Add links
From Wikimania

The Commons Video Meetup is an opportunity to discuss all things Video within our movement.

This meetup aligns with Wikimania 2024’s spirit “The Collaboration of the Open” by focusing on the community collective efforts to promote and develop free and open video content within the Wikimedia projects. Aside from that session will contribute to this theme by:

  • Showcasing Collaborative Efforts: Highlighting the progress made since the last discussion in Wikimania 2017 through community engagement and technological advancements in video on Wikimedia platforms.
  • Encouraging Open Dialogue: Facilitating discussions on recent topics from the Wikimedia-l mailing list, promoting transparency and community involvement.
  • Fostering Inclusivity: Seeking to include diverse perspectives from Wikimedians active in video content upload, the technical community, Wikimedia Foundation and Commons users engaged in watching/ reusing videos.

By addressing these points, this session will embody the spirit of open collaboration that is central to Wikimania 2024, contributing to the larger open movement of free knowledge sharing.

[edit | edit source]

January 1, 2025 will be when 1929 American films enter the U.S. public domain. 1929 was the last year in which silent films would comprise a major amount of Hollywood films, as sound films or talkies would be ascendant. Musicals and crime films would both become popular genres. Major films include: The Cocoanuts, The Broadway Melody, Show Boat. European films whose last surviving author died in 1954 will enter the EU public domain. One example is the seminal 1895 short film L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat by Auguste Lumière (1862–1954) and Louis Lumière (1864–1948). How will we celebrate Public Domain Day 2025?
