Subjects of Discussion edit

Copyright status of reproductions (see also NPG issue)

Is this list open to editing? I might add sharing curation expertise, distributing classification work, and improving descriptive texts (translation, expansion, context) Sj + translate

Of course this list is open to editing! :-) For the moment we'll pile in the ideas, and sort it into a schedule a bit later. However, keep in mind that a) it's not a training day but a strategic thing, and b) it needs to be more than just a "list of projects we can do together".

Would add digital image restoration, scalability plans, and benefits to donating institutions. Durova

Schedule edit

The schedule is very flexible but the general aspects are 9am-5pm, two tea breaks one lunch break, 1 main room and up to 5 side rooms. The event is not just "wikimedians lecture museum reps" so the schedule will have two-way elements (i.e. we don't get to decide just all by ourselves). But, this is a start:

Travel, Accomodation edit

Accomodation and travel covered by the WMF (up to a fixed total $ amount)
A limited number of Wikimedians can attend the full conference if they chose to stay

However! The chapter conference is being held in Berlin 3 days after this presentation. Many Wikimedians (board, staff, chapter reps) may need to travel directly from Denver to Berlin.

Resources required, links, stuff edit

Banners (WMF to provide?)
Folders
Handouts - something from the Bookshelf project?
- Re: handouts: a wall poster reproduction of a digitally restored featured picture could be useful.
