Abstract (please use no less than 300 words to describe your proposal)
Following a strong involvement with the Backstage Pass at the British Museum in June 2010 I decided to see if this model of co-operation could be applied to a smaller museum. What are the advantages to a small museum of collaboration? How do you change the barriers to partnership? In January 2011, Wikimedia UK decided to collaborate with Derby Museums in a move that was welcomed by Jimmy Wales. By the time the Backstage Pass happened in April we had managed two policy changes in the museum; installed QR codes; written Wikipedia articles, translated the Derby and Museum page into a dozen languages. By the day of the pass we had removed the monolingual QR codes and installed the new Multi-lingual QRpedia codes developed by the author and Terence Eden. (We had also seen the main contact person in the museum made redundant.) The collaboration continues with a multi-lingual competition that has been funded by Derby Museums with a closing date in September. How did we change? How and why did a small museum create more change?
Did we crowdsource a thousand articles and translations? You can still help - Who will submit an article during Wikimania? ... and in what language?
Have you loaded a QR Code reader ready for the talk? Try it on the QR code shown - the url is for the Indonesian version - but try it and see what happens!
