Did you know that the Wikimedia Commons app has a "nearby" function, which searches Wikidata for items near you that don't have images yet? The app provides functionality to take or upload a photo to Commons through the app and automatically tag it on Wikidata, Commons Structured Data, and categories. Many of these locations are imported from lists of heritage sites and other scenic attractions. When you are bored and want to do something casually meaningful for open knowledge, why not turn on the Commons app and go on a walk to contribute photographs of interesting things around you?
If this proposal is accepted, I will prepare a poster with roughly the following layout:
BIG TITLE
Instruction screenshots
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -5
Photo montages on OSM base maps:
Hungerford, England || Sai Kung Bay, Hong Kong
(~4 photos each)
Capacity building, Storytelling
How does your session relate to the event themes: Collaboration of the Open?* –This poster should encourage casual Wikimedia contributors everywhere to piggback ("Collaboration") on geospatial data on Wikidata, and share open-copyright photographs ("of the Open") about listed heritage and other locations of scenic interest (in "the open", but in the literal sense of a public open space!).
What is the experience level needed for the audience for your session?* –Everyone can participate in this session
How do you plan to deliver this session?* –Onsite in Katowice
