|Project Title=Colombian Bicenntenial in Wikipedia
|applicants=Fundaciòn Karisma, Carolina Botero,
|contact person=Carolina Botero
|coordinator=Carolina Botero
|start date=2010/08/01
|end date=2011/07/31
|Affiliation=Patricio Lorente (Wikimedia Argentina)
|Mainurl=www.karisma.org.co
|Affiliated=No
|description=This year many iberomerican countries celebrate the bicentennial of their independence and despite the passing of time (for public domain purposes), it is still difficult to access content related to these events.

The information that circulates is soon rendered obsolete due to technology, and very little of it circulates on the most popular internet channels, thus enjoying some access.

This project seeks to make use of Wikipedia as the most popular content platform on the Internet, as is being done in Argentina
http://www.wikimedia.org.ar/wiki/Bicentenario, which will articulate Colombian content within the bicentennial rubrik and stemming from educational and public initiatives that have started circulating educational resources online that may be reused for teaching and learning.
|output=The end product will be the integration of materials within the Wikimedia projects, similar to that conducted by the Asociación Civil Wikimedia Argentina (Argentinian Civil Wikimedia Association), integrating content with text, images, audio recordings, etc. that could thus circulate better and easier.
Wikipedia users, interested in Colombian history, educators, researchers, students, etc.
The content added to the Wikimedia project benefits from the site's broad audience, from the growing community that obtains information and reuses its content, its clarity and legal certainty associated with the site.

|community=Wikipedia users, interested in Colombian history, educators, researchers, students, etc.
The content added to the Wikimedia project (especially the spanish speaking sites) benefits from the site's broad audience, from the growing community that obtains information and reuses its content, its clarity and legal certainty associated with the site.
|community relationship=Karisma is an affiliate of Creative Commons and active promoter of the Wikimedia projects in Colombia.

Through its work in the educational sector Karisma has developed bicentennial-related content that can contribute to the project, and is aware of several public and private initiatives that it can articulate as open content online, migrating information to new content platforms.

Carolina Botero is active Co-leader of Creative Commons in Colombia involved on educational projects.
|measurement=Ways to measure:
1. Quantity of contents included in the Wikimedia projects with proper analysis
2. Multiple sources
3. Number of visits to content, edits, etc.
|participants=The core group would be 3 people including Laura Martinez a commited librarian with expertise on information management. We expect to encourage a community of volunteers to be added to this core group and to broaden the content base.
|impact=Wikimedia projects are currently in the top of the "commons" content providers in the web regarding "free" and "open" content (licensed and under public domain). Without any doubt the platform shares the mision and philosophy of Creative Commons regarding the "commons" and by doing so will increase their impact.
|tech needs=No special skills or expertise are required different from those that hundreds of wikipedians have and can be developed by almost anyone.
|challenges=The most important challeges are:
1. To be able to properly identify contents that are on the public domain or can be licensed under ccbysa. We will rely on the expertise of Karisma`s staff and on the fact that the most interesting material is already more than 150 years old.
2. The scalability of the project depends on the possibility of institutions deciding to contribute this material. Since most of them are public or educational related institutions we are confident "open" and "free" speech can be good arguments.
|sustainability=The project will be feed mainly on content provided by private institutions related to the educational sector, or public institutions such as libraries and museums. We believe this can turn out to be a worthwhile project for them and their objectives, Karisma will be able to join efforts with them to provide sustainability to the project.
|scalability=This project scalability depends first on the wikimedia platform. The high interactivity of the platform allows different institutions and individuals to provide materials as the main resource. The project can be promoted also by special networks such as www.eduteka.org inside the educational sector promoting a remix culture
|resource needs=There are 2 possible means of support; the first one is the financial support that will allow the startup of the project by showing others the possibilities and impact of an open decision, and the second is to promote the project in CC`s networks to increase its impact
|communication=Currently the communication channels are:
* E-mail
* Website
* Academic Events
* Social Networks
