WEF organisators release official pictures of the last WEF under a free license

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

 Hi,

I want to relay that information published on Anthere's blog:
http://blog.anthere.org/index.php/2008/03/26/120-davos-et-les-images-libres

I have unfortunately no time do it by myself, but it would be great in 2 months to write an email to the WEF to thank them, explain who we are and give them statistics about the spread of their pictures.

If they are satisfied... it would be a good time IMHO to ask to release, under a free license, pictures from the old meetings. To remember, the WEF has been existing since almost 40 years.

regards

Emmanuel

well - just look after page 12 - there are pictures from several years
at flickr, even a lot of b/w images.

I didn't check if there are pictures from every year, but they are a lot.

Very nice pictures.

See:

Is there a possibility to do a mass upload? I think, we can create a
Commons Category "World Economic Forum 2007" with all those images.

sy, Petar
