Good call Luis!

In fact we already had someone from Wikipedia Loves Art at the 5th
Communia workshop which we organised back in March:

  http://communia-project.eu/ws05

Session on public sector content and cultural heritage institutions:

        * Ben White (British Library), Digitising European Culture:
Legal Stasis?
        * Tom Moritz (Internet Archive), Full Return on Investment:
the case for open access to scientific data and information
        * Edward Betts (Open Library), One web page for every book
        * Frances Pinter (London School of Economics + Bloomsbury
Academic), Open Publishing: Working with the Commercial and Public
sectors
        * Nadia Arbach (Victoria and Albert Museum), Wikipedia Loves Art
        * Paul Gerhardt (Archives for Creativity), Creative Engagement
with Broadcast Archives
        * Mathias Schindler (Bundesarchiv image collection at
Wikimedia Deutschland), Bundesarchiv and Wikimedia Commons
        * Hilary Roberts (Imperial War Museum on Flickr Commons), The
Imperial War Museum and the Commons on Flickr Armistice Day Project

It would be great to have more on this at OKCon. I'd be particularly
be interested to hear of any evidence based studies about different
licensing models. I understand the Strategic Content Alliance (SCA)
did something along these lines...
