Hi all, Here is a status update about our collaboration with Flickr. * 5 cities have already signed up to organize photowalks: San Francisco and Denver in the US, Berlin in Germany, Leon in Spain, and Melilla. Our Flickr contacts have told us that they expect to see (many) more cities join in the coming couple of weeks. At this point, I see discussions about Brisbane, Australia and an invitation for photowalks in Italy (Thanks, Nemo!) * In Wikimania, bunch of us sat together and designed a user-flow that can help Flickr users identify which monuments are eligible, how to contribute, and how their uploads is to be brought to Wikimedia Commons. ** Paweł is working on a landing page that Flickr walk organizers and/or photographers can go to and get information about the eligible monuments. We will start testing the interface with the 5 cities mentioned above in the coming days. If you are the point of contact for the corresponding countries on our end, you may receive pings from us with question. :) ** Maarten started working on the bot that will read the images on Flickr and bring them to Commons. (The task is tracked at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173056) * As always, please make sure the list of definitely participating countries is updated. This is especially critical now that we have created external dependencies, i.e., people are organizing photowalks based on the information in this table: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Partic… That's it for now. :) Comments and questions are welcome!

Thank you Lily for this point! I've got several "on-the-ground' questions : how is decided what city organize photowalks? is it decided only on Flickr side? how can the local wikimedians found more information about this is they want to join/help organize?

Very similar to our model, it's volunteer based. As long as there is a Flickr user who steps up to organize a photowalk, the photowalk will happen.

Yes.

...

The discussions on Flickr end happen mostly at https://www.flickr.com/groups/2581696@N23/discuss/72157684767493213/ . If you know Flickr photographers in the cities you're interested in that are up for organizing a photowalk, do direct them to that page. If there are non-Flickr users from Wikimedia community who want to organize photowalks and engage Flickr photographers, please let me know and I will run this idea by our point of contacts in Flickr. My guess is that they welcome this, but it would be good to check with them first. (I personally support the intermingling between Wikimedia and Flickr photographers if it works for the local communities.:) Best, Lily

There are large communities of photographers for many major cities each of which have a discussion space e.g https://www.flickr.com/groups/-paris-/ This could be a way of encouraging contributions On 21 August 2017 at 17:00, Lily <lilyofthewest.wikimedia(a)gmail.com <mailto:lilyofthewest.wikimedia@gmail.com>> wrote: On Mon, Aug 21, 2017 at 7:53 AM, Nicolas VIGNERON <vigneron.nicolas(a)gmail.com <mailto:vigneron.nicolas@gmail.com>> wrote:
