Hello everyone,

The meeting went very indeed and I think this is shaping up to be an exciting project.  

During the meeting it was mentioned that there are some great synergies between the Wiki Loves project and a preliminary GLAM type project that I have been trying to get going with the Western Cape Archives.  Namely that it would be great if we could scan and upload a 100 or 200 images of the most important monuments on Heritage SA's list to the commons as part of the Wiki Loves project and then we could do a two pictures of each monument in question.  One from today taken as a part of the project proper and another picture taken from the archives of that monument in the past.

I think this would be great for Wiki Loves Monuments project as well as help give this possible GLAM project a bit of a push since the Cape Archives have been slow in responding to me.

With that in mind I would like to know if I could get the contact details of the gentleman we talked with at the meeting about this so that we could meet with him again to discuss this further as he requested during the meeting?

Great work and many thanks to Maarten, Lourie and everyone else involved for driving it this far already.  

Cheers,

Douglas.

Hello Dumisani

The meeting went very well, we are currently busy writing a little report on it. We will then present our idea to the WMZA board for approval. Should the idea get approved, we would like to extend the idea also to JHB. Can we then give you the contact details of someone in government in JHB? The people we have seen here in CPT told us that they will put us in contact with the other provinces, so if you could go and see the people in JHB, it would be great.

Kind regards
Lourie
