Children's songs are universal. They are part of our cultural heritage. As you might know, there are a melodies that are sung in different languages. Sometimes with the same meaning, but sometimes they have total different lyrics and meaning. They illustrate how we are globally connected to each other. In a time where copyright dominates the music industry, we think it is important that the knowledge about songs like these is accessible. Not only the lyrics and their meaning, but also what they sound like. The wikis are a great place to collect this knowledge, just like the way these songs are taught to children around the world.
This presentation was used for a music scoring workshop. This workshop was an assignment for the Training for Trainers program at Wikimedia UK in August 2014.
This presentation is from the talk I gave at the Museum Computer Network 2014 in Dallas, TX. Here is the description:
An editathon is an ideal first step in beginning a collaboration between your museum and Wikipedians. Starting small with an editathon can open up a whole world of opportunities to co-create knowledge about collections with your community. This presentation is your chance to hear about organizing and leading Wikipedia editathons, with the hope that you will leave with the practical skills necessary to host such an event. The talk will sketch a typical editathon and answer beginners' questions such as "What is it? (and what is it not?)" and "Why we do it?" Examples, especially from successful Smithsonian editathons, will support a step-by-step guide to planning and executing an editathon.

Open Monuments Project at GLAM Wiki Conference 2015Aleksandra Janus
How GLAM WIKI could be helpful or inspirational for social projects or change is more commons questions than what is there still missed. In order to reconsider idea for GLAM WIKI and make some improvements we would like to take a closer look at situations where and how GLAM WIKI has some limitations. When it could not be a good solution and why?
Why didn’t we decided to base our project on Wikipedia? How are the other examples of such projects? Is it only the example of monuments? What should be done in order to make Wikipedia more universal way of opening GLAM?

Europeana Awareness year 2 review slides for Workpackage 2 'End-user engagement'Johan Oomen
General information on the project: http://pro.europeana.eu/web/europeana-awareness
Scope of this presentation: following the success of the first year, WP2 continued to deliver results in this reporting period. Overall progress for this year has been good, with no major deviations from the work plan. The content gathering campaigns for Europeana 1914-1918 were successful, both in terms of public engagement and content added as well as audience reach.
This year also saw the launch of the Europeana 1989 campaign, aiming to create a digital archive of memorabilia connected to the fall of the Iron Curtain. Besides the objects that were gathered, the campaign provided important insights into the challenges of managing a campaign which deals with more recent events. These lessons have been documented and will be taken on board in future campaigns.
The collaboration with the Wikipedia community was launched in January and continued throughout the year. A great variety of events were organized as part of the project, including an ambitious international photo competition “Wiki Loves Public Monuments.” As one of the results, a strategic plan for future collaboration between the two communities (Europeana Network and the Wikipedia community) was written in December.
Un breve resumen de la informática habla sobre los inicios sobre que es y también sobre la informática y la convergencia y en esto también se habla sobre la informática en la actualidad sobre que función cumple y que papel tiene en la actualidad
These slides have been produced to support people who wish to deliver a Wikipedia editing session for new users. The slides support use of slides for a Wikipedia Editing Session (available at #http://www.slideshare.net/lisbk/wikipedia-editing-session) and explain how the slides can be used and tailored.
This is the "before" version of the slides I created for my interview with Intergraph. I've also uploaded my finished submission. You can view it on my uploads page.
In August of 2011 I interviewed for a job at Intergraph, a large software company in Huntsville, Alabama. As part of that interview, each of the candidates were given a test project to redesign the company's corporate overview. This was my submission. I ended up getting the job. :^)
