Hello everyone,
I'm excited to invite you to the 28th edition of the DCW Conversation Hour,
featuring Jon Harald Søby, a founding member of Wikimedia Norge, and a
bureaucrat and administrator on the Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia, as well
as a former administrator on Wikidata. In this session, we'll explore how
Wikimedia Incubator supports the growth of new language communities and the
process of developing test projects into full Wikimedia wikis, and how new
language communities can build Wikimedia projects before launching as
independent wikis, focusing at large on its role in Language Activism.
The conversation hour is scheduled for Saturday, 26 April 2025, at 14:30
UTC ( 8:00 pm IST).
For more details, please visit the event page on our website:

I'm excited to see you participate. Please bring along your questions!
Kind regards,

Hello :)
*(survey incoming, apologies for the cross posting)*
The global GLAM community is buzzing with activity! Across the world, there
are meetings, campaigns, and projects all working to connect culture and
heritage with Wikimedia initiatives.
Earlier this year, the GLOSS working group was formed to explore what kind
of GLAM structure would best serve the community at this point, and what
needs it should address. This working group builds on years of
progress—especially the recent momentum—to further embed the GLAM community
within our movement.
As mentioned during last week’s Global Call, the working group is now
launching a needs assessment survey. Its purpose is to better understand
the global community and, ultimately, help shape a new approach that
supports GLAM activities around the world.
You can learn more about the GLOSS working group on the Meta page

Most importantly, if you have thoughts on what a centralized GLAM structure
could look like—what needs it should meet, how it could support your work
and contribute to the broader movement—please take 5 minutes to fill out
the survey!
*Deadline 12 May!*

And feel free to spread the word! Share it with your local chapter, other
affiliates, or directly with fellow editors and volunteers.
The survey is already available in 4 languages. You can translate the
survey meta page, and we will update the survey with your translation!
Best,
GLOSS Working Group!
