A Wikipedian in residence at MART
MART, Contemporary and Modern Art Museum of Trento and Rovereto, Italy, and Wikimedia Italia announce the opening of a call for a Wikipedian in residence, that is, an experienced user of Wikipedia who will be present in the structure for a six-months period to assist in the creation of items related to the work of the museum. The (paid) residence, the first of its kind in Italy, is scheduled for the period from May to October 2014, and is born after MART joined Wikipedia's GLAM Project.
The collaboration of the Wikipedian will be to upload images and documents on Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource, with the aim to strengthen the articles on museum-related work in the field of conservation, documentation, promotion and dissemination of art, to make freely available to a vast public a large and various data asset.
To apply, you must submit your CV in PDF format before Sunday, April 13, 2014, along with a covering letter to the address wir@wikimedia.it, with te subject “Candidatura WIKIPEDIANO IN RESIDENZA – MART”. The full text (in English: the position requires detailed knowledge of Italian language, but it is open to everyone) of the call, with a detailed list of requirements, can be found on our site.
News from Italian OpenStreetMap
Starting from this number of Wikimedia News, we are happy to add a column about news from OpenStreetMap. (Wikimedia Italia is going to become the official Italian chapter of OSM). Note: in the English version of the newsletter we will publish only the news about initiatives happening in Italy.
- In Genoa, two associations collaborate with the school and the city administration, to try new ways to preserve some of the historic memories of the neighborhoods. There is a video about it.
