Hello all,

I am Sylvain Boissel, and I work as a tech manager for Wikimedia France, and a small part of my job is to lend the photo equipment of the chapter to the French Wikimedians who request it.

I am not a very good photographer myself, so I doubt I'll ever actually cover en event for Wikipedia or Commons, but I'm interrested ;) 

Best regards,
Sylvain.

Dear all (if there is any),

I just confirmed for this list and think it is a good idea to start to introduce myself  ... and ask who additionally is here.

I am Achim Raschka from the German Wikipedia and I started a project called Festivalsommer (means festival summer) in the beginning of this year. For this project we got some budget to buy three sets of festival cameras and we sent out wikipedians and commons photographers to several festivals over the summer period. I think we were quite successful with a total of more tha 70 festivals visitied and by now more than 12.000 pcs uplaoded from more than 500 bands or artits - you can find an overview on those outputs at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Festivalsommer/Bildergebnisse_2013

For 2014 we will go further to our second round - and I think it is a very good idea to have some links to other international organised photographers since there are several overlaps and other cool ideas in the wiki world starting from sports and music photography to aerial photographies and others.

That's me - who are you?

Achim
