Hello all,
We're quickly coming up on the end of the month and the next deadline for
This Month in GLAM. I wanted to suggest that we do something of a special
edition of TMIG that is not differentiated by country, but is all focused
on Wikimania. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
This Wikimania was incredible in regards to the amount of focus there was
on GLAM. So it might make sense to break it down by topics rather than
nationalities, in my opinion.
Please help me fill in the gaps on what types of
GLAM-related activities occurred at Wikimania:
- Wiki Loves Monuments
- Wiki Loves Libraries Event
- David Ferriero's closing plenary
- QRpedia (Workshop, news on Congressional Cemetery)
- Women in GLAM / Wiki in Archives / Other broad GLAM-related sessions
(WikiAfrica, State of GLAM US, Engage or Perish.)
- National GLAM Coordinators Panel
- GLAM Night Out / GLAM-US Consortium launch
- Library of Congress opening reception
- *[Other stuff I'm surely missing because it's Friday and my brain is
tired.]*
Let the TMIG reporting begin? : )
Best,
Lori

Hello everyone and welcome to our new list subscribers!
About two weeks ago I shared information on the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium,
which we officially launched at the GLAM Night Out event at the Newseum
during Wikimania. We were also lucky enough to have the launch reiterated
by the Archivist of the United States, David Ferriero, during the closing
plenary.
The defining goal of the Consortium is to bring GLAM professionals together
with Wikipedians to work and discuss more efficiently together - and we've
definitely started off on the right foot! Already we have many
organizations, cultural professionals, and Wikipedians who are interested
in being a part of the GLAM-US Consortium. So with this momentum, it's
truly time to come together and establish a useful structure for this
network.
I urge you to join the conversation and help to establish what the
Consortium will look like, both in the short-term and long-term.
Things you can do:
- *Read *through this one-page overview of the Consortium's broad goals: *
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Consortium*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Consortium>
- *Sign up* as an affiliate organization, chapter, or individual if you are
interested in taking part.
- *Share* your thoughts on the Consortium on the* talk page*, if you're
comfortable doing so, or on this *email list*.
- You can specifically address the following questions:
- What platforms for discussion and information dispersal are most
immediately useful & relevant to you?
- What organizational structures should be aimed for in the future?
- What funding models could be pursued in the future?
I have cc'd the Libraries list and the global GLAM list on this email just
as an FYI. In the future, all discussion of the GLAM-US Consortium will be
centralized here on the GLAM-US list. If you are on these other lists and
are interested in taking part, please sign up here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/glam-us
With the abundance of talks, events, and praise for GLAM last week at
Wikimania, I've never been more proud to be a part of this incredible
global community. I'm really excited to see where the GLAM-US Consortium
might lead - in particular in bringing cultural professionals more
coherently into the conversation.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best,
Lori

Hello all,
I wanted to remind everyone that the @glamwiki Twitter account is available
for dispersing any news or events or links that you have to share. The
GLAM-Wiki US facebook account also is available for US-based things (that
account came out of GLAMcamp DC back in February.)
While I maintain them pretty regularly and I strive to represent as broadly
as I can based on the news/links I find, I could use help in sharing
information (and in creating *specific* 140 character tweets). I'm happy to
post anything that you send me.
I'll be without internet for all of next week and I would like to queue up
a solid series of posts. So, in the next two days in particular it'd be
useful for you to share any links and associated tweets with me. I'll be
happy to get them ready to go for next week.
Then it'd be great for this habit to continue from here on out : ).
Thanks so much!
Lori

Hi all,
Just a reminder that the call for papers for GLAM-WIKI is closing next week:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI_2012/Call_for_papers
- if there's anything you'd like to present on, or a workshop you'd
like to organise, please let us know! This is a good opportunity for
people, particularly from Europe or the UK, who couldn't make it to DC
but have projects they'd like to showcase...
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in September,

The Wikimania people were nice enough to prioritize the editing of David
Ferriero's closing plenary speech at Wikimania so that he could embed it in
his blog post which was published today. As a result, it's actually the
only official video from Wikimania available yet! See:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47pEcmXjt8E (blog
post<http://blogs.archives.gov/aotus/?p=4298>
)
I thought people on this list would be interested to view it, if you didn't
get a chance to see it in person, and also to share and quote from it even
if you did. It's all about putting our GLAM work in the context of ongoing
trends in the cultural sector, and it was well-received by the live
audience (though the cheering is a bit muted in the video). The full text
will go up at archives.gov soon
(here<http://www.archives.gov/about/speeches/ferriero/index.html>
).

Hi,
I created the timed transcripts in English, and BTW UniversalSubtitles is
quite wonderful:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:Share_Your_Knowledge_1_Why_glam…http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:Share_Your_Knowledge_2_How_glam…http://www.universalsubtitles.org/fr/videos/QyAwr8wXOGBG/info/http://www.universalsubtitles.org/fr/videos/bzsrJXLJUuGK/info/
And translated the first into French (if someone wants to do the second… :)
If I understand correctly the translation workflow of Commons videos (it’s
the first time I translate Commons videos), you can either copy the
Commons English page under the same title with ".lang-code.srt" at the
end, either use the translation tool on universalsubtitles.org and then
copy the SRT result on Commons.
Cheers,
Sébastien

For those who can read Spanish or Catalan, two members of Wikimedia Spain have written an article in a Review about "Analysis of links to cultural heritage libraries and digital archives from Spanish and Catalan Wikipedia".

Hello!
Today the Department of Culture of Palafrugell (Catalonia) opens an
exhibition of painter *Josep Costa
Sobrepera*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josep_Costa_Sobrepera>. This
is the first time there is a code QRpedia in this town.
It would be great to have this article in many languages. Thus, tourists
from around the world can have the information in their mother tongue.
I'll send you a photo of the QR code!!
