Dear all,

Jonas, thank you for the write-up. I also talked with Kasia about what
was decided.

I have several comments:

* regarding the large action component - I understand that the idea is
to replicate "Wiki Loves Art" - I think that we should do something
different: instead of doing grassroots digitizing, we should focus on
having the institutions release some portion of content - this could
differentiate us from the WIkimedia project. For example, in poland the
Zacheta Art Gallery has released a selected section of works and
documentation in an open way. We could then look for some way of proving
added cultural value through reuse - I fear the theme of 'hackathons',
as they are overly hyped, but some sort of creative remixing could be
interested, and I would involve the general public in this, rather than
in documenting / digitizing / photgraphing works

* with regard to policywork - I like the idea of building together a
service that can serve, from what I understand, as a guidebook/best
practices guide for GLAM institutions; I would tie this work with
policywork, along the lines of what Paul Keller presented at a "cultural
commons" meeting in Helsinki, where he tried to pull together different
open strands (public domain, orphan works, open licensing). if we could
provide such a "blueprint for complex openness" for institutions and
together present challenges for local aplicability across Europe, this
would be both feasible and interesting, I think.

* Kasia rightly pointed out that we need to make an effort to stress the
international dimension, I thus propose: a) that the remix competition
could be framed as international b) policy work is clearly international
in scope c) we should end the project with a European event in one of
member countries

* one other key issue is the budget: this work package is doable, but
also seems like quite a bit of work, we should start budgeting this;
another question is related to own funding - I assume that we will pool
together own funding declarations of all consortium participants - but
do we then share the funding equally, or proportionally to the
contribution? it would be best to have equal contributions, but is this
feasible?

i have one proposal for the ongoing skype calls - if you could make
notes (on a pad?) this would be easier for the rest to become involved,
if interested.

best,

Alek
