Hey Dominic,
Nice to have met you in person last week.
Would it be possible to have links to Ferriero speech & video on the GLAM
site at
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM ? I can imagine that his
quotation of that blogger, "If Wikipedia is good enough for the Archivist
of the United States, it should be good enough for you" would be a strong
inducement for institutions thinking of participating in GLAM activities.
All the best,
Bob

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
