Shani,

Of course those outside of the US can (and should!) participate! Please do! It's hosted by the US folks but it's for all of us. 

Please add your topic that you'd like to talk about on the wiki page at the link provided. Then you'll be one of those who also share, as Dominic mentions. As many as 10 can share or ask questions in the hang out. If you want to be one of those 10, sign up on the page as such (there are two headings to differentiate this). Then we'll share the appropriate link with the speakers. 

The youtube link to watch live will be shared on this list, on twitter, Facebook, and on the wiki page once it's begun. This is a weird hang outs on air quirk that we haven't quite figured out yet. We're still learning this tool. 

Hope that helps. Details should be on-wiki. 

Lori

Hi, Dominic & all.

First, this is a great initiative. Thanks for carrying it on. Two questions -

1 - is it open to participants from outside the US?

2 - how do one join the google hangout? Do you send invites to those interested? And can someone join as an active listener, not via youtube, but rather to the hangout itself, say to ask questions.

Thanks for clarifying!

Best,
Shani.

Hi all!

 

We will be having our second GLAMout—a monthly live Google Hangout on Air session to discuss developments in GLAM-Wiki which is also recorded—this Friday, June 7, 3–4 p.m. EDT (12–1 p.m. PDT; 7–8 UTC). Please mark it on your calendars and try to join live or contribute. The GLAMout is a chance to share important news or progress on GLAM-Wiki projects. I have created a new section for June at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/GLAMout>. Sara Snyder and I have volunteered to talk about the new project getting started at the Smithsonian Institution this summer, but we need more contributors. Please sign up if you can speak on a topic.


If you missed the first GLAMout, you can get an idea of what it's like by watching the archived video here: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GLAMout_episode_1_-_May_3,_2013.webm>.


Thanks!

Dominic
