 Hi Mark,

 If you are willing to consider postponing the event just a bit, to
 January, you can also apply for the upcoming Conference Grants round. The
 deadline for submission will be in early September.

 I'm happy to help and answer any questions.

For subtitles translators:

Uploaded Andrew's transcription on amara.org.

http://www.amara.org/en/videos/xEzAkDqhCaqb/en/1329538/

Now it got easier to make subtitles in other languages (and exporting
.srt files for uploading on to commons).

To whom uploaded it on to YouTube:

I'm pleased if you enable "full-screen" when embedded (it seems not,
currently).
It is very important when I subtitle it on amara.org (and apparently
any other subtitling platform).

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Victor for sharing it. Awesome work.

I shared it on Facebook and got some re-sharing among friends,
including one of them saying "some friends says I will not donate
because the ads (on Wikipedia) looks scam, and I couldn't persuade them.
This video helps me (to explain them how the donation works)."

Thanks Andrew too for sharing an English .srt file.
This is HUGE help for me, to translate it to Japanese subtitles.

Will get prepared asap.

 Hi everyone,

 I'm happy to share the first-ever Wikimedia year-in-review video,
 Wikipedia: #Edit2014.

 Wikimedia Commons:

 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Edit_2014.webm

 Youtube:
 http://youtu.be/ci0Pihl2zXY

 Vimeo:
 https://vimeo.com/114673230

 It's the story of 2014 through the lens of Wikimedia in under 3 minutes.
 (We know we didn't get it all!)

 We're about to launch this to the rest of the world, on the WMF blog, on
 social media, and to the press. The whole point of the production is we
 want the world to get a sense of what it feels like to press edit for the
 first time, and what it's like to contribute to something that millions of
 people use, love, and rely on. We hope you like it.

 Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this. It's based entirely on
 what YOU contributed to the projects -- images you uploaded and video you
 migrated to Commons. It's based on the texts of books and documents on
 Wikisource and the Wikipedia articles that you wrote. And thanks to
 everyone who volunteered and shared feedback with us while we were editing
 to make it sound and feel like Wikipedia. I talked to many people in
 putting this together, so thank you all.

 If you want to contribute to this particular effort, you can of course
 share this video, but what would be even better is if you could translate
 the captions into more languages so that even more people can understand
 it. We'll migrate the captions from Commons to YouTube and Vimeo as they
 come in. (BTW does anyone know why YouTube or Vimeo doesn't have open
 captions? Maybe once we have this captioned in 50 languages, we can use it
 to advocate that they should.)

 We're already thinking of ways to open up this process for even more
 collaboration next year. We put this together in about eight weeks, so we
 had a pretty big time constraint for making it an open process from the
 beginning.

 We're publishing two blog posts on the topic shortly and will send them as
 soon as they're out.

 Thanks! :)

[Wikimedia-l] Board candidates page: please set as a subject of translation

2013-05-14 Thread Takashi OTA 
Hi all,

Could anybody (maybe admin on meta) set recent changes of the
board candidates page as a subject to translation, so that we can
translate candidacies of Francis and Jeromy-Yu with the translation tool?

 Hi guys,

 Before I saw the reply, I went ahead and tagged the page for translation, 
 including Francis's statement.
 I have learnt and realised that it wasn't the best idea to translate that 
 part just yet. Thanks Thehelpfulone, I've reverted that section. Sorry.

 The other parts of the two new statements are ready for translation.

 Regards,

 Benjamin Chen / [[User:Bencmq]]

 Hi Takashi,

 Thanks for the reminder. I saw that Francis had his statement trimmed
 by Philippe in his capacity as a Board Election Committee member
 because it was over the character limit so decided not to mark it for
 translation until he had the opportunity to rewrite it, so as to not
 waste the valuable time of translators. I also waited to mark Jeromy's
 candidacy for translation as he was making a couple of changes the
 other day but just confirmed with him that he has finished making
 tweaks to his statement.

 If the election committee don't get round to it, I'll mark Jeromy's
 statement for translation later today but will follow up with Francis
 before making his statement for translation - I don't think it's fair
 for translators to translate a statement that could be considerably
 tweaked (and would need re-translating).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Elections 2013

2013-05-11 Thread Takashi OTA 
I have been working on a translation of FDC Ombud election in to Japanese.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/FDC_Ombudsperson_elections/2013

In the section of How to submit your candidacy, it reads:
 If you are eligible, you can submit your candidacy by doing the following:

 Write a brief summary of no more than 1200 characters stating what you would 
 do
 if you were elected to the Funds Dissemination Committee,

Shouldn't it be if you were elected to the FDC Ombuds(person), not FDC itself?

 Hey,

 thanks for the announcement and all the work the election committee
 has done so far.

 I have written a kind of lengthy blog post about the elections and
 about how and why the communities can or should get involved. It's in
 German, but if anyone's interested in translating it, you are more
 than welcome to re-use and remix and build upon it (of course... ;)).
