A friendly reminder to bidding or potentially bidding cities that the
deadline to add your city's name to the bid page for Wikimania 2010:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids

is March 7th, next weekend.

There is still time to add information to your bid after March 7th,
but no further bids will be accepted after that date. So if you're
considering bidding ... add your city today!

The bids to date are Oxford, Amsterdam & Gdansk.

cheers,
Phoebe (wm2010 jury mod)

A database of 3, 998, 093 freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute.

We are going to hit 4 million files some time this evening. Probably
worth a quick press release, or at least WMF blog post. Is there
anything to note that hasn't been in previous ones?

1000 interviews under cc-by, as ogg theora

Hi all

I just found out that a load of interviews with musicians have been released
under cc-by. You can browse them here: http://www.uncensoredinterview.com/topics/cc

From a first glance, it seems unlikely that you'll find anyone *really* famous
there, but there may be some interesting material non the less. Perhaps
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Sovereign> could use
<http://www.uncensoredinterview.com/vlogs/11123-lady-sovereign-commercialism-and-you>?
See for yourself.

Anyway, it's great to see some more content going free! And using OGG, no less.

Wikimedia Hungary picture competiton

Dear All,

Pray, allow me to announce the first ever international picture
competition of Wikimedia Hungary. [1]

The competition officially launching tomorrow, commemorating a
Hungarian national holiday[2], is aimed at gathering visual
representations - photographs, videos, maps, drawings, SVG graphics,
etc. - that have a 'Hungarian aspect'.

We are awaiting submissions in the next three months from all over the
world. Apart from the endless possibilities of works created in
Hungary - e.g. on a summer visit -, we hope to engage the
international community of photographers, and graphic artists of
Wikimedia Commons. Please take a look at our prepared list of possible
works to be created all over the world (including geographical places,
museums, events and suggestions for non-photographic contributions).
[3]

The submissions will be evaluated by the community in a way similar to
the Picture of the Year competition, the   authors of the best
pictures will be awarded a Wikimedia gift package.

For more information, please visit the competition's homepage on
Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimedia_Hungary_picture_competition

Thank you,
Bence Damokos

Re: Commons-l Digest, Vol 46, Issue 5

So, we do not need BetacommandBot now, do we? And what to do with so called "trusted users" ([[Commons:MediaMoveBot/CheckPage]])?

Oh, excellent. Is there somewhere central we can submit images that
need retitling? There's a few which I've been meaning to do something
about for a long time...
