During March, GLAM Indonesia opened Mini Grants for GLAM institutions and individuals to submit their proposals for up to 10 million IDR (about 610 EUR) grants. Several dozens proposals were submitted and in April, we announced three of them received funding from WMID.

  1. Museum Musik Indonesia (Indonesian Music Museum) proposed to create a book with the stories of their 20 best collections and would be uploaded to Commons.
  2. Sanggar Seni Karawitan Laras Siwi (Laras Siwi Karawitan Art Studio) proposed to organize a workshop of Karawitan (a type of traditional music with gamelan originating from Java) and document them for Commons.
  3. Mandailing Manuscript Digitalization proposed to digitized rare Mandailing (of North Sumatra) manuscripts and upload them to Commons.

The projects will start in May. Stay tuned for the results in the next reports!

In our ISA Campaign this semester, we chose Wiki Cinta Alam (Wiki Loves Earth) pictures of 2022. Wikimedia Commons has more than 1.035 WLE pictures from Indonesia, but after the first day of the event, we were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the participants, so we quickly decided to add more pictures to be tagged with Structured Data, from WLE Indonesia 2021 and 2017 for a total of 4.847 images.

The 7-days-long campaign resulted in a record number of contributions with more than 45 thousands new structured data added to 4.847 images (at the time of the closing, it reaches 64 thousands at the time of this report is written) by 24 participants. It was twice as much contributions as last Christmas' campaign. You can see the most used elements in this pretty infographics, with sky, cloud, tree, leaf, and forest being the most common elements in the pictures.

Feel free to browse through the thousands of fascinating pictures from this collection, and even add some descriptions yourselves here! Thank you for all the participants, and especially the top three contributors who contributed in combination 25 thousand descriptions!

Wikisource Online Workshop

The Indonesian Wikisource Community held an online workshop in the end of April with 13 participants, and they proofread the book s:id:Indeks:Tata Bahasa Minangkabau.pdf that was made available by the Balai Bahasa Provinsi Sumatera Barat digitization project with GLAM Indonesia.
