Hi all, we are having a special open meeting of the WREN (Wikimedians in
Residence Exchange Network) today (Wednesday, December 8, 2021, 1700 UTC,
12 noon Eastern US) to discuss "Open GLAM as it relates to the NFT and
crypto space" which was prompted by the recent NFT auction of "Wikipedia's
First Edit" by Jimmy Wales.
We felt it was an ideal time to discuss the greater issue, and will have a
number of special folks join beyond the regular Wikimedians-in-residence
crew including Douglas McCarthy, Creative Commons representatives, and
those from the greater open GLAM community.
Those interested in the issue are welcome to join and do not need to be a
Wikimedian-in-residence. However, issues related to GLAM Wiki and
Wikimedians in Residence will be given priority. Douglas McCarthy has been
on the front lines of debating the use of NFT in the GLAM space, and this
piece is a good backgrounder:

Dear open GLAM community,
On February 25, 2020, Smithsonian Open Access <https://si.edu/openaccess>
went public making available 2.8 million 2D and 3D collections, 173-years
of staff created metadata for all records online, and interdisciplinary
research data sets all with the CC0 dedication. We are looking for four(4)
postdoc fellowships to investigate the Smithsonian’s diffusion mission with
21st-century technology. Applications are due March 20, 2020 with a start
date of September 14, 2020/
Full details and application instructions can be found here:

Please share!
Effie Kapsalis, Senior Digital Program Officer, Smithsonian
2020 James Smithson Fellowship
Theme for 2020: Open Access
The Smithsonian Institution is a trusted knowledge organization with 155
million objects reflecting culture, history, art, and science of the world.
While the Smithsonian has an active scholarly and research staff, there are
many discoveries and insights left to be made. The goal of the 2020
James Smithson
Fellowship is to help the Smithsonian in fulfilling its “diffusion” mission
with 21st century technology, to engage the world in creating new
knowledge. Post-docs interested in pursuing research and improving the
public’s access to the Smithsonian are encouraged to apply.
In no particular order, independent research through the 2020 James Smithson
Fellowship might relate but not be limited to topics such as:
- Empirical Analyses of Program Data
- Application of Machine Learning/A.I. in Cultural Organizations
- Data Improvement At-Scale
- Cultural Responsibilities in an Open Knowledge Landscape
- Accessibility Responsibilities in an Open Knowledge Landscape
- Marketing and Advertising for Public Audiences
- Artists/Designers
- K12 Teachers and Students
- University Students
- Digital Humanities Scholars
- Science Researchers
- Computer Scientists
- Solving issues in Digitization and Data Quality
- Policy Aspects of Making Collections Accessible
- Citizen Science
- Crowdsourcing Research
- The Economics of Open Knowledge
- Increasing Gender Representation in Collections
- Making Discipline Focused Research More Accessible
- Solving Environmental Challenges with Historic Scientific Data
Purpose:
The James Smithson Fellowship Program was created to offer early career
opportunities for post-doctoral researchers interested in gaining a better
understanding about the interplay between scholarship and public policy
through a Smithsonian lens. While this fellowship provides an immersion
experience working with Smithsonian researchers and relevant collections,
it also affords fellows a hands-on opportunity to explore relationships
between research and public policy through direct interaction with Smithsonian
leaders, and with policy leaders throughout the Washington, DC network.
The program is designed for a new generation of leaders, who seek an
experience that leverages both scholarly and practical expertise in an
environment of innovation like no other. The goals of the James Smithson
Fellowship Program provide fellows with the opportunity to:
- Conduct scholarly research at the Smithsonian
- Strengthen understanding of the interplay between research and public
policy
- Gain skills at leveraging research to inform conversations about
public policy
The 2020 James Smithson Fellowship Application is now OPEN
*Application Deadline: *Extended! New application deadline is 11:59 pm EDT
on Friday 3/20/2020
*Start Date: *Monday 9/14/2020
*End Date: *Friday 9/13/2021
