Wikimedians at Catalunya Radio

Wikipedia Day at Catalunya Ràdio
On 13th of March, from 8am and throughout the day, Amical Wikimedia and Ramon Barnils Group organized an Edit-a-thon at Catalunya Ràdio headquarters, the Catalan public radio station. The event lasted 12 hours with live connections every half an hour. The aim of the initiative was to improve the article of the eminent journalist Ramon Barnils, a founder of Catalunya Ràdio, updating and renewing his entry and other related items. Catalan Wikipedia celebrated its 14th anniversary on the 16th of March, just when it is about to reach 500,000 articles, and the 14th of March was the 14th anniversary of the death of Ramon Barnils. 25 Wikimedians attended (8 new) the edit-a-thon in different turns. All the radio programs of that day were focused on Wikipedia: Wikipedians were interviewed on the factual programmes, the analysis program discussed on the impact of Wikipedia, the comedy show made jokes about Wikipedia, and the game show asked trivia questions about Wikipedia. The Ramon Barnils Group and relatives released photos of the journalist into Wikimedia Commons. The Catalan public TV and many digital media covered it, too. In addition, Wikipedians improved the Wikidata item and the Wikiquote page of Ramon Barnils, and made a lots of pics and recorded the voice of the journalists of Catalunya Ràdio for Wikimedia Commons. You can find the images here and here.


 
GLAMwiki coordinators at Wikimédia France HQs

Amical attended European GLAM Wiki coordinators in Paris
The impact, diversity and scope of the Wikimedia community’s activities relating to the cultural sector have greatly expanded in recent years, but until recently, the people charged with coordinating all this activity had never actually met! So, consistent with Europeana’s strategy to deepen its involvement in GLAM-Wiki collaboration (see previous blogpost) and the Wikimedia movement’s desire to emphasise sharing best practices among its local organisations, the GLAM coordinators from Europe’s Wikimedia Chapters were recently invited together for their first ever gathering, facilitated by Europeana and hosted by Wikimédia France. Both Europe’s GLAMs and Wikimedia Chapters are seeking ongoing relationships and to join projects that cross borders and languages. Following the work done by a dedicated Wikimedia-Europeana taskforce in August and January – in which Wikimédia France participated – Europeana and Wikimédia France are extremely happy to support these efforts as they both help to make European cultural heritage more accessible, re-usable and connected, and also consistent with Europeana’s 2020 strategy. What better way to increase the pan-European connectivity and re-use of cultural heritage than to facilitate greater communication between its Wikimedians?

What could be the most meaningful indicators to measure impact in GLAM Wiki projects? How to scale-up local projects by involving other chapters? Local Wikimedia organizations, as well as Europeana, are facing similar challenges and opportunities. Sharing successes as well as failures is key to leverage already existing actions and avoid repeating mistakes that others already experimented.

The 15 nations represented at the weekend’s-workshops all have GLAM outreach programs at different stages of development – sometimes coordinated by volunteers, sometimes by staff, sometimes by elected board members – but in all cases benefited from the sharing of experiences and devising of common goals for the forthcoming year. The full minutes and outcomes of the weekend’s workshop are available online.source


 
Acte d'Alaquàs

GLAMwiki conference in the Land of València
Organised by Amical in collaboration with JOVES.net network and the Alaquàs Town-hall, Conference about Wikimedia projects and how public institutions can use and collaborate with those projects. An audience of about 20 people with General Public, Librarian, Museum director and Local administration personel from various municipalities from the Horta Sud county. Conference held by Alex Hinojo with the collaboration of two members of Amical.

Must highlight the warm welcoming and the good ambience in the conference, where the professionals coming from about 7 different towns discovered free-licenses as an option to publish their own works. Since the celebration of the conference, Free licenses have been used in materials published by some of those municipalities.

Catalan Gastronomy media donation
The Baix Empordà County has released about 500 proffessional images of Catalan traditional food, recipees and ingredients on an open license so they are beeing now uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by our volunteers and used in many articles. On 2014 Amical gave a regular Wikipedia workshop for professionals of the Baix Empordà County. One of the attendees was particullary interested in food documentation, and after some months of conversations, his organisation has decided to open up their content. They are releasing under CC-BY / CC-BY-SA licenses both documents, images and recipees of Catalan representative food of their County. Baix Empordà is the official naming for the world wide known touristic destination brand Costa Brava. Enjoy and reuse the pics here.
