Invitation as guest speaker to Episode 5 of WikiAfrica Hour

Hello User:Wilfredor,

I hope this meets you well.

Once again, my name is Ceslause Ogbonnaya, from Wiki In Africa. Three months ago we launched the WikiAfrica Hour with our first ever episode featuring outgoing Wikimedia Foundation CEO, Katherine Maher. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIgEatqSYJk&t=854s. Our second episode featured the role photography plays within a Wikimedia context, where we had special guests from Wiki Loves Earth, Nos Jardins, Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) and Nigerian Commons Photographers User Group. You can check out episode 2 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SMx7JpIk_g . For episode 3, we discussed the mysteries surrounding the WMF, and demystified the WMF Board during the session, with the help of two former WMF Board chairwomen, a section of the WMF Board election facilitation team, and the three WMF Board upcoming election self-nominated candidates from Africa. You can view the episode 3 via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWhISG1XCyc&t=1s . For episode 4, we hosted the Wikimania and Wiki Indaba 2021 Core Organizing Teams, where we discussed the organization of these two great wiki events. You can watch the episode 4 via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBnC41fUsPM&t=3060s. Our Wikimania 2021 conference Special edition can be watched here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjXkYboNeg&t=210s .

We started WikiAfrica Hour, a monthly vodcast, to build the community of Wikimedians across Africa by:

1.Interacting with guest(s) and ask questions from the context of and relating to African Wikimedians;

2.Providing a platform for Wikimedians to discuss topics, issues, projects and collaborations to promote synergy and more advanced knowledge within the Wiki communities across Africa, and

3.Sharing current updates, and highlights of Africa Wikimedians activities undertaken by Africa Wikimedians with the African audience, and those globally who are interested,

I wish to invite you as a guest speaker to the WikiAfrica Hour episode 5, titled "Wiki Loves Africa 2021: Meet the winners".

As one of the international jurors, a lot of our WikiAfrica Hour participants and attendees are certainly itching to learn about your Wiki Loves Africa international jury journey.

This episode is tentatively slated for 3rd September 2021 at 4pm UTC.

The vodcast is run live using StreamYard, with the support of Andrew Lih from the Wikipedia Weekly Team. WikiAfrica Hour is a live broadcast and will be simulcast on the Wiki in Africa YouTube and Facebook channels, as well as Wikipedia Weekly YouTube and Facebook channels. The episode will remain for reviewing on both YouTube channels.

I look forward to hearing from you, and confirming your availability.

Please let us know if 3rd September 2021 at 4pm UTC is convenient.

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 New Year!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Wilfredor!

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 talk19:54, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Wilfredor, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a pleasure to have you as a fellow Wikimedian this year. Wherever you are, enjoy the festive season and stay warm (if you're north of the Tropic of Cancer)! Your help in maintaining, improving and expanding Wikimedia Commons will always be appreciated.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
