Getty's James Cuno: Advocate for Open Content
by Lori Phillips 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Hello all, I was very excited to see this blog post come out of the Getty today, from CEO James Cuno, who is both a polarizing and respected force in the museum world. In the U.S. we've been trying to encourage the Getty to release their Vocabularies into the public domain for years. In my last effort, I had the Dallas Museum of Art's Rob Stein tell me he would be sure to "strongly encourage" this as soon as he could, because there was really no reason why it shouldn't be. So that is a great win for us, in addition to the fact that the Getty is a new proponent and advocate for open culture in general. http://blogs.getty.edu/iris/open-content-an-idea-whose-time-has-come/ I'm also personally quite proud that the recent Horizon Report: Museum Edition was cited as his rationale, thanks to the fact that Open Content was included as a near-term horizon in the 2012 report. We worked hard to get that included this year, since Open Content has been on the bubble in past Horizon Reports. It's also exciting to see the Walters listed first among Cuno's listing of forward thinking institutions in the US who have paved the way for open culture. This blog should prove useful for those still needing convincing - enjoy!

04 Aug '13

Hello all, We will not have a GLAM-Wiki GLAMout this month due to many folks traveling for Wikimania. Please help us make the September GLAMout the best it can be! We've had some great updates and conversations since we started in May. It's important to us that the GLAMouts be global. While it's hosted by the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium, it's meant for everyone to participate. Share your ideas for topics and sign up to present or watch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/GLAMout Thanks and happy Wikimania to those who are able to attend!
