Bildfilter

Netterweise ging dieser Post über die Mailingliste etwa drei Stunden nachdem ich meinen Vulva-Bildfilter-Fork-Talk auf Wikimania hatte. Ist natürlich reiner Zufall, freute mich aber trotzdem. Der Bildfilter ist jetzt auf offiziell tot. Und das trotz des Widerstands von Jimbo "Meinungsfreiheit" Wales.

Dear all,

 

I am happy to announce that the Board of Trustees has now *unanimously* approved this resolution [1] rescinding our previous direction to the Executive Director to develop a personal image hiding feature.

At our in-person board meeting of 11 July 2012, the vote on this was provisionally recorded at 9-1, with Jimmy voting against. Jimmy has since changed his vote to a yes, on reviewing an FAQ accompanying this resolution which notes that the board is willing to approve a plan broadly backed by the community.

Thus the vote on this has now been changed to 10-0.

The FAQ accompanying the board resolution on this has been published at: Talk:Resolution:Personal_image_hiding_feature

The resolution remains at: [1] http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:_Personal_Image_Hiding_Feature

White Bag Vulva reloaded

Dear Dirk Franke,

Thank you very much for submitting a presentation proposal for Wikimania 2012, to be held July 12-15 in Washington, DC. We received more than 400 proposals this year, and our team carefully evaluated each submission for completeness, relevance to the conference themes, requested time, and anticipated interest by participants. The Program Committee has been particularly impressed by the extraordinarily well developed submissions this year, and we received more presentation submissions than any prior Wikimania.

We are pleased to inform you that your presentation, White Bag Vulva. How the German community thought about forking. (Submission #47), has been accepted for the program contingent on you confirming your attendance at Wikimania.

[..]

We will be following up with you in early May to tell you which day and time your session is. Thank you for your submission and for your participation in the Wikimania 2012 program selection process!
Netterweise haben sie die beiden anderen angebotenen Talks nicht auch noch angenommen :-)

Paid editing at Wikimania?

Dear Wikimania program commitee,

in case somebody reads this blog: please give this panel discussion a place in the program. It's about a core conflict Wikipedia will endure in the coming years.

White Bag Movement, and how the German community planned to fork - ideas for Wikimania talks 2012

Comments? Ideas? Wishes? Here are some ideas for possible talks by me at the Wikimania 2012.

Please feel free to comment. Auch gerne auf deutsch :-)


The Wikipedia church of the Holy Sepulchre - Decision making in Wikipedia.

White Bag Movement, and how the German community planned to fork. (including some comments about the place of Vulvas in German culture)

Oh! Please read me! - How to be nice to Wikipedians in case you don't have money.

Don't ask what you can do for your chapter. Ask what your chapter can do for you. - How to be nice to Wikipedians in case you have money; a surprisingly difficult task.

Disappearing authors and non-existing readers. Wikipedia as communication without communicating subjects.

Update: The talk one that made it to the conference was White Bag Movement, and how the German community planned to fork. (including some comments about the place of Vulvas in German culture)
