			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That <a href="http://www.wikilovesmonuments.ro" target="_blank">WLM</a> has enemies, we knew. Right here in Romania, we had some guy with a problem against RLUG which decided to write daily articles calling us idiots.</p>
<p>But a <a href="http://www.upp-auteurs.fr" target="_blank">French photographers&#8217; association</a> decided to up the stakes a little, putting out a press release that says, among other things:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Presented as a philanthropic operation, this initiative looks more  like a commercial action. Indeed, the participation is conditioned by  the acceptance of a CC license allowing the commercial reuse of the  pictures.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Private or public entities can therefore use this pictures legally as  postcards, posters, books or as illustrations in the press.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The professional photographers living from the copyrights are worried by this initiative [...]&#8220;</p>
<p>As somebody <a href="http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2011-October/002030.html" target="_blank">put it</a> on the WLM list, this means either: &#8220;some of our members didn&#8217;t bother to read the rules of the contest and discovered too late that people could reuse their work&#8221; or &#8220;There are some really good photographers out there who share their work for free so how on earth are we going to charge a lot of money for a bunch of good photos?&#8221;</p>
<p>What I want to point out is that in Romania, the jury is composed of members of an equivalent organization, the<a href="http://www.aafro.ro/" target="_blank"> AAFR</a>. We also had pictured sent by serious photographers who understood that the CCBYSA license was not a threat to their rights. It took some tedious explaining at times, but we made it.</p>
<p>I think it is important for all parties to understand that content contributed gratis by volunteers will never fully replace professional photographers. Fashion magazines cannot just call some volunteers to make the photos for their next cover simply because of the time constraints involved.</p>
<p>On the other hand, some news websites do use free content, often without attribution. This is usually resolved easily by email, as demonstrated by the recent appearances of OpenStreetMap content in <a href="http://www.evz.ro/detalii/stiri/unde-vrea-sorin-oprescu-sa-construiasca-al-doilea-pasaj-basarab-935719.html" target="_blank">Evenimentul Zilei</a> and <a href="http://www.hotnews.ro/stiri-9687696-.htm?nomobile" target="_blank">Hotnews</a>, 2 very popular websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last months I, together with <a href="http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nicu</a>, have prepared an interesting project aimed to support the development of the Romanian Wikipedia. Now I can finally reveal the result: <strong><a href="http://wikilovesmonuments.ro" target="_blank">Wiki Loves Monuments România</a></strong>.</p>
<p>We are part of a European contest that takes place in September in 17 European countries. People are<a href="http://wikilovesmonuments.ro/participare/" target="_blank"> invited to take pictures of heritage sites</a> in Romania and then upload them to <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">Wikimedia Commons</a> or <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/wikilovesmonuments/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> under the CC-BY-SA-RO license. The 10 winners from Romania will get some prizes, then will go on to fight for the <a href="http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/awards/" target="_blank">European jackpot</a> (which is still to be unveiled).</p>
<p>So, whether you&#8217;re a Wikipedia contributor, a photographer or a monument aficionado, take the picture (or make a movie!) about a monument and <a href="http://wikilovesmonuments.ro/participare/" target="_blank">upload it</a>!</p>
<p>Update: I also made a presentation about this at the August RLUG meeting. Here are the slides: <a href="http://proiecte.strainu.ro/prezentari/RLUG_august_2011.odp" target="_blank">odp</a> | <a href="http://proiecte.strainu.ro/prezentari/RLUG_august_2011.pdf" target="_blank">pdf</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This summer, I&#8217;m going to be a mentor for <a href="http://soc.rosedu.org/2011/?page_id=103" target="_blank">a project</a> in <a href="http://soc.rosedu.org/2011/" target="_blank">Rosedu Summer of Code</a>, the local version of GSoC. The goal of <a href="http://www.stagiipebune.ro/stagii.html&amp;id=895&amp;category=61" target="_blank">the projec</a>t is to create a way for <a href="http://pidgin.im/">Pidgin</a> and <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org" target="_blank">LibreOffice</a> users to send Romanian words that do not exist in the Romanian spelling dictionary to the maintainers of the dictionary. This is a continuation of <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/ro/firefox/addon/submit-word-romanian/" target="_blank">my previous work</a> on the issue with Firefox. It is also acceptable for the student to choose another application to work on.</p>
<p>Working with open source will mean learning to use the tools used in the project, as well as communicate with the other developers involved in the project by using mailing lists, wikis, IRC or any other mean used within the project.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re a student and you want the opportunity to work on Pidgin, LibreOffice or any other FLOSS software, please <a href="http://www.stagiipebune.ro/studenti.html&amp;id=895&amp;op=apply">apply</a> for a place at <a href="http://www.stagiipebune.ro/stagii.html&amp;id=895&amp;category=61" target="_blank">Stagii pe Bune</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(but just for <a href="http://www.rcs-rds.ro" target="_blank">RDS </a>clients)</p>
<p>A few days ago, I noticed a WiFi access point at Eroilor station. I took out my mobile phone and scanned for wireless networks, and much to my surprise I discovered 2 networks called Digi-Eroilor-1 and Digi-Eroilor-2 (or something like that). When I tried to connect, the first page announced me that the service was only available to RDS landline and Wireless Internet subscribers.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t got a chance to test the connection, but it&#8217;s still a nice touch. I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s kind of a replacement for 3G services, that Vodafone and Orange are providing in the metro, but I haven&#8217;t been able to find an official announcement or anything of the kind.</p>
<p>So, has someone else seen these networks, and if yes, where?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acum două săptămâni am fost invitat să le vorbesc unor studenți ce urmează &#8220;<a title="CDL" href="http://cdl.rosedu.org" target="_blank">Cursul de dezvoltare liberă</a>&#8221; despre Wikipedia și alte proiecte libere în care am fost implicat. Am decis să mă orientez spre proiecte non-software, tocmai pentru a le oferi și o altă abordare a libertății decât cea pe care o văd la curs.</p>
<p>Am vorbit deci despre oportunitatea folosirii limbii române în cât mai multe din proiectele la care participă, apoi despre Wikipedia și OpenStreetMap, iar în final le-am prezentat câteva informații sumare despre licențele specifice pentru bazele de date. Prezentarea este disponibilă in format <a href="http://proiecte.strainu.ro/prezentari/cdl2011.odp" target="_blank">odp</a> și <a href="http://proiecte.strainu.ro/prezentari/cdl2011.pdf" target="_blank">pdf</a>.</p>
<p>Prezentarea a fost bine primită, diferența între harta OSM înainte și după importul de date CLC smulgând câteva aplauze <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Din păcate s-a observat și în rândul studenților prezenți acolo o lipsă de încredere în capacitatea românilor de a produce conținut de calitate, precum și dorința multora de a pleca din România. Argumentul cel mai des folosit pentru utilizarea limbii engleze în blogurile lor a fost &#8220;pot să îl prezint unui angajator de afară&#8221;.</p>
<p>Un oarecare interes a stârnit și ideea mea cu o aplicație Google Apps de transfer de date între OSM și Wikipedia. Voi încerca să o pun în aplicare la următorul <a href="http://pybucuresti.grep.ro/2011/coding-day.html" target="_blank">Coding Day</a> organizat de PyBucurești.</p>
<p>Sper ca din cei vreo 20 de oameni prezenți măcar vreo 2-3 să aibă curiozitate să încerce proiectele despre care am vorbit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zilele astea a trebuit să dau comandă de mai multe echipamente electrocasnice. Cum online prețurile sunt cu aproximativ 10% mai mici ca în magazin, am zis să comand online. Am trecut pe la toate magazinele online &#8220;clasice&#8221;, gen Emag, Electrofun, PCGarage, dar și pe la unele mai obscure. Concluzia a fost că deși au prețuri mai bune overall, la magazinele exclusiv online te omoară transportul (1-2 milioane). M-am orientat așadar spre versiunile online ale marilor rețele de electrocasnice, <a href="http://www.domo.ro" target="_blank">Domo</a> și <a href="http://www.eflamingo.ro" target="_blank">Flanco</a>.</p>
<p>La Domo, livrarea e făcută de magazinul cel mai apropiat și este gratuită pentru comenzi de peste 300 de lei. Nu poți să-ți alegi ziua de livrare, dar poți să o negociezi cu cei din magazin. În cazul meu a fost super OK, au venit sâmbăta, am putut plăti cu cardul. mi-au adus produsele în casă, mi-au dat indicații de folosire&#8230; Din păcate, unul din certificatele de garanție a rămas necompletat, așa că a trebuit să sunt din nou. De la centrală am fost îndrumat spre &#8220;orice magazin Domo&#8221;. Din păcate, facturarea pentru produsele mele fusese făcută într-un magazin Tehnomarket, așa că a trebuit să mă deplasez până pe centură, unde am avut parte de o discuție interesantă cu o blondă (și la propriu și la figurat), însă până la urmă certificatul a fost completat în 5 minute.</p>
<p>La Flanco, situația este mai complexă. În primul rând, magazinul online E-flamingo nu are nicio legătură cu magazinele fizice din oraș, livrarea făcându-se către Fan Courier. Un punct pozitiv este că permite alegerea datei de livrare, nefiind însă clar de pe sit dacă e vorba de livrarea produselor către firma de curierat sau livrarea către client (s-a dovedit că era livrarea către client). La Flanco, livrarea costă și este calculată automat când comanzi, dar luna asta aveau o ofertă prin care toate produsele erau livrate gratuit. Livrarea se face însă &#8220;până în fața clădirii în care locuiți&#8221;. Mai departe te înțelegi cu curierul&#8230;</p>
<p>Am comandat deci, punând ca dată de livrare sâmbăta (aceeași cu cei de la Domo) și o adresă de facturare diferită de adresa de livrare. Am primit mailurile uzuale, însă surpriză! în al doilea mail, la adresa de livrare apărea adresa de facturare.  Din păcate n-am observat asta, așa că i-am așteptat pe cei de la curier sâmbăta toată ziua. M-au sunat pe la 1 că ajung peste 10 minute. După jumătate de oră, primesc un telefon de la ei că au ajuns la adresa de livrare&#8230;unde bineînțeles nu era nimeni. Îmi promit că încearcă să ajungă până la 2 când se termina programul, iar după aceea nu mai dau niciun semn de viață. Când îi sun, îmi spun calmi că n-aveau cum să ajungă și că produsele vor veni luni.</p>
<p>Produsele au ajuns bine mersi până la urmă, ocazie cu care am observat și eu că problema cu adresa li se datora celorde la Flanco, și nu firmei de curierat. Iar magazinul de la care se făcuse livrarea era&#8230; din Sibiu! Nici nu vreau să mă gândesc cât ar fi costat livrarea fără oferta respectivă. De curiozitate, am sunat si la Flanco și am pretins  că am un certificat de garanție necompletat; mi-au zis că ar trebui să mă duc la magazinul de unde am cumpărat produsele. După ce le-am povestit toată tărășenia au zis că pot să mă duc în orice magazin din București, dar că &#8220;nu pot să promită nimic&#8221;.</p>
<p>În concluzie: la Domo serviciile sunt în cea mai mare parte prompte și fără probleme deosebite, pe când la Flanco sunt prea multe părți implicate și șanse mari ca ceva să meargă prost. Deci dacă aveți cum, mai bine evitați Flanco.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a <a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ro/2010-September/001354.html" target="_blank">short discussion</a> on the Romanian OSM mailing list, I decided to write a small Python script to import the postal code data from <a href="http://www.insse.ro/cms/rw/pages/siruta.en.do" target="_blank">SIRUTA</a> into OSM, cited as demanded by law 542/2008, art. 32. As cities have multiple postal codes, I had to settle for importing data for villages, hamlets and towns. Still, over 12.000 new entries were added to OpenStreetMap. I will surely be an important resource for people wanting to use coordinates &#8211; postal codes association freely.</p>
<p>For people wanting to peek at the code, you can find it <a href="http://code.google.com/p/wikiro/source/browse/trunk/robots/python/OSM/osm_siruta_postcodes.py" target="_blank">here</a>. It uses the<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PythonOsmApi" target="_blank"> OsmApi library</a> and a stripped version of the dbf fron INSSE (converted to CSV), containing the following fields: <em>siruta_code, village_name, postcode, postocde_source</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Voices from out future: small language Wikipedias</strong></span></p>
<p>Această prezentare e ținută de Jimmy Wales. Jimmy face o serie de interviuri cu oameni de la Wikipediile mai mici, prin care să afle nevoile oamenilor respectivi. A ales 6 limbi cu sub 50.000 de articole, dar cu mai multe milioane de vorbitori (de la 3 la 230 de milioane).</p>
<p>Există probleme tehnice, ca de exemplu Windows și suportul pentru limbă în Sri Lanka (vă sună cunoscut? <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ), situl Wikipedia în Macedonia sau versiunile offline în Tadjikistan. Problemele de promovare sunt însă mult mai importante, afectând toate aceste variante. Competițiile de creat articole sunt întotdeauna interesante pentru contribuitori, însă puțini rămân pe Wikipedia (cam 20%).</p>
<p>Fundația susține aceste Wikipedii prin suportul pentru crearea unor asociații locale și prin soluționarea problemelor locale. Este nevoie însă și de suportul comunității.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Wikimedia offline și pe mobile</strong></span></p>
<p>Wikipedia offline și mobilă sunt practic două fațete ale aceleiași monede. Fundația ar trebui să faciliteze dezvoltarea de aplicații 3rd party, deoarece nu poate acoperi toate cererile. Câteva exemple oferite sunt: egranary (&#8220;The Internet in a Box&#8221;), <a href="http://thewikireader.com/" target="_blank">Wiki Reader</a>, un sistem hardware deschis, care folosesc Translate Wiki pentru limbi noi. WikiPock dorește să ofere Wikipedia pe dispozitive mobile. Există multe altele pe appStores la iPhone și Android.</p>
<p>Deocamdată, dispozitivele mobile nu permit participarea, de aceea s-au ales parteneriatele cu Telefonica și Orange.</p>
<p><em>Pentru mine mai urmează doar festivitatea de închidere, după care o noapte de cupă mondială și drumul spre casă <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
