- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
Osmosis has been working with James Heilman of WikiProject: Medicine over the past year to upload over 200 Creative Commons licensed videos to Wikimedia and relevant Wikipedia articles. We've also translated over 300 subtitles into 21 different languages thanks to our partnership with Translators Without Borders. Our videos collectively receive over 600,000 views per month from Wikimedia alone, and another 1.5 million views through our YouTube channel. This presentation will examine the development process of the videos, challenges our content has faced, and how the Wikipedia community has contributed to development and dissemination of the videos.
