Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) Seasons change.
We hope as the seasons shift that you find yourself inspired by the light. Share some of that in one of our Days of the Week Groups. Here's a selection:

Macro Mondays
Happy Bench Monday
Happy Tuesday Table
Happy Wednesday Wall
Happy-Flexy-Wednesday
Orange Thursdays
Happy Fence Friday
Happy Chairy Saturday
Saturday Self-Challenge
Are there more? Let us know!

2) Where were you when you took that photo?
Now, if desired, you can manually enter the Lat/Lng of where your image was taken. While it is possible to add the Geoposition to the Exif before upload to ipernity, this new feature allows you to input the data after upload. If the coordinates are available, this direct input method may be easier than using the map interface.

3) In memoria.
Sadly we pass on the news that our long time club member Fabio - photosofghosts passed away in September 2024. Condolences and comments can be made on their in memoria page.

Your ima team.

Just kidding.

Additions to the list of the Day of the Week groups:

The Sunday Challenge
Note: The admin is the only member of this group, the group has not been active for about two years.

NOT The Sunday Challenge
Note: Same admin as for the group above.
Not clear if this is also a Day of the Week group.

Sunday Challenge
Active group.

Please be advised that the selection provided by the Team contains Day of the Week groups that are no longer active or have an inactive administrator. I propose that responsibility for such groups be transferred to the administrators of the "GroupBusters.

Without intending to offend, I believe that the majority of the groups recommended by the Team are not suitable for sharing photos inspired by the light of the changing seasons.
Furthermore, the ipernity gallery is a flagship for our platform and should be attractive enough to attract potential new members from the internet to us. If this is not or no longer possible due to certain circumstances, I would ask you to consider changing Explore's priorities.

Thank you. We knew Sunday was missing. (And thanks for the details about the groups.)
Are there any other 'days of the week' groups you know of?

Team replied to :

Cleaning up groups is a very large ongoing project that has been worked at on and off over time.

GroupBusters was created by Sami Serola when they were active on ipernity. When they became inactive, the team took over working on groups, however, with only four team members there isn't very much time available to be spent on the project. The Groupbusters group is now waiting for someone with time here and there to make progress. Anyone interested in helping groups be cleaned up can contact the team and help move it forward. It isn't complicated, it's just a large ongoing project that needs more people to work on it.

Because of the lack of support from our membership, adding these groups to the GroupBuster list would be ineffectual at this time.

Currently the team is working on transferring groups from our members who have passed on to current active members. Happily many people have offered to take over a lot of those groups, but there is extensive time involved in coordinating even this finite list of group administration and thus the team has no time left to work on the project as a whole at this point.

If you would like to take on part of the workload, please let the team know.

I have checked this point. In fact, the administrators of the groups HFW--Happy-Flexy-Wednesday and Orange Thursdays have been inactive for more than a year!

I would also prefer it if such groups were not quoted. This makes a bad public impression.

Incidentally, it reminds me to take up the topic of Group Guidelines again. If there are any other problems that have not yet been mentioned, please do so soon. Please post your issues there: Where does the shoe pinch?

Bergfex replied to :

One obstacle to cleaning up the abandoned groups is the rather time-consuming and in some respects bureaucratic process that Sami established. I think more automatisms would be needed so that no lengthy enquiries to various people are necessary.

In my opinion, any procedure is only good if it is largely automatic. Anything else overburdens our community. The human involvement in processing would have to be significantly reduced compared to the current procedure.

One might consider it a benefit to have mentioned those groups here in a club news, where the more active members read, and thus may offer to be admin. But the majority of visitors may simply see them as interesting and be quite unaware of the status of admin.

If anyone is interested in administering a 'day of the week' group that has an inactive administrator, please let the team know via a ticket.
