Hi everyone,
It's your monthly email - the March GLAMout will be next Friday! Please tune in at 12pm-1pm Pacific Time (3pm-4pm ET | 19-20h UTC). Right now the agenda is wide open and I encourage anyone who has something to share to sign up, and also volunteer to run the GLAMout if you're inclined (I'm available if no one else is but would also be fine with turning it over to someone else).

What is the GLAMout? It's a monthly online video-chat (using Google+ Hangouts) where cultural professionals, Wikimedians, or any interested parties can learn and chat about GLAM activities. The GLAMout is currently hosted by the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium. While the Google Hangout is limited to those presenting, anyone is welcome to view on YouTube.
Thanks and hope to see you online!

Hi everyone,
The February GLAMout is now available on YouTube.

For right now these are mostly under my YouTube account - if someone has the time and energy to move them somewhere else, please let me know (as long as it doesn't take a lot on my end!). I know there's a "better" way to share these, but my energy seems best spent in organizing and executing, not in follow up! I enjoy these conversations very much as a way to hear what is happening in the GLAM US Wiki community, which it turns out is quite a bit!

This month is a little more organized and I actually have a YouTube link to share ahead of time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8szdHJkF928 You can use the #glamwiki hashtag on Twitter or the Q&A tool in YouTube (which I believe should be available once the event starts).
Thanks and hope to see you online!

Hello all,
If you are located in or near Austin, TX, or know of a Wikipedian who is,
could you please email me off-list? I can further dig for folks on-wiki,
but wanted to check here first. We have a geographically-dependent request.
: )
Thanks so much!
Lori

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that the GLAMout will be held this Friday. We have a few
topics in mind but add yours to the list for this month or under future
topics!

We're considering adding an "upload to wikimedia commons" button for
suitably-licensed images on our site, and am wondering where the API for
this is documented, and/or if we need to go through an approval process to
have our code allowed to do this. The closest similar thing I can think of
is the Wikimedia Commons app (for ios or android) where you set it up once
with your username and password, and then it lets you upload images very
easily from your phone.
Of course, in this case, it wouldn't be the reader's own work, so there'd
have to be some extra metadata we sent along.
Anyway, I can't seem to find the information I need. The app page is
here, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Apps/Commons/Support, but there is no
link to the source code -- I'd have thought that it would be open source.
The Commons API pages I can find (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:API,
http://tools.wmflabs.org/magnus-toolserver/commonsapi.php,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:API/MediaWiki) only describe the
read-only side.
Something else I'm not sure about: would the images be uploaded via the
individual user's account, or through our institution's account on Commons?
While I write this, I realize that there is another issue -- we would want
to keep track of which images have been uploaded already, and in those
cases, the button, rather than causing the upload, should take the user to
the already-uploaded image page. Is anyone else doing something like this?
Can anyone offer some pointers?
Thanks!
