dear all
Wikimedia CH and Wikimedia Italia are preparing an event and exhibition in Ticino in
spring 2014, aiming at reaching new potential GLAM partners in Italian-speaking
Switzerland and north of Italy[1].
For the event we would like to exhibit also a series of successful projects related to
GLAMs. the idea is to use the format of a poster.
I thing creating posters of relevant Wikimedia projects can be really interesting not only
for this event but in general. we are also planning to use this format for the program we
are preparing for the bid Wikimania Esino Lario 2015[2] (it is actually a format which was
already used in previous Wikimania editions but unfortunately it didn't create an
habit). I believe a single page layout of a project, case study, tool, or
"how-to" (simple, short, with a consistent visual layout and quick to translate,
easy to print in A3 or larger) can really support (and facilitate the communication of) a
lot of the initiatives implemened everywhere by wikimedians.
please let me know if you like the idea and if you are willing to test the system by
producing one or more posters of a project you promoted or you like. it would be great if
we can have the support of a graphic designer or the communication team of Wikimedia
Foundation to set the layout; i'll contact them or please do not hesitate to send
suggestions for the right person to reach.
thank you and best regards
