Why not a world wide Wikitakes or a Photowalk day that way everyone everywhere can participate in it, no need for big off Commons organisation 2012/4/18 とある白い猫 <to.aru.shiroi.neko(a)gmail.com>

I do not think we want to select POT-DEC (lets not call it POTD which is something else :) ) from older POTYs since we don't have a large number to choose from. Also, it would be very boring to re-nominate the same winner again. If anything existing POTY winners perhaps should be disqualified for this reason. I am not too sure about the procedure would be best to be honest. I hope this discussion would determine that very aspect. :) US GLAM is appealing but we do want something global. Certainly US GLAM partnerships should be part of it but they should not be all of it. WikiLoves Monuments was a good precursor to this kind of activity. Perhaps a kind of "lessons learned" assessment may be useful while working on this. -- とある白い猫 (To Aru Shiroi Neko) On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 07:31, Nikola Smolenski <smolensk(a)eunet.rs> wrote:

The obvious: select POTD from all the POTYs :) _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

The voting could be carried out with the global event. Vote eligibility could be participating in the events for example. Of course not every country will have an event so not sure if this approach is a good one. -- とある白い猫 (To Aru Shiroi Neko) 2012/4/18 Tadija Mileti? <atnimnjin(a)hotmail.com>

Hmm, and maybe something where we can invite more people to Wikipedia? Billboards with : Join decade of knowledge. Participate! Write new article! Or something similar. I am also against POT-DEC, poor thing for big global event such as this. --WhiteWriter *From:* Gnangarra <gnangarra(a)gmail.com> *Sent:* Wednesday, April 18, 2012 9:45 AM *To:* Wikimedia Commons Discussion List <commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> *Cc:* smolensk(a)eunet.rs ; Wikimedia Mailing List<wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> *Subject:* Re: [Commons-l] [Wikimedia-l] [Commons-POTY-l] 10th anniversary of Wikimedia Commons Why not a world wide Wikitakes or a Photowalk day that way everyone everywhere can participate in it, no need for big off Commons organisation 2012/4/18 とある白い猫 <to.aru.shiroi.neko(a)gmail.com>

New subject: [Wikimedia-l] [Commons-POTY-l] 10th anniversary of Wikimedia Commons

Here's a related idea that I was going to put in its own thread, but seems close to the theme of a 10-year retrospective/contest/celebration. I took part in a meeting last week of Open Educational Resources projects, hosted by the Hewlett Foundation -- at the end of which we had a hackfest to flesh out ideas for improving awareness and use of OERs. One idea that was popular was organizing an annual OER awards, in coordination with some existing media fest like the OXCARS, where we would recognize the best contributions that year to free knowledge and open education, with high-profile attention for the winners. This would also recognize and amplify the work of existing contests, from which it would draw finalists in various categories of content and learning. The best materials would be wrapped into a beautiful publication highlighting the world's free creative output that year. I mentioned the Commons POTY (and other lesser POTY contests) as one project worth working with and promoting. For instance, the overall OER awards could draw a few major categories of images from the POTY classification, and its finalists could automatically be entered into the overall awards each year. Thoughts welcome: http://openetherpad.org/oerawards SJ 2012/4/18 Gnangarra <gnangarra(a)gmail.com>om>:

but a voting event isnt going to produce any new contrbituors, its just going to promote an image thats already been promoted. 2012/4/19 とある白い猫 <to.aru.shiroi.neko(a)gmail.com>
