Hello to all of you!

tl;dr: I'm searching for suggestions / partners in approaching public broadcasters. They could provide free content. Let's tell them all about it!

As you know, the international language communities in the Wikimedia Projects have adapted and built upon the content provided by the ZDF (biggest Public Service Broadcaster in Germany). There are dubbed versions available in English, Dutch, Welsh and Esperanto. There are subtitles available in numerous other languages.

The international public broadcasters can benefit from the experiences we've made here. They should now follow the leadership of various cultural institutions like the Dutch Rijksmuseum who make their content more visible and beneficial to artists and educators worldwide and licence it freely. In a time of crisis, we can learn together.

So... I know of some Institutions who already tried out stuff with Creativecommons. But I don't want to approach international broadcasters w/o consulting with you first. Maybe there's already some cooperation on other projects going on that I should know about or you know exactly the people to talk to.

If not, I'll just be sending mails and calls all over the place and hope to wake up the right people. But everything is more fun if we do it together ;)

Sincerely yours,

Bernd
