<p align=justify>Italy boldly joins Wiki Loves Monuments. The third edition of the picture contest started September 1st and it will go on up until the end of the month. This year there is an unprecedented participation in Italy, thanks to more than 220 institutions that freed [http://www.wikilovesmonuments.it/monumenti/lista-monumenti/ '''3500 monuments''']. Those numbers are going to increase even more, showing that Italian public administrations are more receptive in spreading free knowledge and sharing of cultural heritage. This year we are pleased by the joining of the '''MiBACT, il Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo''', that supports the contest and invited national ''Soprintendenze'' to do the same and free their monuments.  
+
<p align=justify>The national gathering of OpenStreetMap supporters (OSMit14) will be held in Matera from ''October the 3rd to the 5th 2014'''- Mapping places in an open format, allowing the contribution by everyone to complete the maps is their core goal.
−
 
+
Why having OSMit14 in Matera? Because '''Matera is candidated to European Capital of Culture''' for 2019. The open mapping was a key element in involving the city and its citizens in a voluntary mobilization that had a big impact on the access to candidacy “semi-finals“, in 2013. '''Open Future''' has become Matera 2019 motto.
−
The 2014 edition, so rich in content, is going to acknowledge the ability of many photographers: besides the usual ten winners, who are going to get smartphones and cameras supplied by Euronics in cooperation with Sony, there will be additional '''special prizes''', as ''Euronics'', ''WWF'', ''Spazi Medievali'', ''Wiki Loves Busto Arsizio'' and ''Fondazione Gran Paradiso''.
+
80 to 100 mappers and supporters from all over Italy will be in OSMit14, to share experiences of open mapping in both Italy and Europe. All information about registration and attendance are available on the website http://conf.openstreetmap.it</p>

this is a big challenge for users, participating in a contest that spans over [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014/Participating_countries 36 nations], all committed to prize the cultural richness of their territories.

Cooperation on Open Knowledge between institutions and WMI is increasing. We recently signed an agreement with '''Regione Toscana''' (Tuscany region administration), that commited to increasingly release its geographical assets as Open Data.

<p align=justify>The '''[http://www.beic.it/it Biblioteca Europea di Informazione e Cultura (BEIC)]''' (European Library of Information and Culture) was born in Milan with ''the goal of offering to the community a state of the art structure for universal access to information and knowledge in all their forms, thanks to an on-line repository of bibliographic resources and documents from Milan metropolitan area using the most advanced digital techniques'' (translating from their website).
−
This was possible thanks to the choice by Tuscany to facilitate the re-use of its documents containing public data, promoting also the development of open source softwares. Wikimedia Italia along with Tuscany region will foster a series of activities aimed to dissemination and use of the regional geographical assets, promoting the integration of open content released by both parties.
+
This statement shows how BEIC and Wikimedia Italia share a purpose that pushed towards an agreement: our association will be a bridge between the Library and Wikipedia community. To this goal, the Board identified a member, known as [[Utente:Nemo|Nemo]], that will act as consultant, as experienced with the "Wikipedian in residence". In four months (September 15th - January 15th), the wikipedian will teach to and help BEIC employees in mastering Wikipedia and understanding its philosophy and the inner working of Wikimedia projects.
−
L'accordo ha una durata di tre anni, tacitamente rinnovabili, durante i quali Wikimedia Italia e Regione Toscana si confronteranno anche con altri Enti, Istituzioni e Soggetti Pubblici della Toscana, per "avviare progetti congiunti di affinamento ed arricchimento della conoscenza geografica, ambientale e storica, con il comune intento di favorire arricchimento, miglioramento, disponibilità e diffusione di conoscenza libera", come si legge nel testo della [http://wiki.wikimedia.it/wiki/Associazione:Delibere/2014/Accordo_di_collaborazione_con_la_Regione_Toscana delibera] che sancisce la convenzione.
+
Both parties hope that this partnership, even if limited at the beginning, will strengthen and grow.</p>

È in corso nelle ultime settimane un '''acceso confronto''' in casa Wikimedia, tra la Foundation e la comunità. Oggetto della controversia, un [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-08-13/News_and_notes episodio] avvenuto su Wikipedia in lingua tedesca. Dopo che gli amministratori avevano sospeso l'utilizzo del nuovo visualizzatore di immagini dei siti Wikimedia, denominato '''Media Viewer''', perché ritenevano il software ancora troppo poco efficiente, la Wikimedia Foundation lo ha ripristinato. Non solo, ha bloccato l'operazione di modo che nessun amministratore potesse provare a riportare la situazione come era precedentemente. Questo episodio è stato vissuto come una '''violazione''' del principio ''collaborativo'' che da sempre caratterizza la comunità Wikimedia. È stata quindi scritta una [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_Wikimedia_Foundation:_Superprotect_and_Media_Viewer/it  lettera aperta] alla Wikimedia Foundation (tradotta in diverse lingue) che è possibile sottoscrivere online. '''Jimmy Wales''', fondatore di Wikipedia, ha già espresso pubblicamente la sua [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales#Some_thoughts_about_MediaViewer.2C_my_Statement_of_Principles.2C_and_the_community.27s_relationship_with_the_foundation opinione] sul tema.

<p align=justify>After two years of training volunteers, meetings at schools, senior centres and with disabled youngs, the '''[http://www.archeowiki.it/ Archeowiki - New ''archaeologists'' in Lombardia.

The event will be held '''Friday September 26th''', from 10AM to 2PM, at '''La Fabbrica del Vapore''' in Milano. Thanks to the support of a group of volunteers, the classes will be involved in a big archaeological and wikipedian game.</p>
