 Hello, everyone. Good afternoon. Welcome to our Common Photographers user group session. So my name is Soyesh Divedi. Basically, I'm from India. And I am honored to be sitting here with the prominent names like the users of my friends along with Frank. So basically, I'm a board member of Common Photographers user group, and I am holding a vice chair position. And Frank with me is our secretary and the driving force to create this thing. So I think you all are aware about our activities, but here are the list of how we do and what are our future plans. And since this community is very old and we need lots of guidance from you, suggestions from you, like I was, this was my first ever photo walk. So I was not experienced enough. But I am lucky enough that we have good guides here. Yesterday, user Poco-Poco means I know you by username. He helped me a lot to find out the path where we can go for the photo walk. And yeah. So here we go. So this is our board. All you guys are here. You know, photo shy again. So this is me and myself. So yes, Frank is sitting over here. Irwin is here also here. And I am just waiting for him also. He's our treasurer with no money. Yeah, Shreya is an event coordinator. She is doing a great. And Kemenaga is our membership coordinator. And Wilson is another event coordinator over here. So we are the team of the seven persons right now. And we were fortunate enough, like we started our terms last year. And because we realized that this one year is not enough for us to understand the thing, then we consulted with our members that can we extend our terms. So our, you know, members are kind enough and it's very understanding. They understood that one year is not enough for any board to get things working. So we are at right now at our extension. So I think we can skip this slide because you know what is our prime motto. And that is the main thing is to just enhance our hand and mix not only handshake with the international community, not inside the Wikimedia, but outside of Wikimedia also. So basically we are thinking like there are lots of newbies who wanted to get expertise in photography and all they need some kind of trainings and mentorship. So we find this as our one of the prime goals. So right now we are working on this. So you might be knowing this famous thing which we do. I think, Frank, what do you like to say through a few words about this particular because this is your initiative? Yeah, please. Oh my goodness, sorry, my bad. Yeah, please. So short explanation of this. This started as I think your favorite shot of the year. We were doing it every January and it turned into your most memorable shot. So this is not about like image quality. You know, comments photographers are always like obsessed about like all kind of technical details which in this case doesn't matter. It's really what is the shot that you remember most? What is it that made this your most memorable shot? And we're doing it every January. And then people are invited to add a short story about the background of that shot. And I invite you to take a look at those pages because people share very personal things. And I find this, this is one of my favorite things actually to start the year with. And I'm amazed by how personal those stories are and how much you can learn about what people care about and how they feel about their photography. So if you haven't looked at this yet, please take a look, your most memorable shot. It's really cool and we've done it for five years now and I'm really looking forward to doing this in January 2024. And you don't necessarily have to be a member of our group in order to participate. So if you're into photography, if you want to add a picture there to that page, please do so even if you're not a member. Thank you, Frank. Thank you for explaining that. So yeah, there are, of course, we are known for the photograph, photovolks, so we have scheduled one more photograph, photovolk for today evening, it will start by six and we are meeting at fourth floor. That is, I guess, what's the name of that? Yeah, Planetary. So yes, we will be meeting outside and then yeah, we have the pages updated, the path where we are going to follow, right? So yes, these events are not limited to the Wikimedia, but we are also doing it outside, like this is in Philippines, happened in Philippine. Yes, as I already said that we are into this training thing. So we are initiated some couple of online meetups and training sessions. So here are the glimpses of some of the events, like BAN, we have a couple of very interesting sessions over there, so I'm just, yeah. This is, see, since we are into, we are open up not for the older one, but for newbies also, so we are taking this online session for newbies, especially for the school and college students. And one more thing that we are planning that everybody don't have the professional camera, but now new generation are more into the mobile photography. So we are also thinking to collaborate with some of the professional mobile photographers so that they can come and train our fellow Wikimedians. So yes, they are, okay, this was very interesting thing. Like, you know that for photography, the lights are not every time favorable for us. So sometime we need some post-processing. So user x-ray take this wonderful session about how to do post-processing. So this was very useful. So yeah, and we had one collaboration with the CIS A2K in India, where we ran Women Months Datathon on Commons. It was basically not for the photography, but to get, you know, to clean up a little bit garbage by, you know, making them in proper category. So it was based on categorization. So this outcome was very, very, you know, promising because this whole event happened within the span of 10 days and in very short notice. So you can see that the data was on the 13 participants, but, you know, there are good amount of depicts added more than 37,000 depicts. So which helps, you know, to get pictures more categorized in way, more useful for the other Commons projects, Wikipedia projects across. Okay, yeah, this is our online virtual meeting happened recently regarding the underground, underwater photography presentation was also there. And this was really very, people were very much interested about doing this underwater photography. So yeah, yeah, this is what about the photographs. Sorry, first it was a confusion that I put this photo on 16, then somebody came to me from the organizer that on 16 it's opening ceremony, so it is clashing the dates. So we have shifted to 18th of August, that is today by evening. And I think the map is already over there, the link of the map. We will start from here and go nearby the Marlin and surrounding area of that. And we will start by six so that we can not only capture the daytime, evening time, but nighttime as well. And we are not reassembling, we are free to go. Means after having the photograph, you can move from that place also. And we may meet tomorrow over here because I have also planned a meetup for photographers, Commons photographers user group. The dates and times are yet not updated because I want to have your opinion that what time suits to us so that we can sit together and brainstorm for the future programs. That's it, I think. And one more thing that, sorry, this is the duplicate one, but it looks much more lighter. So it is still over there. Yeah, okay. So like we have our own telegram group also dedicated for the members. We have a broader group also, yes, Commons. So this is the QR code. If you find any difficulty to join it, please ping me out. My telegram ID, sorry, I missed it. But yes, this is the QR code. Take the picture and you can join freely. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your coming. And if you have any suggestions and questions, please, you are welcome. Thank you. No questions, no suggestions. Thank you. Oh wait, there is no, oh. The process is very simple. All you need to sign up the page, there is no, there is no, you don't need to apply for any visa process. That is where the process is very simple. All you need to sign up. Faster than the AFCOM? Yeah, yeah, faster than the AFCOM, of course. Yeah, yeah, please. Yes. Well, hi, I'm Vojci. We love to. So for over a year now, I've been taking concert photographs and like there seem to be good enough that some media are reproducing them these days and they're even adding attribution, bravo, bravo. So if you want to have a session about taking concert photographs, processing them, I'm more than happy to help you. Yeah, Frank, please. This is perfect. So that gives me an opportunity to talk about the next session because then we have two speakers. So for our sessions, we always give speakers like half an hour. Most people use it as like 20 minutes presentation and then 10 minutes question. And the cool thing is, I was looking for a second speaker for the beginning of 2024. And if you have time and I'm gonna contact you, then you're the second speaker because I already have someone from Nepal who's gonna talk about travel photography in the mountains of Nepal and I'm super, super excited about both topics. Concert photography and Nepalese mountain photography are gonna be the topics for or maybe January or February session, if that works for you. So I'm super excited about that. Thank you for... Yeah, sorry. We can talk about that. Very cool. Thank you so much for volunteering. Okay, thank you. This is a sign from our, you know, a quick question actually. We have our... My name is Mehmuz Adodo. Yeah. I come from Wikimedia Benin, Africa. I already... Sir, because you speak French. Yeah, yeah. Okay. It's clean now. Yes, fine, fine, cool. Okay, my name is Mehmuz Adodo. I come from Benin, Wikimedia Benin user group. I have already signed my username on the beach. But the problem is a part of language me I don't speak very well English. I try my best. Neither me. I'm still struggling. But I noticed that when I put message on the... PDD, I have not the feedback quickly. Please make something like that. I will join the group telegram soon. Okay, thank you. So thank you everyone for having your time and if you are into that telegram group and I'll make sure I can spread this message as much as possible.
