Hi all,
There are two days left for submissions for Wikimania panels or sessions.
Has anyone submitted or is anyone planning on submitting sessions on their
GLAM work, or might folks be interested in making a WREN panel to discuss
the last year's worth of learnings, and also do some evangelism for WREN?
A very regrettable thing for this year's Wikimania is that the submissions
are not public. That makes it impossible to figure out what other people
are submitting or what they are thinking. So if you have any sessions you
are proposing, do share them here. Or we can combine forces on a session.
Some thoughts:
1. From the Smithsonian side, we will likely submit one about the American
Women's History Initiative and summing up our edit-a-thon and other
activities - what we learned, what techniques have worked, and plans for
the future.
2. GLAM tools and best practices - Incorporating SDC into the workflow,
best tools for 2022? Might this be a session of interest for folks to
collaborate on?
3. We've had a GLAM Culture Crawl day in the past, where we have training
sessions and discussions oriented towards teaching GLAMs new to wiki
contribution. Might this be an interesting thing to propose?
Any other ideas welcome.

Dear All -
Last December 6th special meeting event
on Wikipedia and NFT with a few invited guests
made me think we could do meeting that are relevant
beyond our immediate scope and be more visible...
...but also last week I was almost topic-banned
on HR Wikipedia (Croatian) as none of the Admins knew
what Wikimedian in Residence is and were thinking
it is either paid editing or problematic self-promotion
(when I was actually unemployed :-)))
So after a successful event and a monthly HR drama,
I am thinking what can we do better to increase
WiR and WREN visibility on Wikipedia and Wikimedia.
For people coming from most of the arts the notion of
artist-in-residence is super familiar and easy to relate to,
but average Wikipedian (if there is such thing)
has very few chances to come across this term
as well as to grasp what Wikimedian in Residence is.
Only 27 Wikipedia instances have articles on WiRs
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3809586
What could be good strategies to change that?
15 years ago (so we missed it by a week)
on December 13, 2006 we got this text as a start
http://original-research.blogspot.com/2006/12/wikipedian-in-residence-propo…
Maybe we can draft something short quickly today
and just pass it on later in the day to Wikimedia-L
and potentially to the DIFF Blog of WMF?
Elsewhere?
Best Z
Hi Flo & all,
I would be very interested in collaborating on a shared proposal to
Wikimania this year. A panel seems like a great idea.
I have not been very involved on the listserv and with the WREN group
(apologies!), but as a refresher, I work with the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative
to engage scholars in writing studies (i.e. rhetoric, composition,
technical communication, literacy, and language studies) to edit Wikipedia
as a form of public scholarship.
Cheers,
Savannah
Hi Florence and all,
I will also not be able to attend, but happy to collaborate in an online
format. Thanks for organizing!
Cheers,
Savannah

Thank you Wikimedia Australia for doing it!
Thank you Julia for adding it to MS2023 Forum,
though it was not the summary made exclusively for it.
Best Z.
