Dear all
After the last board meeting, Wikimedia Macedonia decided to host events
for the coming WP 10th Anniversary.
1. Wikipedia Academy at the Faculty of Economics and / or Faculty of
Turism, outreach workshop
2. Special event, a party on the 15 Jan at Caffe in Old Bazar, Skopje.
To support the global celebrations around Wikipedia 10, the Wikimedia
Foundation has produced a series of shirts, buttons, stickers, and labels.
Is it possible to request "party packs" from WMF? And how much it will
cost my chapter (cost of pack, shipment cost e.t.c)? The time of shipment?
Cheers,
Dimce Grozdanoski

Hey folks,
In addition to our own parties and events, I think it makes sense for
us to invite public intellectuals to reflect publicly on the meaning
and impact of Wikipedia, for the 10th. I'm thinking about asking both
Timothy Garton Ash and Tim Wu to write about us, and I asked James
Forrester the other day to urge Tim Berners-Lee to do it too. (I
don't know why they are all Tims, LOL. That's an accident.)
If you know people who are really smart, who have a platform (or could
get access to a platform, by doing for example an editorial for the
New York Times, the Guardian, or whatever), and who would have
something useful to contribute to the public discourse about Wikipedia
.. I'd suggest you mention it to them. These kinds of pieces can take
a long time to prepare and sell, so if you think it's a possibility,
I'd recommend planting the seeds for it now.
Thanks,
Sue

Hi everyone,
This week we're forgoing Office Hours due the U.S. Thanksgiving
holiday, but a week from today on Wednesday December 1, I will be
hosting an IRC discussion of the planning for Wikipedia's 10th
anniversary. From 16:00-17:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office, we'll have an
open meeting to cover the organizing underway to celebrate the
encyclopedia's first decade. Please attend if you're even remotely
curious about attending or volunteering for one of the 39 events
currently listed on ten.wikipedia.org.
As usual, instructions for accessing the chat and links to other
resources, such a time converter, are available at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I know there are some events which plan on screening Truth in Numbers.
There's a related question on the Village Pump of tenwiki (I've
started calling it that since it's the interwiki link). If you could
dive in and answer if you've got an answer, that would be appreciated.

Hi friends,
I just wanted to give everyone an update on what's been accomplished
here at the Wikimedia Foundation so far and what we've got in store for
the near future. We've got roughly two months until the 15th is here.
With that deadline rapidly approaching, I want to really step up our
efforts here at the WMF to help local events happen.
Just to restate it: our goal is to help make the tenth anniversary a
memorable one for Wikimedia editors/readers/donors wherever you are. To
that effect, we've launched ten.wikipedia.org in the last couple days.
Many of you probably saw the pages on Outreach wiki that have since been
migrated. Thanks to the editors who stepped up to help wiki-garden so far.
We've tried to structure the wiki to make it clear what it's for. Here's
some more detail on what I want to include:
1. A list of all the events that will happen. Lots of organizing work is
happening on other wikis and off-wiki, such as through Facebook events.
That's great, and of course we want that to continue. But having a
single list of what's happening is immensely useful for organizers,
attendees, and the press.
2. On-wiki activities for reflecting on our anniversary and conveying
the magnitude of our first decade of work. There is a list of
preliminary ideas on the [[Share]] and [[Ideas]] pages.
3. Providing a space to gather resources for organizers, including a
basic press kit and a set of anniversary designs put together by Jay
Walsh and David Peters, whose work you will recognize from the 2009
Annual Report. The designs will all be uploaded to Commons shortly and
will be in a gallery on the anniversary wiki. I'm really excited about
this part of what's been prepared, since it's ideal for the
customization and localization that needs to happen.
These designs are yours to run wild with, and some of them will be
incorporated into products (t-shirts, buttons, stickers etc.) that will
be provided to event organizers that want them. All we need to give you
these materials is a basic set of event details and contact information,
all of which can go on your event page. If it's unclear on the wiki what
we're asking for, then that's my fault, so please let me know.
4. A place to document everything that goes on. Encouraging taking
photos, video, and making written records of what everyone is up to in
their celebrations is essential (and it's fun, at least to me). Media
should probably go on Commons, as is standard procedure, but I'd love to
see everything aggregated into the event pages on the wiki. Sharing the
cool things that you're doing will be both a gift to other Wikimedians
who can't be there, and will create a permanent record of our first
double-digit anniversary.
If you have any questions, either about the wiki or however else the
Foundation can support you in planning, I'm your best point of contact.
I'll also be posting more regular updates to this list.
Thanks for reading,

Hi,
for your information, Wikimedia Nederland is working on a a combination of
some events around January 15th, and has set up a committee to organize more
events throughout the year. As these ideas will develop further, you will
see them appear in our chapters reports. We plan to have a year of
activities roughly - some of which we would have done anyway, some of which
are new.
Around the 15th, we will organize:
* A boot camp for museum employees on how to write Wikipedia articles 13-15
* A hackathon 14-15
* A newyear reception/party/whatever-you-call-it on the 15th
All of these in or around one of the museums of Amsterdam (still
negotiating).
Best,
Lodewijk
