00:00:02.025 --> 00:00:04.081
Wikimedia Commons is a free media repository.

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

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

00:00:19.058 --> 00:00:22.043
encouraged thousands of people in all over Europe

00:00:22.045 --> 00:00:26.043
to upload photos and videos of cultural heritage monuments.

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

00:00:32.013 --> 00:00:34.095
and about 25000 of them are from France.

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.

00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:49.011
The map you see here is produced collaboratively,

00:00:49.011 --> 00:00:53.040
and its data are free: this is the OpenStreetMap project.

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

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

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.

00:01:17.043 --> 00:01:21.048
This flickr groupe could reuse photos of monuments in Seine-et-Marne

00:01:21.048 --> 00:01:25.082
uploaded during Wiki Loves Monuments, since these pictures are free.

00:01:27.007 --> 00:01:28.085
But let's take this further...

00:01:28.085 --> 00:01:33.094
... what if inhabitants and tourists could contribute to a "Seine-et-Marne" flickr group

00:01:33.094 --> 00:01:38.045
and were encouraged to put these contributions under a free license...

00:01:38.045 --> 00:01:41.016
Imagine the map we would obtain...

00:01:41.016 --> 00:01:47.068
Moreover, imagine applications for mobile phones that we could invent.

00:01:49.036 --> 00:01:51.040
That's the point of free culture:

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.037
geting one's hands on local territories and contributing new to spread the local treasures.

00:01:59.035 --> 00:02:02.061
What Internet users do for the free culture, the free culture does it for you!
