The Wikimania people were nice enough to prioritize the editing of David
Ferriero's closing plenary speech at Wikimania so that he could embed it in
his blog post which was published today. As a result, it's actually the
only official video from Wikimania available yet! See:

)
I thought people on this list would be interested to view it, if you didn't
get a chance to see it in person, and also to share and quote from it even
if you did. It's all about putting our GLAM work in the context of ongoing
trends in the cultural sector, and it was well-received by the live
audience (though the cheering is a bit muted in the video). The full text
will go up at archives.gov soon
(here<http://www.archives.gov/about/speeches/ferriero/index.html>

I've been having some luck with the Congressional Cemetery QR code
project. I posted 60 codes there just before July 1. 25 Wikipedians
had a group tour of the Cemetery during Wikimania.
Please see the news story on ABC ch 7 in Washington, July 17, 2012 at

Some folks will notice that Ch. 7 credited me as being the founder of
the Wikipedia QR Code project. My apologies to Roger Bamkin and
Terence Eden.
All the best,

Hello all,
Due to some server hiccups, we have moved the North American email list to
the WMF servers.
During this process, we changed the name of the list to GLAM-US. (This is
merely for succinctness and does not in any way alter the scope of hte list
- which is US, Canada, Mexico, or really anyone.)
The new email you should add to your contacts is: *
glam-us(a)lists.wikimedia.org*
For further information, or to change your settings, you can go here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/options/glam-us/
You are already subscribed to this new list, but in doing so your password
may have been changed to a new auto-generated one. You can update your
password at the above link.
I'm sorry if this causes any inconvenience. Please let me know if you have
any issues or questions!
Many thanks,
Lori
