Dear GLAMers,
2 quick (but important!) updates regarding the GLAMWiki Conference in Tel
Aviv later this year:
*1) Conference dates change - *
Originally, the conference was planned to take place between October 13-15,
2018.
We have pushed the dates to *November 03-05, 2018, *in order to accommodate
Katherine's schedule, so she can attend as well.
This is the final date and will not change in the future. We apologize for
any inconvenience due to this change.
*2) Call for candidates for the program committee - *
I've been asked to serve as the chair of the program committee for the
conference and am *looking for qualified **candidates to serve with me on
the Program Committee. **The main agenda of the committee will be to ensure
that we end up with a well-balanced, well-organized, diverse and
high-quality program, which best represents the needs of our global GLAM
community. *
*The content submissions for the conference will open mid March and close
at the end of April. *
*Members of the committee will be expected to read and evaluate the
submissions during May and determine which submissions are accepted. *
*The committee will then notify presenters and will await final approval
from them (by the end of June), after which there will be a shorter,
2-weeks second round of changes to the program according presenters'
replies beginning to till Mid July. *
*More details regarding the complete timeline, including deadlines for
scholarships submissions and registrations, will be send out at the
beginning of March (including a link to the conference website on Meta,
which we are working on).*
*In the meantime, if you are a GLAM enthusiast, have experience leading
GLAM projects, involved in the global GLAM community and are excited to
take part in determining what the conference will offer to its
participants, please send an email my way to - shani.even(a)gmail.com
<shani.even(a)gmail.com> by March 14th. *
*Your mail should then describe your GLAM experience (shortly :)) and why
you believe you will be a good candidate for the conference program
committee. *
* Please state "Candidate for the GLAMWiki Program Committee" in the
subject line. *
*Cheers, *
*Shani. *
