[Wikimediauk-l] Copyright of images on 'Britain from the Air' website
You may have seen a buzz on social media in the last couple of days, about a new website, 'Britain from the Air': http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/ which features http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/about-project: images from the Aerofilms collection... Dating from 1919 to 2006... purchased by Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, English Heritage and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales... in 2007. The site-wide copyright statement, on http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/legalities, is somewhat ambiguous: The images, information and data featured on this website are subject to Crown Copyright and other Intellectual Property Rights held by the Partners and Individual Contributors as indicated. There are also copyrights relating to the database itself and to the design, structure and code employed in the website. Has anyone found an image on the site with a copyright notice excepting it from the default Crown Copyright? Presumably, the use of Crown Copyright means that we're at liberty to use images that are over 50 years old, like this 1928 shot of Birmingham: http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw022585?search=birminghamref=10 on Commons and Wikipedia? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

I don't think so - I think they're probably still copyrighted to the Aerofilms collection...

[Wikimediauk-l] Training semi-meetups in Cambridge?
I'm thinking of coffee mornings (Saturdays or Sundays) in Cambridge so people interested in new training stuff can gather painlessly. Don't want calendar events, just face time. I'm in Cambridge, as is Peter Coombe, as is Andrew Gray, and the Wellcome Sanger Group includes Magnus Manske, Darren Logan (Rockpocket) and Alex Bateman. A good start and obviously all would be welcome.

I'll also be in Cambridge for a large part of this summer. Keep me in the loop if coffee mornings are happening.

[Wikimediauk-l] GeoVation: applying QRpedia to the Wales Coast Path - we're through to the final!
This week, Roger Bamkin, John Cunningham, Robin Owain and I took part in an intensive, competitive event, as part of the GeoVation Challenge: http://www.geovation.org.uk/ We pitched a proposal to extend the Monmouthpedia model along the Wales Coast Path, the world's first footpath covering the entire coastline of a country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales_Coast_Path Our bid, which would involve training communities of people to edit articles about their local area, the erecting QRpedia codes linking to those articles, was very well received, and we're through to the final: http://www.geovation.org.uk/finalists-invited-geovation-showcase/ which will take place on 18 June. If successful we will receive funds which will cover the cost of training sessions and the production of QRpedia plaques and stickers. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
