[Wikimediauk-l] GeoVation: applying QRpedia to the Wales Coast Path - we're through to the final!

2012-06-26 Thread Andy Mabbett 
This week, Roger Bamkin, John Cunningham, Robin Owain and I took part
in an intensive, competitive event, as part of the GeoVation
Challenge:

   

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:

   

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:



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.

I'm certainly interested, dates permitting. I'll probably be around
14th/15th July - ie, the weekend of Wikimania, so if anyone is left in
the country then...

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

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

[Wikimediauk-l] Copyright of images on 'Britain from the Air' website

2012-06-26 Thread Andy Mabbett 
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 :

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
, 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=birmingham&ref=10

on Commons and Wikipedia?
