Thanks Richard and Deryck,
If someone can do it and tell me I can let Lambeth know.
I got soooooo close with them releasing a first tranche of archive but in
the end we could not supply any volunteers to get the project going. I
would like to show we can do this so I can go back to the archives and try
again. They have one of the best in London and I get on well with them
chief archivist for whom I have a lot of respect plus being a councillor I
can encourage the opinion formers.
Could someone/anyone let me know when it is done so I can report back?
Best to all of you.
Thanks
Jon Davies

Hello Lucy and all,
Ideally we want a Commons volunteer with both OTRS and batch upload
privileges (which I'm neither). But if none of those boffins are available,
I'm happy to volunteer to do the uploading and liaise with OTRS on the
councillors' behalf.

Dear all
Many of you will know Jon Davies from his time as the CEO of Wikimedia
UK.
Well he still carries the open knowledge torch
wherever he goes, and has
managed to persuade Lambeth Council to release high resolution photos of
its Councillors (including Jon himself!) under a Creative Commons
license.
They are currently online here
<https://love.lambeth.gov.uk/lambeth-councillor-images/> - and Jon also
has access to a folder with all the high res files - but he is hoping
that
a volunteer will be able to upload these to
Wikimedia Commons. Would
anyone
be able to help with this? Please let me know if
so and I can put you in
direct touch with Jon.
Very best wishes
Lucy
