Hi everyone,
I want to share this message with you. It is from Franziska Putz, Movement
Advocacy Manager at the Foundation.
This team is trying to map all the copyright advocacy work that has ever
happened in the Wikimedia movement. However, they are having a hard time
finding more examples and contacts in the US. Maybe groups, GLAM
institutions, or even individual Wikimedians in this mailing list can help
them?
Thank you so much!
Best,
Giovanna F.

*Subject:* Wikimedians & copyright campaigns? Crowdsourcing!
Hi all,
I'm Ziski from the Wikimedia Foundation's Global Advocacy team. I'm
reaching out about a new project that we launched to document copyright
advocacy initiatives across the Wikimedia movement.
*What: *We are trying to map the copyright advocacy work that Wikimedians
have conducted since roughly 2016. Full project details here
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/02/help-wikimedia-map-your-efforts-to-im…>
.
*Why: *This project will help us learn about our movement’s shared
copyright public policy priorities, the common obstacles that communities
face, and the campaign materials (as well as other resources) that
Wikimedians have created or are creating as part of these advocacy efforts.
We'll also compile and share all of the content folks have created as part
of their campaigns - infographics, public comments, etc.
Have you worked with Wikimedians to change copyright public policy? If yes,
please get in touch! Otherwise, please let us know who else we should
contact.
Hope to hear from you,
Ziski

can collect enough funding). *We are taking the input in this survey very
seriously*.
*Please also forward this to other Wikimedians, volunteers, and to your
GLAM partners. *
You can also still help translate the survey questions to your language;

Hi all, we are having a special open meeting of the WREN (Wikimedians in
Residence Exchange Network) today (Wednesday, December 8, 2021, 1700 UTC,
12 noon Eastern US) to discuss "Open GLAM as it relates to the NFT and
crypto space" which was prompted by the recent NFT auction of "Wikipedia's
First Edit" by Jimmy Wales.
We felt it was an ideal time to discuss the greater issue, and will have a
number of special folks join beyond the regular Wikimedians-in-residence
crew including Douglas McCarthy, Creative Commons representatives, and
those from the greater open GLAM community.
Those interested in the issue are welcome to join and do not need to be a
Wikimedian-in-residence. However, issues related to GLAM Wiki and
Wikimedians in Residence will be given priority. Douglas McCarthy has been
on the front lines of debating the use of NFT in the GLAM space, and this
piece is a good backgrounder:
