Hello Mike & others,
Each month a newsletter is send out about what activities and projects were active in the
past month in relationship to GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums). The
newsletter is called 'This Month in GLAM' and is send out on various ways to the
Wikimedia community, enthousiasts and more. It is good to tell our own Wikimedia community
and the public what activities we do regarding GLAM, as this may help other institutions
participate in projects with Wikimedia and for volunteers to help out. For the newsletter
about the past month the UK is missing, you mentioned in the e-mail something interesting.
Is it possible that you write about it for the newsletter? Or do you know who I can ask to
write about it? Thanks! (Deadline of the April edition is 8 May 18:00 UTC, I know it is
short term but I hope something is possible.) You can start writing at the page
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom . If you wish to be informed
by
e-mail next time, please write me.
Greetings,
Romaine

Congratulations, Andy.
Just to avoid any potential misunderstandings here, can I point out that this isn't a
WMUK-supported WiR position, i.e. WMUK hasn't been involved in establishing or running
this WiR position, and there's no contract between WMUK and the institution (as there
is e.g. with TWAM and the Science Museum using an agreement like that at
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Example_WiR_agreement.pdf ). This is something that
Andy's doing as an individual.
Thanks,Mike

Excellent Andy, please bug me to call in and see the Gallery - I'm bound to forget
otherwise.
