Dear GLAMers,
Seems like I haven't written in this list for ages, so am really excited to
share some good news: *Wikimedia Israel (WMIL) has announced that it will
be hosting the 2018 international GLAM-WIKI conference! *
Though we are just in the first stages of organizing, it's clear to us that
in order to make this a successful event, the conference program should
focus on the topics and priorities that are important to the GLAM
community, namely -- you! So at this point, *you can help us by **filling
out this short survey*
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSds8yfSH5c09IhJ6ZEPQpyWh-N6fDbKHeajEtWZKlhvMbZ4rw/viewform>
and letting us know what you find important and what you'd like to see in
such a conference.
There will be a proper sessions submission phase later on, but for now,
having a broad understanding of general topics that are of interest to this
community is helpful to WMIL, as well as the various charities we have
applied to in order to make this conference a reality.
I'm sure you have lots of questions and we'll do our best to answer them
and give some more info soon, but for now filling out the survey is the
best way forward.
Please feel free to contact me here or privately if you have any other
questions.
Cheers,
Shani Evenstein
on behalf of the 2018 GLAM-Wiki Conference organizing team.
PS -- CCed are Michal Lester, our ED, and Keren Shatzman, one of WMIL's
staff members, who is part of the organizing team.
