Tech

[edit]

We made two call to discuss the technical points and the related hiring. We have received an e-mail with updates from Maarten. A small fix with regards to the campaign namespace is on its way. Romaine should play around with it! Some other changes also coming up. Discussion about the mobile app. The WMF is indeed developing an app (the wikimedia commons app) that might become useful for WLM in time, but will not promise to meet our timeline.

Grant

[edit]

No significant updates.

Prizes

[edit]

We can write an e-mail to collect suggestions about 2013 prizes. We may want to consider changing from what we did last year (vouchers), because it was complicated to get the voucher for some winners in some countries.
Karthik will ask around for suggestions, and make a proposal for 10-15 prizes within the budget. He prefers 10. :)

Moleskine notebooks

[edit]

There's an offer for sponsored notebooks like last year, but there are still shipping costs involved. WMIT will collect the notebooks and manage the shipping. Shipping should be from our budget, we're pending approval though - worst case the notebooks will be used in Italy (and surrounding countries perhaps). OnOne notebook weighs 300g, we try to keep the packages below 5kg because that is the main limit.

2013 jury

[edit]

Lodewijk sent around email asking for jury suggestions. He will collect them, and start a discussion about it in the international team in 2 weeks from now. (A)
