I’d expect something above the median NZ salary for the education and technical skills it requires though.

Apparently anyone can upload a pic of a car just sitting there in public, so the terrible parking becomes the official photo.

I had no idea, but now I have the warm glow of collective action.

The closest would be some of the sketchnotes I’ve seen or done. Legible lettering would be the hardest part unless one were a professional. Assembling a poster from printed components would hearken back to olden times, when all posters were done like that.

Just an affordable passenger service from Christchurch to Hokitika would make an enormous difference to the economy of the West Coast.

Alex will probably go through the draft article (declined twice) and try to find references that aren’t by Project Drawdown itself and are specifically about it, not the founder or his book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:P...

Which is all well-explained at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

“Notability” means mainstream media (not blogs) coverage of your org (not its reports) – when founded, staff, hq, budget, history, controversies. A quick search found a Forbes article, and that’s all. We’d want half a dozen sources to summarize in an article. You will have media clippings I hope!

I see on LinkedIn that Alex Stinson, a very experienced editor who’s worked on climate change, has offered to help.

Nope, this dates from a few years back, half the issues are still up, and the others are in the Internet Archive so already ingested.

In the ‘90s I was teaching IT skills to refugees—Balkan war, Ukraine, Russia, Christians from Iraq—often engineers, lawyers, one a former submarine officer, who had chucked it all in to come here and start again, and be taught MS Word by some kid who had no idea what they’d suffered.

I have written to the museum to ask why, and encourage everyone else to do so at info@canterburymuseum.com. Feel free to also criticise the site for not being mobile-friendly, have stupid banner previews, etc. If they’re going to close the museum for years, they’d better have a great website!

That’s a nice overview. And there’s a post from just last week making the same points I’ve made above. www.laneneave.co.nz/news-events/...

The Copyright Trap for Creators in New ZealandCopyright is not always clear cut, especially when creating content or works "on commission" in New Zealand. Find out more.www.laneneave.co.nz

Because it was (and still is). The photographer can ask to contract out of that, but the client doesn’t have to accept it.

Most but *definitely not all* professional photographers seem to have it sorted now. But I’m dealing with photo shoots from yesterday to 20 or 30 years ago, and any paperwork or agreements are lost in the mists of time.

And yet in my experience working with © owners for 6 years this is absolutely standard: handshakes the norm and written contracts unusual.

For example if you were to invite a bunch of impoverished artists to your town for a “Street Art Festival” and commission a wall each, paying them in beer/pizza/paint, then congratulations! You’re now the copyright owner of a nice art collection, and can start making merch.

To be clear, under the NZ Copyright Act 1994, if you make art or take photos for someone as part of your job OR because they offer to recompense you, this is a commissioned work, and THEY OWN THE COPYRIGHT NOT YOU. (This will change when Act gets updated, soonish.)

Also delighted the @lrb.co.uk is having a Bluesky moment.

I’d also be keen to know.
