(If you're on the Cultural Partners list you might already have heard about this, apologies if so)
In a few weeks time Wikimedia UK will be holding, jointly with JISC, a World War I editathon. The aim of this is to bring academics who study the War together with Wikimedians who write (mainly) Wikipedia articles. We have some great people from both communities coming along (and there is still space for more, if you're interested, jump in!)
As it involves university lecturers it's pretty clearly education-relevant, though in fact I think it's more closely modelled on the British Museum Hoxne Hoard collaboration than anything else.
The favour I need to ask is that while I have academics in the room I should probably talk at least a very little bit about how the Education Programme has worked in the US and elsewhere - is there a one page summary anywhere that I can work in while I'm talking about more military history-focused stuff?

Many thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Sounds like a great event! Here's the one pager I use for the program. Hope this helps.

LiAnna, that 72% figure paragraph is so great. Why not cite it?

Hi LiAnna
Your one pager fact sheet is GREAT! Some of what you mentioned is similar to the reasons I mentioned in the guide I wrote in Greek, but we don't have a document with all arguments gathered on the same page! I was wondering... have you released it under a CC license? So I could translate it into Greek and redistribute:)

Hello all,
I'll be tweeting this out of @glamwiki today. If there's a specific date closer to the time that you'd like me to tweet again, let me know.
Chris, I didn't see this on the cultural partners list - or on the new public GLAM list ( *glam@lists.wikimedia.org * ) though I may have just missed it. If it hasn't been sent there - I strongly encourage that you do!
LiAnna, is the Global Ed one-pager on Commons yet? I'd love to add it to the GLAM-Wiki Bookshelf. [1]
Great event and great resource! : )
Best, Lori

N'thing the request for the one-pager to be an explicitly CC licensed file. I'm working in Scribus on flyers for the EduWiki conference, and it would be good to both have this information on the obverse of the flyer and to say the whole flyer was an open educational resource.

Oops, thanks for the nudge, Martin! I had that on my to-do list but it had slipped off... here is the file on Commons:
