Does this list exist anywhere yet? I think it's a great idea for people doing this work, because it's an easy way to see what other people are doing and develop your new ideas.
But I also think it would help me. I was looking for such a list (with dates) a few months ago when a Tech Ops project stopped all editing for ~30 minutes twice in the same week for a major maintenance activity. You can easily understand how a 30-minute outage would ruin a class presentation, if they happen at the same time. But there's no central calendar for either Edu or GLAM projects, so I didn't know who could be affected.
Speaking of which: A similar pair of maintenance-related outages may happen in October or November. Planning has just begun, and the dates are unknown. Announcements will be made via http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News.

Thanks everyone. I might suggest that we keep a centralized list of GLAM+STEM and Education projects, probably on the Outreach wiki, to facilitate awareness and communication. As far as I know, we currently have no easy way to figure out what projects are planned, are happening, or have happened. These don't need to be elaborate reports; a simple list of locations and dates with links to the project pages would be great.
Alex, is this something that you and Tighe could look into coordinating?
Thanks,
Pine
It used to exist on the outreach wiki in an infobox. But that was several years ago. As I recall the format was changed by a pair of German editors.
