Hi there people,
I and Maria were trying to coordinate the arrivals of WMPT and WMES people
in Berlin, and i think that might have some other people in arriving at 12
May.
Could someone create a table like in Chapters meeting?

Dear all,
We have prepared a draft agenda for the Friday of the coming up May Meeting.
The schedule for Saturday and Sunday will determine on those outcomes, and
will be set on Friday evening.
Please find the draft here:

If there are big missing gaps, please let us know asap! Oh, we put in lots
of breaks, so if you have a little something to go with the coffee from your
country, feel free to bring some samples!
Please note: there are some preperations we expect from each participant:
* Prepare ~1 minute introduction per participating country (no slides)
* Collect problems you encountered (you can email them around, but we will
ask everybody to summarize them in a few words at the meeting)
* Collect what are the best ideas in your country (idem)
* Think especially about what tools you would really like to see
Of course you're always free to share this on the mailing list, but most
importantly make sure you can share it all during the meeting.
Keep an eye on the above linked page, practical information will be posted
there.
With kind regards,
Lodewijk and Maarten
ps: the agenda for Friday contains a point at the end of the afternoon which
intentionally has too little time. The idea is to touch all topics there
shortly, and then decide how to continue tackling them (evening, next day.
Plenery, working groups etc.)
Hi all,
I'm looking for clarifications regarding the selection of pictures for the
European contest. Basically, I have 2 concerns :
1. the number of pictures to be selected by country
2. the selection criteria
For the second topic, the point is that we will start our local contest in
summer already and i don't want to have pictures refused on the european
contest because they where not loaded in September only.
Thanks for the clarifications,
Nico
Hi everyone,
We've been busy so I have a lot of good news :-)
Netherlands
We already have some partners and sponsors for WLM in the Netherlands.
Last Wednesday we had our first workgroup meeting for Wiki Loves
Monuments at our shiny new office in Utrecht. We're going to give extra
attention to "offline" promotion of the project, something we identified
as a weakness last year. We're also going to organize some local events
(like last years Wiki Takes Haarlem).
Europe
For the European part of Wiki Loves Monuments got in touch with several
potential partners.
Carare (http://www.carare.eu/) supports us with contacts at the moment.
You might remember by email about Video and Wiki Loves Monuments. I got
a response from the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision: They
would like to sponsor a European price for video.
This week I got a call from someone from the Counsel of Europe (the
people organizing the European Heritage days). They're willing to
support the project. I'm in contact with them to discus how exactly. For
the Counsel of Europe the European aspect of the project is very important!
As you might know Wikimedia and Europeana have regular contacts. I
visited them this week to discus several things which included Wiki
Loves Monuments. They're willing to sponsor the project with a nice
price and maybe more. One of the things they would like is to somehow
have a link between the photographs taken as part of WLM and their
collection. We've discussed several options like a matching game or a
special focus on Art Nouveau. Any idea or suggestions? This is probably
one of the things we want to discus in Berlin.
Europa Nostra, Creative Commons, OpenStreetMap and the European Route of
Industrial Heritage are still on my list. Suggestions on other
organizations to contact are welcome.
Looking forward to see you guys in Berlin!

Hi,
did I understand correctly, that pictures taking part from national
WLM competition have to follow the copyright rules on local Wikipedia.
And from European competition can take part only pictures that are
free enough for Wikimedia Commons.

Hi all,
on Friday May 13, 2011 there will be an international Wiki Loves Monuments
workshop in Berlin. This workshop will be organized by me and Maarten and
Wikimedia Deutschland.
Because we're organizing a European contest, we would like to make sure that
every participating country/region is going to be represented at this
workshop, so that we can coordinate matters, exchange experiences and help
wach other with problems.
*who is coming*
I would like to ask all participating countries to check with themselves who
will be going. There is a maximum of 25 participants, so please restrict
yourself in sending people. There will be no absolute maxima at this stage,
but I ask for your understanding. Please send *asap* on this list who will
be coming. We will then provide you with a code to register.
*costs*
The costs for this meeting will be 25-35 euro per night, incl breakfast and
your own travel costs. If you are representing a chapter that would like to
join WLM and to attend, but does not have the funds, please send your
details anyway, and let us know that you need financial support. We will
find a way to support you.
*program*
The program still will have to be figured out. However, on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Timeline
you
can find several topics that will have to be discussed.
*hackathon*
This workshop is coupled to the hackathon happening 13-15 May in Berlin too.
This allows for interaction with the developers, and ways to ask them to
help us write tools etc which we need. See for more information about the
hackathon: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2011 . If you are
a developer, you will also be able to register there. Some developers might
also attend our workshop. If you're a developer, consider to hang around two
more days :)
If you have any questions, please ask them. I dont have to remind you that
we need to act quickly here, sorry for the delays, because the tickets will
get more expensive etc.
Best regards,
Lodewijk
Hello, I'm Elisardo from Wikimedia España.
We'd want to find some documents or presentations to explain WLM project in
meetings with Administrations and companies that could be sponsors or help
us with monument data. We are planning some interviews with other entities
in a few weeks and that kind of documents could be very helpful.
And I'd want to remark too Lodewijk's mail about sharing WLM works. If a
chapter has, for example, a document about ''How to make good photos at
Petroglyphs'', share it!, because if it's useful for you, probably it will
be useful to the others chapters too, and, at the same time, they could help
you to improve that material... It's wiki!! :)
Thanks!,
Elisardojm
