I'm also hoping that this will lead to "cross-border" coordination
between Mexico, the US, and Canada, as well. But, I figure that can
be organized at a later date (and that we can discuss it at GLAMcamp
US, which will feature representatives from WM MX and WM Canada!).
This will be a great opportunity to also develop relationships with
smaller cultural organizations such as historical societies (many
which are often housed in historic buildings!), archives, libraries,
and other organizations that retain amazing visual content related
to historical buildings, monuments and landmarks in the United
States. And don't forget public art ;)
Personally, I'll be focusing on coordination of West coast projects,
since I feel that the US is going to be a bit tough to a solid
universal coordination (sort of like Russia, this past year) in. And
also I hope to use the Wiki Takes platform for events.
Of course I'll be taking photographs of historical places wherever I
travel this year, and I hope you will too! (And it's SO hard for me
to not upload those images!!)
