Yes, this mailing list is still alive, and the membership is open to Wikipedians who understand how to jump the hoops of the meta page. The meta page is not only the place where you can sign up for the list, but also the place where you should discuss this list if you object to it in any way. I am one of several list admins who adds people to the list based on the sign-up page and emails that come in. https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Mailing_lists
The biggest reason for it being closed is to ensure that we can speak honestly about projects with have had with external partners - because GLAM is inherently about building professional and long-term relationships externally

Hi, the mailing list of cultural partners "hosted by" Wikimedia CH is not a Wikimedia CH mailing list.
I remember that a lot of year ago, during the Wikimedia conferences, the chapters asked to have some mailing lists to discussed themes like GLAMs.
I, as member of the staff of Wikimedia CH, don't have access.
The best is to ask to the administrators of the mailing list if it is still alive.

Your comment does not cover the fact that not all lists are hosted by lists.wikimedia.org.
E.g. cultural partnership is here:
https://intern.wikimedia.ch/lists/listinfo/cultural-partners
Some other chapters also host lists and there're googlegroups to consider. That's a one thing why a mere server listing of lists does not suffice. Another is that an automatical list listing isn't where you can write rules, membership procedure/criteria and other stuff needed for transparency. Well not just transparency issue but also of need to concentrate data in one place is to be considered. --Base

The canonical home for the list of lists is https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo. While it is possible to have a list hidden from there, it would be pretty unusual for a GLAM list, I think.

Hi guys.
Just how many GLAM lists do we have?
Not counting regional ones, I know of GLAM, Cultural-Partners, Libraries, got to know about existence of some the "paris group" (not sure if it's even a mailing list technically, but in case it's not then it's weird even more). Perhaps there are some (or is it many?) others.
Should they not be all listed in one place, e.g. on https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Mailing_lists with clear data about who manages them, what are their scope, rules and how you might joint them?
Just having many is already confusing but when you can't even get a list of all of them it's confusing even more.
I'm sorry if some of the lists I listed were intended as cabalish and not to be disclosed to others. I don't think cabalish lists are a good way to collaborate for wikimedians.
Yours sincerely, Base
