Quick update on behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I hope you're well and enjoy taking photos for Wikimedia Commons. Here are a couple of quick updates on behalf of our group:
- Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:
- Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon” (Ziko)
- The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)
- You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.
- Also, we now have a page for local events organized by members of our user group: Local events 2022. Please check it out and consider organizing an event yourself!
- And finally, we're planning on offering a Post-processing Workshop on October 8. Please save the date; an events page with more information will go up later.
Thanks for being a member of our group and for sharing your works under a free license. Have fun taking pictures!
All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
You're invited to provide input…
Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.
In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Großartiges Skript
Hallo Volker,
die Welt ist klein. Ich beginne jetzt dann auch mit der UL-Fliegerei (stehe ganz am Anfang) und bin über Dein herrliches Flugfunkmanuskript gestoßen. So lehrreich wie unterhaltsam, wirklich gut gemacht - vielen Dank!
Beste Grüße --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:45, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Question from the CPUG Board
Dear user group member,
I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.
With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.
That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.
However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:
Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022
We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.
Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Happy holidays
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Martin!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikimedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk | 19:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, Rhododendrites, for your thoughtful and friendly lines. Since I also left FB a couple of years ago, I truly share your point of view. Enjoy the Holiday Season and all the best to you! Very cool image by the way! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 20:29, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
