Today I was invited to an event called #glamderby (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) - it was a backstage tour of Derby Museums aimed at sharing the expertise of cultural institutions with Wikipedia editors. As I am neither a cultural institution or a Wikipedia editor, I was there to help photoblog and amplify the events of the day.

If you follow me on twitter, you may of been annoyed by the bombardment of TwitPic's appearing in your stream. If you missed them, then they can be found above (and here on Picasa for Wikipedia use). The day was a real eye opener to the gap between the people with cultural and historical material and the people that would like to document it 'free' online. The Derby Museum is free to visit, so there is a fine line in what information and imagery can be provided to Wikipedia. The event today answered copyright questions and provided access to material with experts sharing their knowledge of the exhibits. I think we may see many new Wikipedia articles appearing soon.

The main focus was on the introduction of QR Codes 'stuck' on the exhibits and the ability for anyone with a smart phone to scan the code and get information on the item in their phone's native language. This is a real game changer for Museums and Galleries - think about it.

I don't need to ramble on here about the project as there are already lots of Wikipedia articles:

Wikipedia:GLAM/Derby

Derby Backstage Pass

QRpedia - Language-detecting & mobile-friendly Wikipedia QR codes

Also, I am pleased to say I met some more geeks today ... YAY!

Today we went inside Derby Cathedral. It's impressive and right on our doorstep. Years ago, my wife used to work there typing prayers (on a typewriter).

Peter Gould (Master of the Music) was playing the Cathedral's Compton Organ which is over 70 years old.

The Derby CAMRA 10th Winter Beer Festival is NOW ON (Thursday 24th - Saturday 26th February 2011). This year it's at the Derby College’s Roundhouse campus - the once derelict grade II listed building. I will update this post with media from the day.

To get the full information, visit the dedicated website for the festival: http://www.derbywinterbeerfestival.co.uk.

The Round House Building in Derby

The Winter Beer Festival also co-insides with the re-launch of the Derby CAMRA website, which I designed and am the webmaster. The site is fully CMS driven and many of the Derby CAMRA volunteers will have access to update the different areas of the site. My company Fish Media created, run and host the site as our contribution to the Campaign for Real Ale in Derby.

Here is the latest BEER LIST:

I have also set up a twitter invite through Tweetvite to get a group of us together for the Festival on the Saturday, you can RSVP here: http://tweetvite.com/event/WinterBeer

6This weekend was Derby Feste 2010, and we especially love watching Close Act do their stuff. This year it was the turn of the Rebels - and they were amazing ...

MAKE WAY!
These noisy mobiles are out of control. 
They create their own path, and nothing can stand in their way. 
Traffic rules? Never heard of. 
Obstacles? They don’t care. 
Changing lanes? They don’t even know where they’re going. 
But they’re on the road, so you better stay clear…

  

Check out my Derby Feste 2009 video from last year when the 'Characters' were in town ...
