About this project's potential for impact[edit]
Please summarize how this project will help further Wikimedia's mission or meet our strategic goals.
The South of Italy is plenty of cultural associations and history but the participant in Wikimedia projects is not so widespread. The cycle of conferences will give the opportunity to have a better knowledge of Wikimedia projects in this group of activists and to offer the opportunity to release the content of the conferences in free license.
The organizer will release the following minimum deliveries:
- there will be a session at the end of the last conference saying thank you to Wikipedia for the support and speaking about the Wikimedia projects
- all published material (historical researchs) will be released under free license and can be freely used in Wikipedia projects
- there is an on going discussion to release under free license also the ancient musics
Some answers:
- How is this project aligned with Wikimedia's mission or strategic goals? Outreach and increasing of participants in Wikimedia projects in a region of Italy with few editors
- Will this project impact any of Wikimedia's projects? If so, please tell us how. I proposed them to release the material in cc-by-sa, mainly ancient musics played by professional musicians
- In which country or countries will this project have the most impact? South of Italy. The South of Italy have few wikipedians and this project may be a good opportunity to widespread the Wikimedia projects.
- How will this project create a positive change? I hope to create with them a good synergy and to outreach some potential partners (universities, local administrations, libraries and so on).
