Notes

MoM

• Grant should be directed to WMF.
• We discussed the grant fiscal sponsorship agreement draft. Problematic is the section about re-granting which is prohibited. We're looking into possible work-arounds, as is the WMF.
• We can not give sub grants, unless we get an exception or we find a different organisation willing to sponsor the programme. Think about a simplified procedure for requesting grants (contact Asaf?) or find a willing chapter (Israel? Germany? UK?)

Website

http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/

• The former template is packagable, the current one not really so.
• There is some discussion about the look & feel of the new layout, and how much it can be fixed/changed.
• https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47674 is the bug related to this.
• We agree to continue with this tile structure, but quite a few fixes will have to be made. Tomasz will get in touch with Mono about it, and see how he feels about it.
• Feedback: color scheme, logo, explanation etc.
• UK: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49047

Partners

• Europeana: more info soon (special prizes: yes)
• Europa Nostra: interested, appointment soon (special prizes: yes)
• todo: INTO, WMF (World Monuments Fund), EHD

WHS

We discussed in the past to add the World Heritage Sites to the competition, independent of the country the monument is located in. Anyway, it won't happen unless someone transverses a set of Wikipedia pages of these sites into wikitables so that they can be inserted into the database.

Guinness World Record

Lodewijk is working on that.

Tech

• Someone from our team will need to talk to some from from WMF (Tomasz Finc ["tfinc" in irc], Brion, Yuvi) to make them understand some techinical difficulties related to the mobile app.
• Will need explain the workflow to the WMF.

Next meetings

We should probably move to a meeting once per week. If the time is a problem, Karthik can move up to finish time max 22:00 UTC. So start at max. 1930 UTC. Lets try out next week 1900 UTC, see if that works.

Action plans

• Karthik will mail WLM Taiwan team to find out if they wanna partner with organisations!
• Lodewijk get in touch with WMIL.
