(Updated to add information on the art installation and event tags.)

For all of those going to Burning Man this year, you can now tag your photos on Flickr and have them show up on the Burning Man Earth pages for theme camps, events, and art installations.

How to:

It’s easy to do, the tag formats are:

  • Theme camp: burningman:camp=
  • Art installation: burningman:art=
  • Event: burningman:event=

To get the codes just check out the Burning Man Earth pages for Theme Camps, Art Installations, and Events where your images will soon appear. You can see the codes at the end of the URLs and on the page for each camp, installation and event.

For Example:

If you have pictures of the Center Camp Cafe and want to share them with people visiting that page on Burning Man Earth, you would tag a photo: burningman:camp=2399 (see 2399 in the URL for Center Camp Cafe.) After it’s tagged and uploaded, the image should show on the Burning Man page within a few minutes.

More info:

To learn more about the Burning Man Earth project and all the exciting things they are doing with the new Burning Man API, iPhone app, and more, check out their site, this article at O’Reilly Radar or visit their camp when you get to the playa.

To learn more about machine tags check out our FAQ.

And one last Burner’s note, when uploading and tagging your pictures, please take a moment to flag them with the appropriate safety level as well. Have fun! :)

No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength. – Jack Kerouac

Common Ground 2009

Step right up! You’re all invited to a new global event, Common Ground, the first community curated meet-up of The Commons fans! Hosted by some of the amazing institutions that make up The Commons on Flickr, these meet-ups will take place around the world… and you can help make it happen.

Common Ground 2009

What is Common Ground?

Common Ground is a global meet-up celebrating and sponsored by many of the institutions within the Commons on Flickr. This event will consist of a projection onto the participating Commons institution’s building at night (or suitable day-time location) using a slideshow of content from The Commons that is curated by you, our community (Yay Flickrverse!). This event takes place on October 2nd and 3rd, 2009, across the globe.

Making The Commons on Flickr go live through a connected slideshow, you will get to participate in the world’s first crowd-sourced curation of publicly held archives, released with No Known Copyright Restrictions!

Where can I go to see the slideshow?

Each participating institution will post details on their event in this discussion thread in the Flickr Commons group. To discuss this unique event, plan your participation, and even offer to host an event, please check in there.

How can I help?

Visit the Common Ground Curation Center to choose your favorite Commons images for the slideshow. Every Commons’ institution will be represented in the slideshow, with the choices selected by you, the Flickrverse.

Where can I learn more about The Commons?

The Commons is a program with two main objectives: To increase access to publicly-held photography collections and to provide a way for the general public to contribute information and knowledge to these collections.
