A new derivative/compilation court ruling
by Andrew Gray 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Perhaps of interest... A new (US) district court ruling on the distinction between a derivative work and a collection in the context of CC-BY-SA licenses - http://www.technollama.co.uk/us-court-interprets-copyleft-clause-in-creativ… Looks like they came to the sensible decision - interpreting 'derivative' relatively narrowly. In this case, a CC-BY-SA image was used for the cover of a book and it was held that the license clearly did not extend to the rest of the book as a derivative work. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk

Thanks Jane and Steinsplitter, Categories I created yesterday are now appearing, but we still have the same problem when categorising uncategorised images. I've subscribed to the phabricator bug and will take a little break from commons. Hopefully it will be fixed at some point and I should then get a message from phabricator saying it is OK to return to Commons.

Hi, has someone changed something on commons to slow the rate at which things show up when you create categories and so forth? There was a thread on the cultural partners list about who could and could not see images in a new category of UNESCO videos uploaded, and now I'm finding when I recategorise images they no longer disappear from the category I'm working through.

Mentor needed for Outreachy project (Upload to Commons Android app development)
by Josephine Lim 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi, I'm Josephine, an Outreachy applicant who's hoping to work on the Upload to Commons Android app project - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114358#1701261 With the guidance of Nicolas_Raoul (co-mentor for this project), I have started contributing to the app on GitHub and have completed the microtask. However, we are still needing one more mentor for this project. If anyone is willing to help out as a mentor or point me to someone who would, I'd hugely appreciate it. -- Regards, Josephine
