uploading scanned films?

hello there! has anyone tried locally to organise something around outreach to photographers whose pictures were made on photographic films? we have not had such a campaign in Ukraine before, just individual efforts, like when a Wikipedian convinced an old photographer to upload his pictures of lost heritage to Commons, they had to scan his films to do that: https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/photos-of-destroyed-heritage/ as this year (to make sure people are not roaming around taking pictures for their own safety) for the Ukrainian part of the contest we decided to accept only pictures taken before February 24, 2022, we thought of maybe looking for ways to reach this audience -- photographers whose pictures are on films, so most probably old enough... but maybe there are some tips/things to be aware of when dealing with scanned films, and somebody on the list has travelled down this path already, and can share useful information? (sorry for crossposting, i have also asked about this on the telegram channel) З повагою / Best regards, antanana Wiki Loves Monuments Ukraine Disclaimer: This letter is sent in my Wikimedia volunteer capacity, not as a Board member of Wikimedia Foundation

Wikimania 2023 and Wiki Love Monuments collaboration: We love to see your program proposals!
by bustrias＠gmail.com 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hi Folks, We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We at the Core Organizing Team would like to see a program submission related to community initiatives such as Wiki Loves Monuments. The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on online campaigns and initiatives are topics we like to see this year. There are also photography outreach (photo walks, teaching participants on Heritage Photography). Singapore is one of a few countries where important cultural and heritage structures are at close proximity. It is great way to collaborate with each other. There is also a spacious Wikimania Expo space where achievements on Commons like Wiki Loves photography campaigns can be exhibited. For participants joining virtually, we also have allocated online hours for you too to allow you to participate & present. Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March. Visit the following links for further info: Wiki page: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program/Submissions Diff post: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/02/28/be-part-of-the-wikimania-2023-program/ Program Submission Form: https://pretalx.com/wm2023/cfp Kind regards, Butch Bustria Chair, Program Subcommittee Event lead, ESEAP Wikimania 2023 Core Organizing Team

20 Mar '23

Dear all, In another thread, Ciell, mentioned international jury is on their last round these days. We were considering making local announcements/awards event on the same day with international results, so we can also enjoy and review best international photos. Can organizers know the date and time of announcement ahead of time? Preferable week or more in advance, so we can arrange things and notify participants? Thanks beforehand, Best, Aleksey

Hello organizers! Exciting times! While the international jury is finishing up their final round in Montage, and the international team is preparing the communications and award ceremony ahead, I wanted to let you know that we will be sending our Grant Request for WLM 2023 to the WMF next week. I have pulled together a summary of the request <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2023/2023-2…> for you to read (and respond to, if you'd like) that highlights the key focus areas in our proposal, the priorities for 2023-2024 and the budget requested. Different from previous years, the budget will span for 1,5 years as proposed in February <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fu…>, to align with WM Austria's fiscal year to ease workflows and lessen workload for the international volunteers Please let us know what you think, and if there are any questions: the deadline for responses is Tuesday March 21st. Best, Ciell
