Hi Lori,
I sent out a summary of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries workshop at the
beginning of the week (I believe you were copied on that and I could
send to the list as well if there is interest).
I just now posted to our blog summarizing the event:
http://hangingtogether.org/?p=1987 - the blog posting is a sort of
boiled down version of what I sent around via email. On Monday I'm going
to use the blog to summarize the GLAM events I attended (including the
reception and the launch of the consortium). Anyone who wants to pillage
my text is more than welcome to!

Subject: [GLAM] Special Wikimania edition TMIG?
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
