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 iolanda/iopensa

I love this idea! Even better would be for the poster to have a QR code to a video presentation online for those who want more information. In this way, more projects can be presented at events without travel expenses.

Dear Iolanda, dear all,
I like the idea as well. Given the increasing focus on tracking output and documenting outcomes, it might be useful if the posters systematically addressed this point.
Furthermore, if the posters are to be used to promote cooperations with new partners (e.g. GLAMs), we should make sure the perspective of the partners of previous cooperations are taken into account when creating the posters. Concretely, when talking about output and outcomes, we would also have to document the positive output and outcomes from the point of view of the cooperating GLAM.
Best regards, Beat

Dear Iolanda,
thanks a lot for this initiative. We have so often talked how lovely it would be to have a common set of case studies on GLAM issues. Hopefully the meeting will give us the final kick to get going.
We surely like to participate.

Dear all,
I am not a big fan of posters (certainly not those on paper) but if there is momentum to (re)try them as a way to communicate about our activities, I might give it a shot for some activities around GLAM or open access.
