Welcome to Amical Wikimedia monthly report of March 2016
Highlights
[edit]Catalan Wikipedia reaches half a million articles same week we celebrate 15 years!
[edit]Catalan Wikipedia was the second language version to have articles, just behind the English version. The first article was written in Catalan was Abacus, on 16 March 2001. It is currently the 17th version number of articles. It took 5 years to reach the first 50,000 articles and the project kept growing. On 2015, the Catalan-speaking community set the challenge of adding 50,000 articles throughout 2015. We wanted to reach 500,000 articles before our 15th anniversary. And we did it! To achieve this milestone we organized several contests during the year and we promoted the #repte500mil to encourage people to share their edits on social media. Read a blog post on the 500,000 article creator.
Building Commons Collaborative Economies in Barcelona
[edit]The encounter Commons Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for the People took place on March 11th, 12th and 13th. It will be organized by P2PValue European Project with the members of Dimmons, Research in Commons at IN3-UAB and IGOPnet.cc of UAB, Amical Wikimedia, Barcelona Activa with the new Department of Other Economies and Bar Cola, working group on colaborative economies and commons production. The commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy is an emergent model based in Internet-enabled collaborative communities building shared and common resources whose ownership is accessible as a commons. The most famous examples are the open source software (that seems to be more prevalent than the proprietary one in several fields) and Wikipedia. Commons-based Peer Production is rapidly growing, not just for the disruptive and very successful cases of software, but also for hardware (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology) accommodation (couchsurfing) and currency (local coins). More recently, we have also seen the emergence and growth of hybrid models which retain some similar organizational logic, such as being based on collaborative principles, but privatizing others. This is the case in corporate-based peer production such as Uber or Airbnb. The aim of the encounter is thus to highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented approach of peer production and collaborative economy, while proposing public policies and providing technical guidelines to build platforms for collaborative communities.
More concretely, the encounter had three main goals:
- To highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy, and project internationally the relevance of commons – oriented production in Barcelona and Catalonia.
- To build policy recommendations for public administrations, specifically to be sent to the Plan of Municipal Action (PAM) for the next 4 years of the Barcelona City Council, and the consultation process of the European Commission, on public policies of promotion and regulation of the collaborative economy and the model of city.
- To provide technical guidelines to build free and open software and decentralized technologies for collaborative communities.
The event included round tables, workshops, open session within three main topics Policies, Collaborative economy and Tech. Check the detail program here and blogpost report (in Catalan) here
Music Editathon at Musicology University
[edit]On Friday March 18, the ESMUC, Catalan School of musicology superior studies, opened their doors to hold an edita-thon devoted to Enric Morera and Enric Granados, in order to update, expand and create articles around these two Catalan musicians. The activity took place from 9:30 to 14 hours. The project coincides with the activities commemorating the centenary of the disappearance of Enrique Granados, and the events were held throughout 2015 to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Enric Morera. This first initiative is intended to be an annual event, dedicating each editathon to highlight a composer or prominent figure on the music scene.
