Very nice. Good luck, Leo!
Somewhere in here there should be a showing of Monument Men.

All,
I am pleased to announce that Wikimedia District of Columbia has selected
Leo Zimmermann to lead our Wikipedia Summer of Monuments project. Leo's
experience running Wikipedia workshops and reaching out to rural libraries
have prepared him for what is our largest outreach project yet. The object
of Summer of Monuments is to improve photographic coverage of nationally
recognized historic sites in the Southern United States, a region that is
underrepresented on Wikipedia. In particular, we have identified ten states
where photographic coverage lags behind: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Our plan is to build on the success we had with Wiki Loves Monuments with a
campaign of direct outreach to those historical and cultural institutions
who share our mission to improve access to the world's knowledge. To learn
more, read our latest blog post:

We invite Wikimedians and our allies to join us in this effort to share
history on Wikipedia!
