Hey all,
we had a very interesting chat this morning with the Director Western Cape,
Andrew Hall. He was extremely interested in the WLM competition, and
actually wanted to start right away.
Next Friday we have a follow meeting with other people from the Heritage
organisation (other provinces, national level, ...). Things should really
be moving then. Btw, you're invited to join this meeting in Cape Town.
Things discussed:
- 24 September is Heritage day. We should do something special on this
day (uploadmarathon, ...)
- Three levels of Heritage Sites: National (about 15), Provincial (5000
in SA, of which 2500 in WC), and Municipal Heritage (15000, only in WC)
- The government is working on a database with all the heritage, should
be ready in July
Next meetings:
- 23 March: follow up, meeting with other people
- 12 April: meeting with the Counsil Executive Meeting (unsure if this
is of the municipality, on national level, of Heritage WC, ..)
Conclusion: I think we're launched in SA :-)
Grtz,
Maarten
