00:00:02,025 --> 00:00:04,081
Wikimedia Commons is a free media repository.

2
00:00:04,081 --> 00:00:08,081
It helps illustrating Wikipedia articles -- but not only.

3
00:00:09,072 --> 00:00:14,021
This repository now contains more than 11 millions pictures, videos and sounds.

00:00:15,071 --> 00:00:19,056
In September 2011, the Wiki Loves Monuments contest

5
00:00:19,058 --> 00:00:22,043
encouraged thousands of people in all over Europe

6
00:00:22,045 --> 00:00:26,043
to upload photos and videos of cultural heritage monuments.

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,013
In one month, more than 170000 photos have been uploaded

8
00:00:32,013 --> 00:00:34,095
and about 25000 of them are from France.

9
00:00:36,021 --> 00:00:42,036
For the Seine-et-Marne [east of Paris], more than 150 monuments have been the subject of pictures and videos.

10
00:00:45,001 --> 00:00:49,011
The map you see here is produced collaboratively,

11
00:00:49,011 --> 00:00:53,040
and its data are free: this is the OpenStreetMap project.

12
00:00:54,059 --> 00:00:59,095
By combining informations from OpenStreetMap and geolocalized pictures from Wikimedia Commons,

13
00:00:59,095 --> 00:01:05,030
we have a map where you can see pictures from the Wiki Loves Monuments contest.

14
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:17,043
And here is the flickr account of "Tourisme77" [Seine-et-Marne tourism office], managed by the Seine-et-Marne.

15
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:21,048
This flickr groupe could reuse photos of monuments in Seine-et-Marne

16
00:01:21,048 --> 00:01:25,082
uploaded during Wiki Loves Monuments, since these pictures are free.

17
00:01:27,007 --> 00:01:28,085
But let's take this further...

18
00:01:28,085 --> 00:01:33,094
... what if inhabitants and tourists could contribute to a "Seine-et-Marne" flickr group

19
00:01:33,094 --> 00:01:38,045
and were encouraged to put these contributions under a free license...

20
00:01:38,045 --> 00:01:41,016
Imagine the map we would obtain...

21
00:01:41,016 --> 00:01:47,068
Moreover, imagine applications for mobile phones that we could invent.

22
00:01:49,036 --> 00:01:51,040
That's the point of free culture:

23
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,037
geting one's hands on local territories and contributing new to spread the local treasures.

24
00:01:59,035 --> 00:02:02,061
What Internet users do for the free culture, the free culture does it for you!
