And when users are in the right place at the right time, they can claim an item from the list and publish a photograph of it.Īll photos on The List (CC-BY) are freely licensed, meaning that everyone can use them.
Through The List, organizations will provide lists of locations, people, and events that they need photographs of. But there’s no way for those organizations to be in the right place at the right time, every time. NGOs, journalists, government agencies, and cultural institutions all need photographs to tell their story and educate others. Matt Lee The List powered by Creative Commons I also do a lot of type design, and I used to do a lot of 3D art and animation in Blender. One of the images I was also paid to write a tutorial for on VectorTuts (). I have been contributing SVG illustrations to the wikimedia project for about two years, and at the time of writing, 31 of my images have made Commons Featured Picture status. I am an American vector artist and type designer, who works exclusively in Inkscape, Blender, Fontforge etc and other free/open source apps. I would like to tell people how SVG can be used to provide high quality textbook-level illustrations, and get more SVG artists involved in illustrating Wikipedia. I believe that this would be a valuable talk, because SVG is typically associated with HTML drawing and low-level technical diagrams, and there are few examples of the format being used for anything more sophisticated than graphs, schematics, and simple drawings, or more meaningful than proof-of-concept artistic renditions of cars or anime figures. My Commons SVG portfolio can be found at. My illustrations have received dozens of awards from Wikimedia Commons, and I would like to give a talk about producing and contributing them. Other wikimedians who have gone to LGM in the past have suggested that I give a talk at LGM about my work, since this is a rather new thing for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, as these projects have typically been stronger in text and photography.
