2013 round 1

Project idea

edit

The Wikimedia movement is at the forefront of copyleft, open access, and creative collaborations. The success of the movement depends on access to as much of humanity's produced historical, artistic, and technology data as possible. This proposal's main focus is scaling outreach to institutions whose mission overlaps with Wikimedia's but may need more information and motivation to take the next step to sharing their content in a compatible format and license.

Project goals

edit
  • Springboard GLAM efforts to scale across thousands rather than tens of institutions
  • Develop professionally produced multimedia to introduce content gatekeepers to the concept of open access and the benefits of the creative commons license specifically
  • Publish case studies of past successful partnerships
  • Connect WP:Outreach with WP:GLAM with Open Knowledge consultants

Sustainability

  • I will create a Thematic Organization called the GlobalGLAMathon to continue the work and distribute microgrants to art students.

Measures of success

Why print on 70mm film rather than simply digital? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh hi James, if you didn't notice, this is just a mock-up to test the grant proposal workflow. It's all a joke, seriously. Ocaasi (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
