Dutch government provides freely licensed photos
by Akash Shah 05 Jun '07

Good to see so many people are part of this mailing list. It was good to hear from Eukesh. I had only come across him on his not so good RfA at enwiki :). I really admire the work he has done for the coverage of Nepal and related articles at the English Wikipedia. Today's signpost [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2007-06-04/Dutch_…] has an article about the Dutch government releasing photos of all cabinet members under GFDL. This is a landmark move by any government. I hope all the governments including Government of India follows suit soon. I had once uploaded hundreds of photos of our MPs, but they all got deleted under as they did not meet our strict non-free image guidelines. Is it possible that the Indian government would even consider any petition like this? Any suggestions on how we can also go about petitioning our central and state governments to start thinking about releasing photos under GFDL or PD. Creative-commons has an India chapter now. Could we co-ordinate with them to start putting pressure on our government? Akash Shah

Me too. :) I subscribed to every mailing list when I was on the Board of Trustees. I live in England and Australia, so I'm not directly involved with the proposed India chapter but I'm generally interested in the formation of chapters.

Hello everyone. I am aksi_great across various projects. Thanks hpnadig for coming up with this great idea to bind all the Indian projects together. There is IRC, but nothing better than good ole mailing lists :) I would really like to hear from other Indian language wikipedias about any new exciting things they are doing right now article stats, and other things. Regards, Akash
