Hello everyone!
tl;dr Please fill in this short survey about how you like your GLAM-Wiki
documentation!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWcLNO6dyM11usIet29bGhEPtbA-01q04…
In 2019, the documentation for batch uploads of files to Wikimedia Commons
will be improved, on the occasion of Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons.
Before we start working on this, the GLAM team at the Wikimedia Foundation
wants to understand better which types of documentation you already use,
and how you like to learn new GLAM-Wiki skills and knowledge. To learn more
about this, I have created a short survey, which you can access here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWcLNO6dyM11usIet29bGhEPtbA-01q04…
The survey runs until November 30, 2018. It is most relevant for beginning
and active GLAM-Wiki volunteers, and for GLAM staff members who have (some)
hands-on experience with Wikimedia projects.
You can read the privacy statement at
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-Wiki_Documentation_Survey_Privac…
If you have any questions, please get in touch with me:

Many thanks in advance! :-) Greetings, Sandra

Save the date for the 2019 LD4 Conference: May 10-11, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, at the Martin Conference Center<http://www.theconfcenter.hms.harvard.edu/> at Harvard Medical School. The LD4P initiative<http://www.ld4p.org/>, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is hosting this conference to bring together those who are passionate about the adoption of linked data in libraries.
We’re seeking volunteers to join the Program Committee and set the themes, goals, format, and content of the meeting, from the overall vision down to the details of the two-day agenda. Our beautiful venue accommodates up to 150 people, with flexibility for multiple simultaneous activities. The possibilities are wide open for the direction and nature of this meeting: What would be most valuable to you in a community meeting? How can this community gathering best advance the adoption of linked data in libraries? Join the Program Committee and shape an event you want to be part of!
To be on the Program Committee, you should plan on attending the conference in Boston on May 9 and 10, 2019, and be available for bi-weekly teleconference calls beginning in December. (Program Committee members will receive a stipend to offset the cost of attendance.)
Fill in this short form (https://goo.gl/forms/fEuYxOP4AkiV6dH93) by November 20 to join the Program Committee.
For those not joining the Program Committee, keep an eye out for a call for proposals and other announcements about the 2019 LD4 Conference!

Hello everyone!
This is a new community consultation for Structured Data on Commons that is
quite relevant for everyone who deals with copyright and licenses on
Wikimedia Commons.
Please take a look, and voice your opinion!
Thank you :-) Sandra

Greetings,
New designs are up for structured copyright and licensing statements [1],
based on feedback from the first round of designs. Please take some time to
look over the new mockups and tell us what you think. How copyright and
licensing is displayed in structured data is extremely important, and the
development team needs to hear from you.
Thanks, enjoy your weekend.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] November 30 deadline for new Project Grant
proposals
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi folks,
The open call for Project Grants is officially underway! As you prepare
your proposals this month, please keep in mind that the final deadline is
November 30th, and that this will be only the only open call for Project
Grants during this fiscal year, which ends on June 30th, 2019. To learn
more about this grant program and how to prepare an application, please
visit our landing page on Meta. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project>
In addition to the resources mentioned in the prior announcement, we have
scheduled some proposal clinics where applicants will be able to discuss
their proposals or ask questions with Wikimedia Foundation staff using
Google Meet or using IRC. Some of these will be themed toward specific
topics (such as proposals involving a GLAM-related project), and others
will be more general. For a list of scheduled proposal clinics, please
review the Project Grants landing page on Meta. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project#Upcoming_events>. Additional
clinics may be added throughout the month.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
Due personal circumstances I sadly can't be present at the GLAMwiki
Conference in Tel Aviv this year.
My question for everyone going there is to help promote the newsletter *This
Month in GLAM* is more people share there stories, best practices and
initiatives so we all can learn from it.
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter
Thanks!
Romaine
