The next steps in the timeline for the 2023 election are
I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.


* October 20 – November 16: Nomination phase for candidacies
Our first external guest, [https://www.benhorne.com Ben Horne], will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on [https://www.youtube.com/user/bensdmkII his YouTube channel] which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.
* November 17 – December 10: Elections
* December 16: Results announced

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review [https://www.flickr.org/tools/flickypedia/ their alpha], reporting any technical issues or other feedback [[Commons talk:Flickypedia|via the Flickypedia project talk page]].
== Reminder: Commons Photographers meeting tomorrow ==


At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among [[Commons:Commons Photographers User Group#Events and activities|many other events]]. As I'm not running for an official position in our [[Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2023|current board election]], this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.
Just a quick reminder: the meeting with large format-photographer Ben Horne will happen tomorrow, Saturday, March 20. If you haven't done yet, please consider [[Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020|signing up for the event]] and add your questions to [[Commons talk:Commons Photographers User Group/Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020|this page]].
