The decision to pursue affiliation was one of the main outcomes of the Consortium's advisory group meeting in April. We see this as an important step in our evolution as a group, and for the GLAM-Wiki movement in the US. See below for the resolution.

Dear everybody,
Sorry for cross posting.
On Saturday the 29th of June, there will be a number of WWI
edit-a-thons organized in Europe and Australia! So far six countries have edit-a-thons planned and volunteers from two other countries are planning online events in two other Wikipedia
language versions!
This is an initiative by Wikimedia Sverige, in cooperation with Europeana,
and we would like to invite all of you to organize a small gathering in your
country/hometown; create an online contest in your language version; or
simply join one of the existing ones – simply sign up on Meta or drop me an email if you have any questions!
If you, as a participant, use the images from Europeana and
write articles you can win a travel check with 300 euros (which for
example could help cover part of your costs for participating at
Wikimania or some other nice trip)! Read more about the Europeana Challenge here.
As far as I know this is the largest number of parallel
edit-a-thons ever! So don't miss out now when we are writing history!
*pun intended*
Kind regards,
John

but open to all :) is happening now (3pm ET) on Google Hangouts On Air.
Please join us!

Feel free to post questions on the #glamwiki hashtag if you're not one of
those taking part in the Hangout itself, but are instead watching live.
Can't join us now? The video will be available soon. Please post agenda
items and sign up for the July Hangout as well! (The wiki page will be

Hi all!****
** **
We will be having our second GLAMout—a monthly live Google Hangout on Air
session to discuss developments in GLAM-Wiki which is also recorded—this
Friday, June 7, 3–4 p.m. EDT (12–1 p.m. PDT; 7–8 UTC). Please mark it on
your calendars and try to join live or contribute. The GLAMout is a chance
to share important news or progress on GLAM-Wiki projects. I have created a
new section for June at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/GLAMout>.
Sara Snyder and I have volunteered to talk about the new project getting
started at the Smithsonian Institution this summer, but we need more
contributors. Please sign up if you can speak on a topic.
If you missed the first GLAMout, you can get an idea of what it's like by
watching the archived video here: <

Thanks!
Dominic
