Did you end up planning anything for that weekend?

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.

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!

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:

Thanks and happy Wikimania to those who are able to attend!
Lori
