Hi all
So far, Wikimedia UK's experiences of trying to work with the BBC have
been...mixed. I'm sure it would be worth going back to them at some point
but it makes sense to try and align our arguments and draw on examples.
On the other hand, our programme manager in Wales has had much greater
success. At his request, the Welsh Government has changed their YouTube
account licences on over 1,500 videos, of which over 150 have now been
uploaded to Commons. The Welsh Parliament (Senedd) is now considering
making this change on their YouTube account.
Wikimedia UK also has a partnership with the Welsh language free-to-air
television channel S4C. They have been placing their press releases on the
Welsh Wikipedia on CC-BY-SA for over a year now, so that the text can be
copied and pasted to Wikipedia articles. There are additional aspects
of this partnership currently in the works (but not yet agreed) that could
lead to further openly-licensed content on Commons.
I have contacts within Creative Commons and Open Knowledge Foundation, but
I suspect many people do.
Best wishes
Lucy

Hm...
In all honesty - I am surprised that these 3 organizations still do not
have explicit and continuous relations and shared point of contact. Maybe
it is an issue of professionalization of work (not fitting anyone's job
description) or something else, but I think it should be worked on now (and
maybe over this issue). My contacts are now just a few old friends (bottom
up) for now so I advise also for you just approaching German
representatives?
