Wildlife of Cameroon: Books published in obscure languages in Cameroon?, How? WUaS's Universal Translator conceptually, See, too, as it newly emerges - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Academic_Press_at_World_University_and_School, Cameroon World University and School and "African languages" at WUaS

Hi David, 

Thanks for your email. Yes. Conceptually, marry Google Translate in ~100 languages with recent developments in AI with its Tensor Flow with Wikidata / Wiktionary (building out dictionaries) in its Wikipedia 358 languages, with Ethnologue's 7,097 living languages' register with Glottolog's 7,943 entries under languages, with the ISO's lists of languages - in relational databases. Add Google Hangouts' Youtube videos of anthropologists / linguists doing field work in all 7,097+ languages, synthesized into a developing realistic virtual earth with realistic avatars (with time slider, so conceptually like Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider with OpenSimulator/Second Life planned for all 8k languages) for further language generation computationally. More here in blog posts in the "language" and other label  - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/language. And more here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - especially after CC World University and School (which is CC MIT OCW-centric in its 7 languages, and CC Yale OYC-centric) moves from our current Wikia wiki to one emerging from Wikidata possibly in MediaWiki. Thank you. 

See, too, as they newly emerge -

Ok I'll bite. Is this serious? If so I'm really keen to see the books you publish in some of the obscure languages I work on in Cameroon. I'd buy them in Mambila or Kwanja even if I wont in English. But I am puzzled how you propose to do it since among other problems there arent dictionaries availble (I'm working on it but don’t hold your breath)

Muir Woods: Holiday Greetings 2016!

Holiday Greetings 2016!

Jane and Scott MacLeod 

Muir Woods, California

Dear friends,

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I hope this finds you well and enjoying this season wherever you are.

Love in this holiday season in the context of this old world we live in …  

"Moehringia: "Love" in loving bliss - and generatively? ... Some characteristics of love in its best senses, Here are some wiki schools for this at WUaS - Caring and Loving - and Loving Bliss (eliciting this neurophysiology), {And how would agency as intentional causation (in philosophical senses) work vis-à-vis generating the "love" in loving bliss and in contemporary society and with information technology?}" ...

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/12/moehringia-love-in-loving-bliss-and.html. And in what ways is it possible to generate love re: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/10/golden-ghost-crab-curious-how-to-build.html?

I'm continuing to develop Friendly-informed World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - which is planning major Universities in all countries' main languages, accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, as well as wiki schools in all 7,097 living languages, for open teaching and learning. CC WUaS will likely move to CC Wikidata / Wikiversity / MediaWiki, CC Wikipedia's database for its 358 languages, developing with AI, machine learning and machine translation soon. On the wiki side, anyone can teach or create a new wiki subject page, or code creatively in other ways. On the online free CC degree side (Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B. high school - again planned for all ~200 countries' main languages), WUaS would like to begin with hiring graduate student instructors (which also works for accreditation - re "sections") from greatest universities to teach in group video conferencing to MIT and Yale faculty in video, for interactivity, and to keep teachers central as WUaS grows. WUaS would like to become a major employer in all 8k languages. WUaS seeks to become major universities as the “MITs / Stanfords of the web” in all nation states’ main and official languages, especially in regards to their STEM ethoses.

I've just published my first book (an actual / virtual ethnography) ~

Naked Harbin Ethnography:

Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin

by Scott MacLeod

Foreword by Nelson H.H. Graburn

UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus of Sociocultural Anthropology

http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html

Academic Press at World University and School

http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html

~ and it's about 350 pages long on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, with about 180 photos. It's in a new Academic Press at WUaS, which also seeks to be in all 7K + languages (partly to create language markets to regenerate smallest languages).

And I'm music-making playing Scottish Small Pipes (having moved on from playing the Great Highland Bagpipe after about 40 years - but playing with the same fingering), as well as a little keyboard - mostly bass lines - and much for Scottish Country Dancing, and enjoyably so.

For Friendly-informed World University, I hold what I call WUaS hive meeting spaces twice weekly at the SF Quaker Meeting / American Friends' Service Committee in downtown SF - open times for networking and connecting. I'm a member at SF Friends' Meeting, but go to meeting more these days in Western Friend magazine's online Quaker Meeting than on the ground there or to other Meetings in College Park Quarterly Meeting in northern California.

I've been making it up to Reed College Reunions in recent years somewhat regularly. I heard poet Gary Snyder give a keynote, for example, at Reed for its 100th anniversary celebration. I'm an appreciator of Gary Snyder's poetry ... (and have been writing poetry of my own as well - and much vis-à-vis Harbin Hot Springs' anthropological field work in recent years - which you'll find here ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry - and these may become my next book).

I still would like to begin a family and have children, and am remaining open to this.

All the best to you in the New Year and beyond, 

Scott

Hi P,

Reed Solstice party in the SF Bay Area this evening ...

WUaS wants too to hire Reedie students for 10 hours/week online, when we get going financially, organize the Ph.D. degrees and the law/med schools in many languages partly toward them plus much more. 

I also want to get the word out about my actual / virtual Harbin ethnography - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook - among some folks who still may be reading anthropology. 

All BEST, Scott

Brain music?

If I go walking in the GG Park, it would be beforehand (if anyone wants to come with, we could meet around 12:30 in front of the Conservatory of Flowers), because I'm heading afterward to my friend B.R.'s house on upper Market (where I used to live in a cottage behind his place). (He actually invited all of us over. as well, for a little holiday cheer, but I thought it could be better to wait until January or so). 

Musical cheers, Scott

Andean condor: Wikimedia movement strategy process and re World University ("[Wikimedia-l] Update on Wikimedia movement strategy process (#1!)"), How to get the CC MIT OCW in 7 languages into CC Wikidata from CC Wikiversity and then emerging into Wikiversity further as front end on the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE (and for many languages and even so the course catalog could be printable) is a next big WUaS planning question?, Re WUaS outreach, maybe WUaS could connect through WMF after this with our other neighbor in downtown SF - Salesforce - and their head of AI and marketing, R.S. with a Stanford Ph.D. in CS (and for our for-profit side too with a book store and academic press planned in all 8k languages)

Hi Kate, 

Thanks for your fascinating, timely and important WMF strategy email just now.

Having donated CC World University and School to CC Wikidata last October 2015 (see my email this morning below, as well as re meeting Stephen LaPorte for the first time at the WMF SF salon on 11/30), and seeking to develop wiki schools in all 8k languages and ~206 countries' (per 2016 Olympics) main and official languages ("Harvards of the web") - as well as to develop a for-profit WUaS wing in all 8k languages and 200 countries' main languages http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - I wonder how WUaS could be further part of the strategic conversation you outline. Thank you. 

Sincerely, Scott

* 

Looking forward to explore developing WUaS newly in Wikiversity/Wikidata.

Having met WMF general counsel Stephen LaPorte at the 11/30 salon (for the first time) at the Wikimedia Foundation SF, when I also gave the spontaneous talk about WUaS (thank you, again), I wonder further about getting WUaS's donation of WUaS to Wikidata, and now our possible exploration of developing WUaS in Wikidata on an upcoming WMF agenda per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_board_agenda_2016-12 . 

Here's the front page of WUaS in MediaWiki in archive.org from early 2016 - https://web.archive.org/web/20150324001526/http://worlduniversityandschool.org/mediawiki-1.24.1/index.php?title=Main_Page - and some related links and plans -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/09/bengal-tiger-wuas-in-mediawiki-and.html

And here especially are all the pages WUaS made in MediaWiki in archive.org, in two languages - English and German - 

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/04/coastal-sage-scrub-amazing-concerning.html - 

and which also highlight how WUaS will be structured, re further communications with Helmi ... . 

How to get the CC MIT OCW in 7 languages into CC Wikidata from CC Wikiversity and then emerging into Wikiversity further as front end on the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE (and for many languages and even so the course catalog could be printable) is a next big WUaS planning question.

Re WUaS outreach, maybe WUaS could connect through WMF after this with our other neighbor in downtown SF - Salesforce - and their head of AI and marketing, Richard Socher with a Stanford Ph.D. in CS (and for our for-profit side too with a book store and academic press planned in all 8k languages).

Regards, 

Scott
