Re: [Foundation-l] Wikimedia Poland to start a travelling POTY pictures exhibition in Warsaw (an announcement)
Cześć, Tomasz! is the exhibition already in use in April/Mai? There might be an occasion, where we at WMDE would like to display it at a very central location in Berlin. Pozdrawiam, Johannes 2011/11/24 Tomasz Kozłowski odder.w...@gmail.com: [I am crossposting this announcement to two mailing lists, feel free to pick up the topic on either of them.] Dear All, I am--yet again!--delighted to announce that Wikimedia Polska, the Polish chapter of the WMF, is organising a travelling exhibition of the winning POTY contest pictures. 16 images chosen by Wikimedians from all over the world in the annual POTY contests from 2006 onwards are going to be shown at exhibitions in various places around Poland. As some of you may recall, the exhibition premièred during the 10th anniversary of the Polish Wikipedia conference, having been visited by a few hundred visitors in just two weeks; some images from the pubic viewing of the exhibition are available on Wikimedia Commons at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Picture_of_the_Year_exhibition_-_Pozna%C5%84_2011. Our first stop is Przystanek Książka (a Polish wordplay for Book Break), a media library of the Public Library of the district of Ochota in Warsaw. The exhibition starts on Monday, November 28, and will remain until the end of the year. 16 pictures, the best of the best of the Wikimedia movement, will be shown in an exhibition open for the public, with descriptions available in Polish, English and German. For those of you currently living in Warsaw or going to visit the capital in the upcoming weeks: the library is located at 42 Grójecka Street, just two tram stops (and 8 minutes) away from the Warsaw Central railway station (tram lines 9 and 25), and is open on working days from 10 AM until 7 PM (2 PM-7 PM on Wednesdays). We are still looking for more organisations and institutions willing to hold the exhibition--if there's anyone from the neighbouring (European) countries willing to get involved or just looking for some information, feel free to approach me at tomasz.kozlowski @ wikimedia.pl. We hope to have a great event, and even if you can't visit the exhibition, please keep your fingers crossed that it goes well, and spread the news! PS For those going to take a peek at the exhibition _in real life_, there's also a Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=100219446762276.

Tomasz, that's absolutely great project and from the pictures he look amazing. During Wikimania in Haifa we also held a POTY exhibition, but I must say - your exhibition is lovely and look much more professional! Good luck!

Re: [Foundation-l] Wikimedia Poland to start a travelling POTY pictures exhibition in Warsaw (an announcement)
David - you don't have to wait to be incorporated :-) Feel free to go and recreate this exhibition, it's free culture after all! Tomasz - great work. I've always wanted to have my local community art gallery have a PoTY exhibition and maybe with the photos of your event I might be able to convince them. Perhaps it is out of the scope of what you could do this year, but have you thought about using QRpedia codes to link to the articles about the subject of the photos (so people can read more about what they are looking at). Perhaps for those images that are created by Wikimedians (not NASA etc) we could even get a paragraph from the artist talking about how they got the photo or why they like using Commons. Would give some nice contextualisation for the pictures :-) Congrats, -Liam wittylama.com/blog Peace, love metadata 2011/11/24 David Richfield davidrichfi...@gmail.com This is a really nice idea!

Re: [Foundation-l] Wikimedia Poland to start a travelling POTY pictures exhibition in Warsaw (an announcement)
David Liam -- thank you for your comments and good words, it's appreciated! The idea of QRpedia codes has been suggested to us just a couple of days ago by a Wikimedian who will be co-organising the exhibition in Bytom (in the south of Poland) in January and I unfortunately forgot about it, thanks for reminding me :) As the photos have already reached Warsaw, I can't add any stickers to them myself, but I'll try to sort it out with the library, if possible. And I particularly like the idea about the 'interviews' with the authors, it sounds really cool! :-) As for the images of the exhibition, for now we only have http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Picture_of_the_Year_exhibition_-_Pozna%C5%84_2011 released under a free licence (there's more unfree photos taken by various media photographers, links available off-list); hopefully, there will be more coming to the Commons as there are of course some Wikimedians from Warsaw going to visit the exhibition.
