Re: [Wikimedia-l] Open Well-Tempered Clavier
That's wonderful; in the air here also. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if we could get a recording studio to sponsor the recording post-production for winners of a performance contest in the name of free music: to increase the throughput of efforts like this.

It's an exciting project, especially when you realize that Chopin dedicated the Préludes to Camille Pleyel, piano maker and owner of Salle Pleyel in Paris, at the time Chopin lived there. There will be a Kickstarter campaign for this project that launches very very soon! http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/kimiko-ishizaka-and-musescore-team-release-open-well-tempered-clavier The whole interview is worth reading, lots of interesting stuff there. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe -- Samuel Klein @metasj w:user:sj +1 617 529 4266 ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

Maybe we could partner with Creative Commons and friends to request Kickstarter and the other platforms to include a #freeknowledge tag, or a similar alternative (this example could have also been #public-domain)? Or maybe someone is already working on this? This is a wonderful idea. There is an occasionally-active hashtag already, #FundFreeCulture, but it would be a lot more useful if it had support from Creative Commons and other organizations and the people asking for funding started using such a tag proactively.

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] [PRESS RELEASE] Wikimedia Foundation adopts Open Access Policy to support free knowledge
This press release is also available online here: *https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikimedia_Foundation_adopts_Open_Access_Policy_to_support_free_knowledge https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikimedia_Foundation_adopts_Open_Access_Policy_to_support_free_knowledge* A version of this as a blog post is available here: *https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/18/wikimedia-open-access-policy/ https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/18/wikimedia-open-access-policy/* *Wikimedia Foundation adopts Open Access Policy to support free knowledge* - Future research supported by the Wikimedia Foundation to be made freely available The Wikimedia Foundation is committed to making knowledge of all forms freely available to the world. Beginning today, our new Open Access Policy https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Open_access_policy will ensure that all research work produced with support from the Wikimedia Foundation will be openly available https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Open_Access_Initiative#Definition_of_open_access to the public and reusable on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites. We are pleased to announce this new policy at the 18th ACM conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing http://cscw.acm.org/2015/ (CSCW 2015). “Wikimedia is committed to nurturing open knowledge for all, unrestrained by cost barriers,” said Lila Tretikov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lila_Tretikov, executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation. “The Wikimedia movement has a longstanding commitment to open access practices. Today, we are excited to formalize that commitment with this policy.” Over the past decade Wikipedia has been the subject of hundreds http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=2021326 of academic studies on topics such as flu forecasting http://www.technologyreview.com/view/532246/how-wikipedia-data-is-revolutionizing-flu-forecasting/, the influence of major global languages http://language.media.mit.edu/visualizations/wikipedia, and Wikipedia’s own geographic imbalances https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geographic_imbalance. The Wikimedia Foundation has made this research possible through a commitment to making Wikipedia’s data open and accessible. Open access scholarship is central to Wikimedia's mission to empower people around the world to participate in knowledge creation. Access to these open sources is critical to ensuring that articles on Wikipedia are reliable, accurate, and reflect our ever-evolving understanding of the world. Paywalls and copyright restrictions too often prevent the use of academic research in this effort. Our new Open Access Policy will ensure that all research the Wikimedia Foundation supports through grants, equipment, or research collaboration is made widely accessible and reusable. Research, data, and code developed through these collaborations will be made available in Open Access venues and under a free license http://freedomdefined.org/ in keeping with the Wikimedia Foundation’s mission to support free knowledge. The Wikimedia Foundation is proud to join the growing ranks of leading institutions with open access policies. Wikimedia Foundation Open Access Policy https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Open_access_policy 1. Expectations Researchers will need to provide unrestricted access to and reuse of all their research output if their research receives support from the Wikimedia Foundation in the form of: - funds; - letters of endorsement; - equipment, hosting, or office space; - access to non-public data or special API privileges; or - other support under an agreement between researchers and the Wikimedia Foundation. A. Proposal. Researchers will document their project on Meta-Wiki, including the original research proposal, main research questions, and key outcomes. B. Supporting Materials. Researchers will deposit their work in a public repository by the time of publication of any respective research article or within three months after the termination of the project, whichever comes first. The deposited work should be licensed as follows: - aggregated and properly anonymized data produced as part of the project under an Open Definition-conformant license http://opendefinition.org/licenses/, preferably CC0; - source code under the GNU General Public License version 2.0 or any other Open Source Initiative-approved license http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical; - media files under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 or any other free license http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses. C. Published Materials. Researchers will publish all output in an Open Access outlet under a Free License. - If a work based on the project is accepted for publication in a peer reviewed outlet that does not make its articles available online, free of charge, and under free licenses, an electronic copy of the
