Fae,
That is awesome, and a great reminder to me of all the good things
about Wikipedia! I love how everyone who has written about this just
has to provide a link to one of the pictures. They really are
lusciously beautiful - hi res, full color, and unusual subjects, which
is exactly what the long tail of Wikipedia articles is all about.
I can't wait until it's all done, thanks
Jane

Hi all,
Earlier this afternoon we apparently filled up our quota of tickets for
GLAM-Wiki; if you try and register on eventbrite, you'll be told we're sold
out.
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI_2013
I am fairly sure we are not actually full and we will be able to release
more tickets, but it'll take us a couple of days to sort out - both
tomorrow and Monday are public holidays here in the UK, so most of the
organisers have already gone on holiday, and we won't be able to check
numbers with the venue until Tuesday at the earliest. I recommend you sign
up on the waitlist and we'll notify you when tickets are available again.
If you have already made arrangements to come to GLAM-Wiki (or you're a
speaker...) but have not yet registered, please don't panic! Drop me an
email and I'll make sure it's sorted out.
Apologies for the inconvenience,
- Andrew.

Hello all,
What happened in GLAM in March?
Please tell us about it! We are very interesting to know!
Certainly in regards with the upcoming GLAM-WIKI at 12 - 14 April in London.
Can you write about it for your country?
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom
In this way we have some sort of public log for our communities and encourage others to participate and donate material.
If your country isn't mentioned on the page, you can always add it to: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/March_2013/Contents
Please add coming GLAM activities on: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Events/April_2013
If anyone needs help/explanation about the newsletter, please ask! You can also ask me in London.
For those who are in London: I am looking forward to meet!
Thanks & greetings!
Romaine
