Arnav, brilliant, though I think you should first introduce
photographers to the Commons and explain the benefits. Let me know
your thoughts, if need be privately, as I'm planning to go forward
with a special meet aimed at the photography community myself, in
Coimbatore.

 Hey everyone,

 As Noopur said GLAM and outreach cannot be seperated, +1 to it.

 Also wanted to share with you guys that the outreach event and
 workshop I am organising in February in MS University Baroda, the
 organizers from the city were amazed to know what Commons is and how
 wikipedia and other project get images and media from it.

 So they have asked me to come up with an event specially targeting
 photographers. Thus am planning for Wikipedia takes Baroda though at
 much smaller scale than scavenger hunt which has happened in other
 countries till now.

 Please give your inputs on it. And Noopur I ll get in touch with you
 offline regarding it.

 Thanks.

 hi,

 Well, L could reach WikiSource (old books?), WikiQuotes, Wikictionary
 (difficult, tho). Better to keep all options open. Also, all the Indic
 stuff would go on the Indic version of the respective projects. So, a
 Malayalam wikisource or a Marathi Wikisource other than just English.

 Pradeep, thanks. I forgot that the L stood for Libraries. Thanks.
 According to me. G- Commons, Wikipedia. L- Wikisource. A- Commons,
 Wikipedia, Wikisource. M- Commons, Wikipedia. Am I right? These are
 just indicative as to what element of GLAM joins which project.

 hi,

 Stuff from libraries and archives go onto WikiSource. I read/heard/saw
 somewhere that they're having a hard time monitoring docs uploaded
 there. Not sure if it needs monitoring for copyvio etc. So, a
 WikiSource person or encouraging a WikiSource person to do and learn
 more would be a welcome addition.

 Pradeep, my thoughts exactly. The Commons would be the most utilised

 Also, I'm curious to what role WikiSource would play here, especially
 in India.

 hi,

 GLAM contributions will impact contributions to Wikipedia sister
 projects like Commons and WikiSource. Would love if people active on
 these projects would come forward and share how such uploads from GLAM
 would need to be moderated, etc. Would love to hear more from someone

2011-12-15 Thread Lodewijk
Hi,

Nice work! I am not very at home in Prezi, so some suggestions by email:

* Maybe it is better to call Wikimedia a movement to avoid confusion when
they encounter Wikimedia India
* In the file formats you seem to miss .OGG (sound/video)
* It is probably better to never say Commons like we do, but always
Wikimedia Commons. Otherwise people get confused with Creative Commons.
* Is NPOV really relevant in Wikimedia Commons?
* Suggesting to dig up archives is dangerous - we have some bad experiences
in Israel with that. The danger is that they dig up photos taken by other
people of themselves. Maybe reword to your old photographs and focus on
authorship rather than (physical) ownership?
* Maybe add something about Featured images: if they submit really good
images, they might end up getting that status?

Anyway, hope it is useful,

Lodewijk

2011-12-15 Thread Noopur
Hey,

This presentation is not for audio/video. This came up since someone needed
a presentation for Photographers. Why I have used Commons interchangeably
is because I assume Arnav is going to speak to them about Licensing
(Creative Commons) as well as Wikimedia Commons. That is why I kept two
slides for both. I will change them to two clear slides in that case. For,
NPOV and uploading policies, I was refering to this:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_scope
Will change the archive bit too (thanks for the heads up!)
And, Featured images should be an excellent end :) (thanks again, you shall
be given a kitten soon!)
Warmly
Noopur

but might be nice to do it a little more openly so that the whole
community can be helped. Also, when such resources cannot be found,
they can have people trained etc. Something along those lines.

hi,

GLAM contributions will impact contributions to Wikipedia sister
projects like Commons and WikiSource. Would love if people active on
these projects would come forward and share how such uploads from GLAM
would need to be moderated, etc. Would love to hear more from someone
who's onto WikiSource, especially.

The way I understood it Noopur is willing to help out with a newsletter. Of
course GLAM will be part of it, but the newsletter WikiPatrika which we had
hoped would succeed needs to be revived if GLAM has to have a e-newsletter
to carry its articles in...

Pradeep, my thoughts exactly. The Commons would be the most utilised
project due to GLAM, and I think we should ask Yann, who is an admin.
Also, I'm curious to what role WikiSource would play here, especially

hi,

Stuff from libraries and archives go onto WikiSource. I read/heard/saw
somewhere that they're having a hard time monitoring docs uploaded
there. Not sure if it needs monitoring for copyvio etc. So, a
WikiSource person or encouraging a WikiSource person to do and learn
more would be a welcome addition.

hi,

Well, L could reach WikiSource (old books?), WikiQuotes, Wikictionary
(difficult, tho). Better to keep all options open. Also, all the Indic
stuff would go on the Indic version of the respective projects. So, a
Malayalam wikisource or a Marathi Wikisource other than just English.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam

2011-12-14 Thread Arnav Sonara
Hey everyone,

As Noopur said GLAM and outreach cannot be seperated, +1 to it.

Also wanted to share with you guys that the outreach event and
workshop I am organising in February in MS University Baroda, the
organizers from the city were amazed to know what Commons is and how
wikipedia and other project get images and media from it.

So they have asked me to come up with an event specially targeting
photographers. Thus am planning for Wikipedia takes Baroda though at
much smaller scale than scavenger hunt which has happened in other
countries till now.

Please give your inputs on it. And Noopur I ll get in touch with you
offline regarding it.

Thanks.

 hi,

 Well, L could reach WikiSource (old books?), WikiQuotes, Wikictionary
 (difficult, tho). Better to keep all options open. Also, all the Indic
 stuff would go on the Indic version of the respective projects. So, a
 Malayalam wikisource or a Marathi Wikisource other than just English.

 Pradeep, thanks. I forgot that the L stood for Libraries. Thanks.
 According to me. G- Commons, Wikipedia. L- Wikisource. A- Commons,

 Hello all :)
 I am glad you liked it and yes, I will post updates on the page. I am in
 talks with someone from a relatively big museum but am taking it carefully
 because these things, as you know, are very delicate. I might require the
 chapter's support and preferably someone from the chapter or foundation who
 is in Delhi. This will be sometime in January first week.
 SO, I urge you all to stick around AND, most importantly speak up.

 I only see a couple of names over and over and I am sure there are more
 people who agree or disagree. *Also, if you guys from the chapter saw the
 bit on regular meet-ups, do consider a zonal organisation for India as a

  Common questions by GLAM institutions in other countries:
 
 -
 
 Why Wikipedia, why not our own website?
 
  Because of the abysmal disparity in web-view. Simply, Wikipedia is the
  5thmost visited, gives far more visibility in web traffic as compared
  to your
  own website. However, integrating wikis and providing links is not hard
  either. So, it doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.
 
 -
 
 This is complicated, is there an easier way to collaborate?
 
  Advice to GLAM and cultural/outreach people: Carry presentations (PPT),
  simple statistics, don’t go into metrics jargon, show in simple numbers,
  percentage, fractions how people can make a difference or vice versa. Use
  things like color coding, emphasize on the importance and seriousness of
  ‘free knowledge’, larger things that Wikipedia is also in service of.
 This
  helps people connect at different levels. Most importantly, break your
  hierarchies and trash your rule books (or make simpler ones that use less
  jargon). If you are concerned about quality editing there are two
 solutions
  (get content specific editathons and organize a Wiki academy EVERY week).
 
 
  What happens once partnership is over? How to sustain?
 
  This is why a GLAM coordinator is not simply a GLAM person. S/he is also
  someone who does massive outreach: Wikipedia takes your city; Wiki loves
  monuments, wikiacademies, PR and network building with local, regional
 and
  national resource persons outside the community. While in capacity as a
  fellow, the idea is also to do value addition, train employees (at least
  train in minor edits, article making, image uploading). Source one
 contact
  through another.
 
  (My take: As I see it, there has to be a crucial change in orientation.
  From exhaustive internal debates, discussions and tool building
 exercises,
  it has to move and adapt to the larger Open and free scene, involving
  people albeit on a temporary basis and expanding. Monopolizing Wikipedia
 as
  a city, state or indic language space is only going to create a highly
  concentrated yet a very niche community)
 
 -
 
 (Question asked to me) 52 cultural partnerships listed on GLAM request
 page, why not India?
 
  Frankly, I had no answers why. My hunch is that since traditionally
 science
  and technology oriented courses and vocations have been encouraged, few
 lay
  people really know

Thanks Noopur for the detailed writeup. I am glad that you found it to be a
great learning experience.  Chapter is expected to play a key role in GLAM
initiative, based on our discussion with Liam in the beginning of the year.
We had some interactions with Dept of Public Libraries,Government of
Karnataka and  also Kannada Government Encyclopaedia project
http://kanaja.in(digital library)

Can you help seed some events around this?  You can use the

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam

Hello all :)
I am glad you liked it and yes, I will post updates on the page. I am in
talks with someone from a relatively big museum but am taking it carefully
because these things, as you know, are very delicate. I might require the
chapter's support and preferably someone from the chapter or foundation who
is in Delhi. This will be sometime in January first week.
SO, I urge you all to stick around AND, most importantly speak up.

I only see a couple of names over and over and I am sure there are more
people who agree or disagree. *Also, if you guys from the chapter saw the
bit on regular meet-ups, do consider a zonal organisation for India as a
community. Everyone kept asking me how this big a country manages to have a
single chapter for all. Let's make nodal points and have newsletters or
updates. I can volunteer to make a newsletter! *
Warmly
Noopur

PS. (thanks Srikanth R. and Arjuna :) )

 Hey Noopur, lovely mail. This should be made part of the FAQ on the
 Wiki India Chapter website. I read about a massive GLAM collaboration
 in the UK with a Museum for the Hoxne Hoard, which is a Featured
 Article in English. The efforts to get info, photos etc, are
 documented in the Foundation Report of 2009 2010. I believe this is
 what we need to emulate in India simply because much of our culture
 and heritage is present and rotting in several museums and we can save
 it on Wiki.

  Hey Pradeep and the rest of you,
 
  What I think was my biggest take away from the GLAMcamp is: GLAM and
  Outreach cannot be separated. Similar holds for expanding the India
  Wikipedia community. While doing Wikiacademy or workshops or clubs or
  meet-ups, the idea is to spread the word as much as encourage a culture
 of
  good editing. That is what these guys back at the camp take very
 seriously,
  every occasional meetup is a wonderful outreach opportunity! Let's talk
  more about that :)
  Warmly
  Noopur

  hi,
 
  Thank you for your update, Noopur. Coming back with more good and
  concrete is great and the best way for the community to reflect.
 
  Personally, I think there are people right now who are focussed on
  building a new breed of editors through WikiAcademies and
  Wiki-Workshops. This seems to be happening in tech schools and not in
  art schools. Very few of the tech school junta might be interested in
  the arts or history. But, they can teach the arts school junta to edit
  and help them out. I think it is this cross-disciplinary editing that
  we need to foster more in the Indian community.
  There are people on this mailing list who are interested in
  participating in GLAM. I hope they respond to this thread and
  participate in the conversation.
 
  warm regards,
  Pradeep

   Dear all,
   These are my insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam. I have put them in form
   of
   some key questions. For me it was a brilliant learning experience. So,
  most
   of these answers are not mine, rather they have been generated as
   collaborative responses by various people from different chapters. I
 am
   grateful to WMF, WM-NL and WM-UK for their special interest in helping
   encourage GLAM participation in India.
   This is the link to the programs:
   http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMcamp_Amsterdam#Schedule and in
 each
   session you will find an etherpad link to the live discussion!
  
  
   Why GLAMwiki is becoming all the more important?
  
   Flickr: popular mass upload tool but is no longer available; it has
  pending
   requests and flickr commons has no money to support more file sharing.
   Wikimedia Commons allows almost the same functions and metadata
 sharing,
   open licensing with a bonus Wikipedia link (something that
 institutions
  go
   by). Since most institutions don’t really know what Wikimedia or
 commons
   is, the Wikipedia name leverages partnerships and allows them similar
   archiving benefits. For us, it is also outreach.
  
  
   Common questions by GLAM institutions in other countries:
  
  -
  
  Why Wikipedia, why not our own website?
  
   Because of the abysmal disparity in web-view. Simply, Wikipedia is the
   5thmost visited, gives far more visibility in web traffic as compared
   to your
   own website. However, integrating wikis and providing links is not
 hard
   either. So, it doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.
  
  -
  
  This is complicated, is there an easier way to collaborate?
  
   Advice to GLAM and cultural/outreach people: Carry presentations
 (PPT),
   simple statistics, don’t go into metrics jargon, show in simple
 numbers,
   percentage, fractions how people can make a difference or vice versa.
   Use
   things like color coding, emphasize on the importance
