Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) Hamburg meetup.
Last week, between Thursday and Sunday, about 30 ipernity members from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (and maybe other countries?) met in Hamburg (Germany) for the traditional annual "ipernity-Hamburg-Meetup" that was revived after a two-year pause due to COVID-19. These meetings have taken place each year in Hamburg since 2012 and have always included a fairly extensive photo tour prepared beforehand by three Hamburg ipernity members. The photographic results of these meetings are shown in the following months in each case in particular in the Hamburg group and in a group for the participants of the respective meeting (in which the respective advance communication also took place). They will also be added to thematic groups matching the respective motifs, in which photos from Hamburg (and this year the neighboring city of Stade visited by some on Sunday) will be displayed.

To add life to the ipernity club we would like to suggest that you network more with each other in your respective cities and maybe even go on a little photo tour together. To achieve this we suggest the administrators of city-based groups use the new group-ipermail-function. This function can be accessed via the administrative group management and then below "Members and invitations --> Message". Presumably, a large part of the members of a city group live within the featured city, stay there regularly or are interested in the respective city for other reasons. It would be great to take for members to take group pictures in these cities. Group discussions are also a good way to coordinate dates (perhaps with concrete suggestions for locations, what should be photographed?) - or you can use specialized providers such as doodle.com etc. to coordinate dates together.

2) Website updates.
The ipernity team has been hard at work enhancing our website. Some recent changes include:

● Album descriptions again have the translate option, that had been removed.
● A bug in the translation of an article that excluded the introduction section has been corrected.
● A user's "More information" page now has the translate option.
● Ipermails now have the translate option on all messages, not only the most recent one of a sequence.
● Titles of the following now have the translate option: Album, Article, Discussion, and Subject of ipermail.
● The main photo page also gains the translate option for the title, although unlike that for the above, it only appears above the title with mouse-over the title.
● Also above the title there is now an icon that indicates when the photo has a Picture-in-Picture (PiP) or Note.
● On the right under the "Date taken" there is a new row with the counts for faves, comment, visits.

Translate does not appear on your own content. It is not active for Guests.



3) In memorial.
Unfortunately, we have recently learned of the passing of an ipernity member beloved by the community, Marie-Claire Gallet. We are grateful for having had the opportunity to enjoy her artistry.
