Dear all:
This is a gentle reminder to all wikimedians to attend the Bangalore monthly meetup #27. The highlight of today's session is a invited talk by Lodewijk Gelauff from Wikimedia Nederlands.
The talk will be sharing experiences from the recent project Wiki loves Monuments. The Project intended to photograph as many of the 50,000 national monuments (“rijksmonument“) throughout the Netherlands. These included archeological sites in Drenthe, the canal houses in Amsterdam, and the Royal Palace in The Hague.
The project received wide coverage on Wikimedia's blog as well as signpost. The scale of the project and the application of best practices from earlier events were significant.
