2023:點子/球
點子：為活動製作漂亮的拼圖球！上次在07年的維基媒體國際年會w/成功製作；如今我們有更多w/印刷經驗(3D列印 + 製作 + 輕量的材料都有進步)。
世界最大的3D拼圖？
- 我們打算同時製作最大的3D拼圖(物理上 + 最多片)，以及最大的3D物件組合。目前最大的是本田，4公尺長與1.5公尺寬 + 尾巴。任何我們製作能在裡面行走的，會打破世界記錄。
- 結構的骨架可能是測地線，能夠更為容易運送 + 組裝。每個[三角形]的測地線本身就是小型的3D拼圖，組成更大的結構。
- 邀請不同團體的志工來製作與攜帶個別他們想帶的材料
- The outward facing surface panels can be snap-on, w/ 2.5D shapefiles (limited range of depth),
- Easy to 3d printspare panels so there's a guaranteed full cover + a 'vanilla' version that can persist or be installed somewhere on permanent / rotating exhibit
- The finished puzzle should be taller than a person, so people can walk into the middle
- Cool things could happen inside the globe ... which we've never seen inside ;) UNTIL NOW!
- If the outward panels are ~flat and determined by the current logo, cool 3d elements of the internals can point inwards, to be viewed from inside. [representative of different regions?]
與自造者合作
- Metal, 3d printing, and wood makers from online communities / with their own physical-hacking channels
- Puzzle makers from online communities
- Lighting / electronic communities (to make the insides cool: door action, lighting, projection arc)
混搭
- Make image for the MSG Sphere at the Venetian -- get a surface-display shoutout to share online, if it's ready by then
- Make a planetarium image + get a series of similar shoutouts from major planetaria we love, while we honor the institution of the planetarium :)
- VA Science Museum has a wonderful Kugel fountain: collab with them (and commission a local team to install our own, they're surprisingly easy :)
- Reprise the 2007 production run of limited-edition 3d puzzle globe kits, make a limited edition run for the event.
投影至球型
- Consider a projector setup in the middle of the globe, with multiple projectors and translucent sphere surface (imagine a transparent interior and translucent surface paper) so that the display on the sphere is updated dynamically.
- This could be slowly updated – taking time to prepare something that maps onto the specific geometry – or rapidly, taking ~30 small images and projecting them onto the ~30 individual puzzle pieces
並不是維基百科球，而是維基媒體球
- 這並非維基百科的大會，維基媒體國際會議是維基媒體的大會，所有的計畫都會慶祝。不要只是專注在維基百科，但也有其他在維基媒體下的專案：維基辭典、維基文庫、維基書籍、維基語錄、維基大學、維基導遊、維基物種、維基新聞、維基數據、MediaWiki、維基共享資源等。
- Since there's no existing design of such globe, I would suggest the original Wikipedia globe, but instead of the various script of the world on each puzzle piece, we could put the various project logos on them. Since the number of puzzle pieces > number of distinct Wikimedia project, we could brainstorm what else to put there.
- If the globe is big enough, each puzzle piece could also contain a QR code, so people can scan each Wiki project to know more about them.
