Hi Charles, I would love to attend, but only if somebody can donate a full week's pay... I might be interested to attend one or two half-days when I can get off work. How do I go about it ?

Hi, I discussed with Emmanuel, our contact in OFEV. The purpose of his request is not to offer place to attend to theses conferences.The purpose is to offer at the Wikimedia movement the possibility to be present with photographers to increase free content. In this case, to create photographies of personalities who will be present. I'll be present : monday (PM), tuesday, wednesday and thursday morning.

An: kerry.raym...@gmail.com, Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination - closed list cultural-partn...@wikimedia.ch Hi All I have been working on something using the redirecting service that QRpedia provides without using the actual QR code for the Natural History Museum in London (final write up coming soon). We get around 50% foreign language visitors and offer them very little (apart from a newly released audio guide). What I've made is basically a photographic representation of the museum that links to the Wikipedia articles for the species, I've included a link to the mobile site version as it looks nicer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NHMandSM/NHM_Galleries I think this offers a few key things: 1. It offers people the chance to work together to curate a museum (or any other space) in their own way with many different perspectives, e.g * Butterfly identification guide for our butterfly househttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NHMandSM/NHM_Galleries/Butterfly_House * Mammals Galleryhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Natural_History_Museum_and_Science_Museum/NHM_Galleries/Mammalsgives Wikipedia articles for species in every display case * Browse a book that's on display (The Birds of America) with links to each species in your own languagehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NHMandSM/NHM_Galleries/Treasures/The_Birds_of_America/Pages * Being able to augment displays already in the museum: * Add to the Giant Sequoia cross section we have that has names and dates on it's ringshttp://www.nhm.ac.uk/print-version/?p=/kids-only/at-museum/star-attractions/giant-sequoia/index.htmlwithlinks to those events and people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NHMandSM/NHM_Galleries/Giant_Sequoia * To link to Wikipedia articles from text on museum signs and to offer people the change to do translations of that museum sign in their own language.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NHMandSM/NHM_Galleries/Fossils_from_Britain * Tree identification guide (not finished yet) 2. It has very low technology barriers compared to something using an app, it works on any browser on most devices, including odd things like Blackberrys and microsoft tablets 3. You don't have to put QR codes everywhere, sometimes it's not possible. 4. Anyone can do it for their local museum, art gallery, nature reserve etc at no cost and without permission. I played around with quite a few things before coming up with this including using Layar (image recognition) and google maps with geocoding, both being hard work and clumsy and not working very well when things are close together or 3d objects or the software doesn't allow collaboration. I have no idea where this sort of thing should live, any ideas? At QRpedia's heart it's a Wikipedia language redirect that happens to have a QR code as the way of getting there, perhaps it just needs a different name, Wikipedia language link?. I'd love to see QRpedia being used in a lot of places, for instance I would love to see QRpedia being used on OpenStreetMap links to Wikipedia and also for other projects like Wikivoyage.

Re: [Wikimediach-l] [cultural-partners] Successor to QRpedia?
Purely speculative: several research institute in Switzerland have develop apps to recognize mountain peaks, I wonder if, using the pictures of monuments in Commons, such institute couldn’t develop a database of « profiles » used to recognize monuments in Switzerland. Based on the the geolocalization of the camera you should easily determine which profile to use for each monument? charles ___ I use this email for mailing list only.
