Visiting Chicago
by Andy Mabbett 18 May '14

18 May '14

I'll be visiting Chicago on 20-25 May, and have some free time then. Are there any GLAM events in that period, anyone at a GLAM I should meet, or is there anyone who'd like to meet for coffee/ beer? I'd be happy to chat about my Wikipedia Residences in the UK; QRpedia, or other activities. I'd also like to meet a local birder, who can help me identify the birds I see there! -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

by Alex Stinson 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hi all, I am going to reach out to the World War I museum in Kansas City to try to follow up on Wikimedia UK's call for "WWI and Dissent" editathons in November. Does anyone on the list serv have a recommendation on who I should talk to? My graduate program has a graduate working in their grant writing staff right now, so I am going to see if she has any recommendations as well. Alex Stinson

WikiConference USA - almost here!
by Pharos 06 May '14

06 May '14

I am very pleased to announce that WikiConference USA is less than 30 days away! Over the last few months, Wikimedia NYC and Wikimedia DC have been collecting curated submissions on a diversity of wiki and free/open knowledge-related topics (with tracks on Community, Tech, Outreach, GLAM, Education), and recruited some excellent keynote speakers who can speak to their personal activism and leadership in these domains. But this is a "Wiki" conference, and what it thrives on most is your participation, your differing areas of experience and expertise, to enliven and enrich all of the sessions we have planned together. And, exciting too, there still will be numerous opportunities for "unconference" sessions led by participants on the fly, and we encourage you to bring the ideas from your domain for these sessions as well. Here are the details for the conference: Dates: Friday, May 30, 2014 - Sunday, June 1, 2014 Location: New York Law School (185 West Broadway, New York, NY 10013) Website: http://wikiconferenceusa.org Email: wikicon(a)wikimedianyc.org Registration: http://wikiconusa.eventbrite.org/ And our distinguished and dynamic roster of keynote speakers: *Phoebe Ayers - Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees *Sumana Harihareswara - Wikimedia Foundation Engineering Community Team; Advisor, Ada Initiative *Christie Koehler - Community Building Education Lead, Mozilla Corporation *DC Vito, Executive Director - The LAMP/MediaBreaker For more information, please review our official press release below! We hope you will join us and help us spread the word! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiCon_USA_2014_Press_Release_v1.p… Thanks, Richard Knipel (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC

University of Delaware Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
by Audrey Hamelers 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

The Colored Conventions Project, in conjunction with the University of Delaware Library and the University of Delaware History Media Center, plans to host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the University of Delaware on Saturday, April 26. The program will start at 11:00 a.m. with an Intro to Wikipedia Editing Workshop, led by Mary Mark Ockerbloom, the Wikipedian in Residence at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia. Mary will give an overview of topics including Wikipedia culture, the writing style of Wikipedia, and nuts-and-bolts how-tos. After the Intro Workshop, the Edit-a-thon will begin at 1:15 p.m. Attendees are welcome to bring their own interests and data for entry in Wikipedia. Attendees who do not bring data of their own are invited to use the biographical and other information resources gathered by the Colored Conventions project, which covers a neglected, critical period of African-American history. The biographical information about historically important men and women of color could help to fill the current deficit of such information on Wikipedia.

Five things a Wikipedian in Residence can do
by Pete Forsyth 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

All: (I hope my cross-posting isn't a problem; please let me know if so.) Here's a blog post I just wrote: http://wikistrategies.net/5-things-wikipedian-in-residence/ Since there has been recent attention to how Wikipedian in Residence programs should be planned and executed,[1] I thought a general interest piece on what has been shown to work might be helpful. Feedback and responses encouraged! Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] Principal, Wiki Strategies [1] http://enwp.org/WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-03-19/News_and_notes

Fwd: [libraries] GLAM: Frederick Historical Society
by Bob Kosovsky 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

HI Derric, There are separate GLAM email lists to which I'm forwarding your message. GLAM folk: since Derric is not subscribed, you should ensure that your message goes to him directly. Bob ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Derric Atzrott <datzrott(a)alizeepathology.com> Date: Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 3:25 PM Subject: [libraries] GLAM: Frederick Historical Society To: Wikimedia & Libraries <libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello, Over the weekend I spoke with some folks from the Frederick Historical Society about Wikipedia and Wikisource and the value that their collection has. I mentioned the GLAM initiative to them, and they seemed interested. One person even printed out the GLAM page [0] for reference. Do any of you have experience setting up GLAM initiatives with archives? They have a lot of pre-1927 documents and photos that I suspect could be very useful to Wikipedia editors and the public as a whole. How would be the best way to approach trying to set something up. I myself actually am not as familiar with GLAM as I could be. Is there any pages that I should make sure I am familiar with as well? Note: This is unrelated to the edit-a-thon thread. The edit-a-thon is being hosted by my local public library. Here I am trying to set something up with my local historical society.

Grant proposal: Wikipedia Summer of Monuments 2014
by James Hare 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hello everyone, I have submitted a proposal for a project to take place this summer called Wikipedia Summer of Monuments. Summer of Monuments is molded off of the successful Wiki Loves Monuments, but this time involves cultural institutions as partners. The goal is to conduct GLAM outreach in the southern U.S. and to improve photographic coverage of NRHP sites in states where current photographic coverage is less than 50%. As part of this project I would like to hire a project manager to facilitate the outreach and keep things on track. Please review the proposal here and leave comments and questions: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_US-DC/Summer_of_Monuments_2014>. Thank you very much! — James Hare President, Wikimedia District of Columbia http://wikimediadc.org @harej / @wikimediadc
