Commons:Open House

Open House is a series of international events originating in London where for one weekend a year buildings are open to the public to visit. This page is to help Wikimedia Commons users participate in photographing the buildings that are opened to the public as part of the Open House events.

Uploading photographs

The root category is Category:Photographs taken during Open House. Within that, create a city and year subcategories.

Todo

1. Maintain the calendar - see openhouseworldwide.org
2. Setup categories and templates
3. For future events, set up a planning page where we list the buildings, match them up to Commons categories (and Wikipedia pages, Wikidata items etc.) and Wikimedians mark which buildings they are planning to go to.
4.  Promote this initiative to people who may be keen on participating.
5. Start Commons:Open House/Copyright – document any copyright-related issues (non-permanent displays of artwork) and list any deletion requests regarding temporarily open buildings.
