Today in the Flickr Commons group, the Powerhouse Museum’s Paula Bray announced Common Ground, an international celebration of the Commons to be held at Commons institutions, October 2-3, with a slideshow of Commons photos selected by you and me, the Commons community.
Paula says:
Common Ground is a global meet up celebrating the Commons on Flickr to be held by as many of the institutions in the Commons. This will consist of a projection onto the participating institutions building at night (or suitable day-time location) using a slideshow of content from the Commons on Flickr accounts that is curated by you, our community. This will be hosted on the weekend of 2nd – 3rd October across the globe (albeit time-differences). Making the Flickr Commons go live through a connected slideshow. You will get to meet the staff behind the Commons and we will get to know you.
So book that date – October 2-3, 2009 – and keep your eyes on this topic for announcements from Commons institutions that will be hosting Common Ground gatherings.
Want to make sure you’ll see some of your favourites at Common Ground? Vote!
Paula explains how you can help select the 20-25 images from each Commons collection that will be in the slideshow:
1-Sign on using your flickr credentials and go to a random Commons partner.
2-Click on an image to vote, or the icon in the lower-left to open via flickr.
3-The page will load with the next partner. Repeat Step 2!
Voting closed September 9.
See you – and what you love in the Commons – there!
