I'm guessing that he's referring to the attendees of a GLAM meeting that was held in Paris a few months ago and is comprehensively documented on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_European_GLAMwiki_Coordinators_meeting Yesterday, I asked the ~15 attendees of that meeting a followup question about my own work, and called them the "paris group" in that email as a shorthand. As far as I know, that's the only time the phrase has been used in a GLAM-specific context. -Liam wittylama.com <http://wittylama.com> Peace, love & metadata On 9 June 2015 at 12:15, Benoît Evellin (Trizek) &lt;bevellin(a)wikimedia.org <mailto:bevellin@wikimedia.org>> wrote: Hello Base Guessing from your first email, the "Paris group" you mention may be this mailing list hosted by Wikimédia France <http://lists.wikimedia.fr/info/paris>, which allows people living in Paris discuss about their local IRL actions (like visiting museums). This list is not a generic mailing-list, like lists hosted by WMF.

Hi, the mailing list of cultural partners "hosted by" Wikimedia CH is not a Wikimedia CH mailing list. I remember that a lot of year ago, during the Wikimedia conferences, the chapters asked to have some mailing lists to discussed themes like GLAMs. I, as member of the staff of Wikimedia CH, don't have access. The best is to ask to the administrators of the mailing list if it is still alive.
