I look forward to meeting with you (and anyone you've networked to!).
Basically, they are trying to organize metadata about the video & audio
recordings they will be doing. Video & audio is destined for Commons,
metadata for Wikidata, transcriptions for WikiSource, and we hope this
will all be deemed citable by Wikipedia; certainly by some Wikipedias,
though the English one may refuse to see this as citable.
We already hashed our a lot last night. Even for in illiterate
contributor we can sort out identity and permission by sending a video
clip to OTRS where they agree that they have no interest in any
intellectual property rights beyond attribution and personality rights.
The only problem we see there is whether you can grant a license orally.
Felix is sure that in Ghana you can, if it's recorded (he described a
pretty specific process); might be tricky in some other countries. Once
the rights issue is solved, the Commons end is easy: way withing
Commons' scope. But working out exactly what has to be tracked in the
metadata and how to model it remains open-ended. They had tried and
discovered they were out of their depth.

That’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing joe... really curious how they are
using Wikidata for this and where they want to go.
I wasn’t able to make it to the event the other Monday when Lane was in town
... I was bummed to have missed you Lane! ... but maybe we should sch a
informal Cascadia meet up at Allegra soon? Would be interested to hear what
people are thinking about..working on.
Also would like to invite the Jacob Lawrence team to join and librarians I’ve
connected with in the area ...
And - also There’s an upcoming editing event at Jacob Lawrence gallery - join!

Might be a project that Whose Knowledge <https://whoseknowledge.org/>
(started by a couple of WMF ex-pats) is interested in supporting? They
don't have a lot of technical resources of their own, but are probably
connected with the right networks.

I talked this evening with Felix Nartey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
/Felix_Nartey) from Ghana and it looks like their group are pretty far
along in arranging to do some orally-based work with people from indigenous
cultures there. However, the want to use Wikidata to track their content,
and on data modeling they are very much just beginners. I told them that I
suspect I am not the only Cascadia Wikimedian who would be interested in
helping them work out a schema to model the data, since several of us have
relevant skills. This might eventually also be of benefit to us locally as
well, for cultural stuff with ethic groups and tribes/nations in our
geographic area. Not sure all of what this will ultimately entail from us,
but Felix seems rock-solid, so we'd have a strong collaborator on the other
end: I'm pretty sure they can sort out most of what data they'd want to
track, and we'd just have to devise a schema.
Are there others in Cascadia besides just me who'd be interested in taking
this on? Anyone know someone not yet a Wikimedian (or not all that active)
who might find this interesting?
