This sounds like an amazing idea!

After the successful GLAM Wiki 2013, there was talk about who would like to
host the next one. Id like to raise the possibility of having it in
Mexico, at my campus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITESM_CCM
ITESM CCM has been working on a number of different Wikipedia projects,
which include the campus library sponsoring photo contests and donations of
photos from the campus archives. In addition, at the education get-together
at the Milan meeting, there was discussion of how education and GLAM can,
and perhaps should, overlap. It would also be a good idea to have a major
GLAM event on the west side of the Atlantic.
I have discussed the possibility with the campus library director, who is
quite enthusiastic and have talked to a number of people (students and
teachers) already involved with Wikipedia. We have a preliminary user group
up and going
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Borregos_CCM_Student_User_Group, that
we will solidify come August when everyone is on campus and we can meet
face-to-face. We are looking at a date sometime in April.
We have also talked to Wikimedia Mexico, which has preliminary agreed to
cooperate with us.
We would like to know if the community likes the idea!
