In the first half of the year 2014 I have taken some photo series in museums/archives of Cologne during press conferences and exbition openings:
Between June 27-29, Wikipedians met in the State Museum of Braunschweig to edit articles and upload pictures about World War 1. On the occasion of the upcoming exhibition concerning the centenary of WW1, curators and scientfic staff of the museum provided an insight of their work for the 26 Wikipedians and GLAM-contributors. The programme including excursions and lectures as well as results of the event for the Wikimedia projects can be found in theproject page and in theWMDE-Blog. This event was a follow-up of last year´s cooperation with the museum concerning the battle at the Harzhorn (seeproject page).
In June, 4 local Wikipedians and a WMDE-staff-member held a presentation and gave a workshop for the editors and employees of theSWR, a public service broadcaster based in Stuttgart. The staff members got an insight into the Wikimedia projects and had the chance to ask anything they wanted to know about the Wikiverse. They talked about Linux, free licences, open data and the possibilities that come with including open content in the organisation´s work processes.
