Dear All
Thanks for the continued interest.
After Friday's meeting, and enthusiasm from all the attendees at it, it looks like we have the complete support of the Western Cape Government heritage department for the Wiki Loves Monuments. The next step is to secure national support via SAHRA (South African Heritage Resources Agency) and other provincial heritage departments. We have a meeting with SAHRA on Monday to discuss the implications of the competition for them.
Maarten, Lourie and I are going to now construct the concept, mechanics and rollout document. When it is ready we will put it out to all for feedback. Please let me know if anyone else wants to be involved from a planning and meeting point of view.
Thanks! isla

I will be able to make it. I think it is rather important that we discuss and decide today what we want to achieve tomorrow. My Skype username is: louriepieterse.

Hi. I can make that time too. Please confirm if you want to do it. Otherwise we can talk next week about the mechanics and roll out of the project.
Thanks so much! Isla

Thanks for taking the time in writing this email, we from WMZA appreciate your enthusiasm and support! I am very happy that our meeting went so well, and are looking forward to the meeting tomorrow. Isla asked me whether we can maybe have a quick Skype session today just to plan what we want to discuss tomorrow. I will be available from 16:30 until 17:30 for such discussion, should anyone else also be available in that timeslot.
Kind regards Lourie

Hey all,
we had a very interesting chat this morning with the Director Western Cape, Andrew Hall. He was extremely interested in the WLM competition, and actually wanted to start right away.
Next Friday we have a follow meeting with other people from the Heritage organisation (other provinces, national level, ...). Things should really be moving then. Btw, you're invited to join this meeting in Cape Town.
Things discussed:
- 24 September is Heritage day. We should do something special on this
day (uploadmarathon, ...)
- Three levels of Heritage Sites: National (about 15), Provincial
(5000 in SA, of which 2500 in WC), and Municipal Heritage (15000, only in WC)
- The government is working on a database with all the heritage,
should be ready in July
Next meetings:
- 23 March: follow up, meeting with other people
- 12 April: meeting with the Counsil Executive Meeting (unsure if this
is of the municipality, on national level, of Heritage WC, ..)
Conclusion: I think we're launched in SA :-) Grtz, Maarten
