Activities

[edit]

The project begins in June 2o14 in Porto Alegre, flew and began my ride two weeks later. Since then I have scoured 8 states: Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Parana, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul totaling 63oo kms away.

The main idea of the project did very well documented cyclists and bike culture.

Photographed over 3oo people with the photo recorded a deposition about using the bike in your life. Our collection of photographs open source is already included with 3,659 photos saved.

Here just the bike portraits. http://projetotransite.com.br/retratos

Here all the photos. www.flickr.com/photos/96759246@N04/

Here in part to upload the photos on the wiki repository had a difficulty using the wiki platform, because I have little time in front of the computer, or use in precarious situations (such as inside a tent I chose to use the private service for leveling flickr photos of the project. They allow you to upload many photos directly from the edition I use program. Gave various reports for free program like Gimp saying my diffculties to use free software for editing and cataloging photos.

The project team is studying the best way to attach the materials created by the project to the repository wiki.

Anyway this category has served as an example in activities that develop during the journey so far.

Project goal and measures of success

[edit]

Project goal

[edit]

General project goals

  • Photograph and document the Brazil aboard a bicycle.
  • Feed a repository of free images.
  • Make portraits of users of bicycles (this photos have some rights reserved by legal issues as the right of image). The photos will serve as the content of a publication about the bike culture in Brazil.

Grant related goals

  • Establish a conversation with locals along the way about photography, cycling and free culture, with online activity
  • Train people in the arts and bicycle communities throughout the country to upload images to Wikimedia Commons and apply them on Wikipedia

Measures of success

[edit]

Photograph and document the Brazil aboard a bicycle.

1oo% success

I've Photographed over 3oo people and collected their stories with the bike

The tricky part is archiving these images so besides the 2 hard drives ranging in luggage, we create an online repository of emergency.

The mobile internet does not work in Brazil and the connections are not always stable even so the files are not always up to date.

Feeding a repository of free images.

5o% success

The images are being placed on the private line service flickr

http://www.flickr.com/photos/96759246@N04/

But the image of the yahoo service company allows you to attach free license to published works.

The idea is to filter and attach metadata to a second moment in the repository wiki

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Projeto_Transite?

Living on the bike has many surprises and could not meet this demand at the computer.

Even so explicit that leave is one of the priorities of the project return the generated content of free and public manner.

The photos will serve as the content of a publication about the bike culture in Brazil. Copies are currently at crowdfunding.

25% success

To produce the entire project we will need about £ 7o.ooo

We raised so far £ 3o.ooo

The idea is to complete the acquisition of funds in 2o15 / 2o16

Establish a conversation with locals along the way about photography, cycling and free culture, with online activity

As can be seen in the activities session, there were occasions in different cities and states of Brazil when we met with people to promote the practice and ethics of free culture and collaboration.

Train people in the arts and bicycle communities throughout the country to upload images to Wikimedia Commons and apply them on Wikipedia

This has been harder because of the conditions and demands of the trip itself, but we keep trying and are far from over.

Lessons learned

[edit]

What lessons were learned that may help others succeed in similar projects?

- If you want to accomplish a long-term project, patience is needed.

- When your project requires spontaneous collaboration, steps for tasks and ways to help need to be explicit.

- If you rely on volunteer work, it is necessary that deadlines and requirements are also explicit.

- It is easier to articulate meetings in established networks, in the case of my project I "surf" the bike, photography and travel networks.

- People need basic training on the Internet, few understand its structures. Regarding the license to use images most do not know how intellectual works are licensed on the Internet.

What impact did the project have on WMF mission goals of Increased Reach, Increased Quality, Increased Credibility, Increased and Diversified Participation?

Reporting and documentation of expenditures

[edit]

Did you send WMF documentation of all expenses paid for with grant funds?
