and registration ==
Registration will open in the coming days. The eligibility criteria
for participating in the Wikimedia Conference 2015 have been aligned
to the Affiliates’ Agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation. Please
note that the criteria have changed compared to last year’s. Further
information on the eligibility criteria and registration will be
published on Meta [3].

Affiliates are asked to send delegates that are well-informed in
goings-on at the affiliate, able to confidently answer questions about
it and share experience from their group. They should also be
empowered to commit their group to involvement in proposed projects or
initiatives.

== Logistics ==
Our event team will shortly open the registration and send out further
information on logistical matters such as travel and accommodation
booking. Daniela Gentner will be the main contact for all questions
regarding the logistics, you can reach out to her via
wm...@wikimedia.de.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Deutschland board, I am looking forward to
welcoming you in Berlin in May.

Best regards,
Nicole Ebber
