Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam
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.

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.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam
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?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam
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!)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 On 12/12/2011, Noopur noopur.ra...@gmail.com wrote: Dear all, These are my insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam.

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?
