<h2><span>Open Beelden</span></h2>
<p>The media institute <i>Sound and Vision</i> launched in cooperation
with the Kennisland Foundation the initiative "Open Beelden" (open
images), a website with audiovisual collections that can be reused
simply under a free license. As a part of this, over 200 Polygoon items
have been released under CC-BY-SA. 16 videos have been uploaded already
to Wikimedia Commons: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Polygoonjournaal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Polygoonjournaal</a>
. Wikimedia Nederland is working together with Sound and Vision to see
how they can continue to give an added audiovisual value to Wikipedia.</p>

<h2><span></span><span>Small subsidies: Writing Contest</span></h2>
<p>Wikimedia Nederland has awarded a "small subsidy" to support a
writing contest in the Dutch Language Wikipedia. Wikimedia Nederland
has € 1000 available for requests from Wikimedia editors for small
projects within the goals of the association.</p>
<h2><span></span><span>Free Cultural Heritage Conference</span></h2>
<p>Wikimedia Nederland is planning to organize a one day conference on
Wikimedia and Free Cultural Heritage by spring 2010 to inform the
cultural heritage institutions and other interested about the
possibilities and advantages of making (digital) material freely
available. The conference aims explicitly to lead to follow up
initiatives to make material actually available under free licenses. We
are currently working on finding sufficient funding for the
organization and contacting the right partners.</p>
