>>Hello everyone
>>
>>As most of you know, I met last week with Heritage Western Cape (HWC)
>>regarding our partnership in Wiki Loves Monuments. The meeting went
>>reasonably well, with the core points discussed below.
>>
>>1) I managed to get hold of the long sought endorsement letter and official
>>HWC logo. The letter is visible on our website and can be found
>>here: http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/Letters_of_support.
>>2) HWC decided to provide us with R5000 for use as the competition prize.
>>They can either wire this money to us, or they could buy the reward
>>themselves and then pass it on to us, the latter being the least troublesome
>>for them.
>>3) They wanted more information regarding the competition launch, to which I
>>gave them the decided upon date of 1 September. Andrew (CEO of HWC)
>>mentioned that they would be willing to send someone to the launch to say a
>>few words. I believe that we should invite a few people from their
>>department, because of their efforts in helping us.
>>4) They also started to work on a poster to promote WLM that they will be
>>sending to 23 museums throughout the Western Cape. This is very good
>>exposure, and we should make use of it.
>>5) Each of these museums does have at least one computer with internet
>>access and HWC are willing to ask the museum staff to help with WLM on
>>Heritage Day. They are having a staff meeting soon, which means that we
>>should decide as soon as possible on the exact methodology of that day.
>>6) It was also advised that we decide on a few core participating museums
>>(Cape Town, Worcester, George, Mosselbay) that will promote WLM heavily on
>>Heritage Day. Should we decide on these museums, HWC would assist us in this
>>process.
>>7) WHC also informed me that their contacts at the daily newspapers are
>>looking specifically for stories regarding Heritage Day, and that they will
>>help us to work with these contacts to get the needed exposure.
>>8) They also came up with the idea that we should contact local photography
>>schools to help us with the initial levels of screening the photographs.
>>That way we will only get the best images to the high-level judges.
>>
>>On the same day, I also managed to meet with someone from the City of Cape
>>Town. We previously met with them, and they are still very much interested
>>in WLM. The other good news is that I managed to convince them to make
>>available old maps they have in their possession. These maps are very old,
>>some dating back to 1895! The only agreement is that these maps should be of
>>such a resolution that it could not be used for commercial printing. These
>>discussions are still in the initial phases and I agreed to follow this up
>>with them. In addition to this, they also have small articles already
>>written about a large amount of heritage sites, and with correct
>>discussions, they might also release these under a free license to be used
>>as article texts. Finally, they are potentially interested in sponsoring us
>>for the competition, which I must also still follow up.
>>
>>I believe that these meetings went very well and that we have good
>>governmental support. I suggest that the following points are important and
>>should be followed up immediately:
>>
>>1) Decide on what we want to do with the R5000 made available by HWC. The
>>sooner we decide on this, the sooner they can start working on it.
>>2) We should decide on the detail of the competition launch, as it is only
>>40 days away. We should create a guest list and invite the high-ranking
>>people before their diaries are full.
>>3) In addition to the above, we should decide on who could speak at this
>>event and approach them early to ensure their availability.
>>4) Decide on the methodology of Heritage Day.
>>5) The documentation on our website should be completed, as we can then
>>present it to the museum staff. They can then indicate to us how to improve
>>it and we can beforehand help them with potential questions.
>>6) We should now already talk to the contacts at the newspapers and invite
>>them to the competition launch. If we keep them informed, we can enjoy much
>>more exposure during the competition.
>>7) The local photography schools should be approach for help with filtering
>>the images.
>>8) We should also approach the City of Cape Town again and convince them to
>>release the maps and the articles they already have. Potentially we can also
>>get them to sponsor the competition.
>>
>>As you all can see, there is so much that we still need to do before the
>>competition! So if there is anywhere where you can help us, please contact
>>us and do so. If we want to make a success of this we will need the support
>>of everyone we can get.
>>
>>Kind regards
>>Lourie
