Wikimedia Commons is a free media repository.

0:00:04.081,0:00:08.081
It helps illustrating Wikipedia articles -- but not only.

0:00:09.072,0:00:14.021
This repository now contains more than 11 millions pictures, videos and sounds.

In September 2011, the Wiki Loves Monuments contest

0:00:19.058,0:00:22.043
encouraged thousands of people in all over Europe

0:00:22.045,0:00:26.043
to upload photos and videos of cultural heritage monuments.

0:00:27.040,0:00:32.013
In one month, more than 170000 photos have been uploaded

0:00:32.013,0:00:34.095
and about 25000 of them are from France.

0:00:36.021,0:00:42.036
For the Seine-et-Marne [east of Paris], more than 150 monuments have been the subject of pictures and videos.

The map you see here is produced collaboratively,

0:00:49.011,0:00:53.040
and its data are free: this is the OpenStreetMap project.

0:00:54.059,0:00:59.095
By combining informations from OpenStreetMap and geolocalized pictures from Wikimedia Commons,

0:00:59.095,0:01:05.030
we have a map where you can see pictures from the Wiki Loves Monuments contest.

0:01:11.037,0:01:17.043
And here is the flickr account of "Tourisme77" [Seine-et-Marne tourism office], managed by the Seine-et-Marne.

0:01:17.043,0:01:21.048
This flickr groupe could reuse photos of monuments in Seine-et-Marne

0:01:21.048,0:01:25.082
uploaded during Wiki Loves Monuments, since these pictures are free.

0:01:27.007,0:01:28.085
But let's take this further...

0:01:28.085,0:01:33.094
... what if inhabitants and tourists could contribute to a "Seine-et-Marne" flickr group

0:01:33.094,0:01:38.045
and were encouraged to put these contributions under a free license...

0:01:38.045,0:01:41.016
Imagine the map we would obtain...

0:01:41.016,0:01:47.068
Moreover, imagine applications for mobile phones that we could invent.

0:01:49.036,0:01:51.040
That's the point of free culture:

0:01:51.040,0:01:57.037
geting one's hands on local territories and contributing new to spread the local treasures.

What Internet users do for the free culture, the free culture does it for you!
