Further to this announcement from the other week:
On request to provide some support for affiliates who do not have a
pre-existing travel budget for such events: we have now created a grant
request for support for up to 10 representatives of non-APG/SimpleAPG
Affiliates, from the European region, who are already involved in GLAMwiki
activities.

If that potentially describes your Affiliate, please be aware of this grant
application's existence and consider nominating someone to attend (and/or
make an endorsement/comment on the grant application page itself).
Sincerely,
- Liam / Wittylama

Dear GLAMwiki community,
This is a quick 'for your information' announcement, on behalf of
Europeana, to say that a 2017 sequel to the 2015 European GLAMwiki
Coordinators meeting[1] is now confirmed.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_European_GLAMwiki_Coordinators_meeting
This two-day meeting will be hosted at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on
16 & 17 February (with a third day for practical training workshops hosted
by WM-France). The goal is to share skills and best practices, coordinate
projects, and consolidate connections between parts of our movement
involved in GLAM outreach.
As this a functionaries meeting, not an outreach conference, attendance
numbers are limited to those who have responsibility for coordinating GLAM
activities at a European Wikimedia affiliate organisation - staff, board or
designated volunteer. Nevertheless, as with 2015, both the advance-planning
and post-event documentation will be published on Meta as best as we can
make it.
If your Wikimedia affiliate has a GLAM coordinator and would like to
attend, please get in contact with any of us off list.
Sincerely,
Liam Wyatt (Europeana), John Cummings (WiR - UNESCO), & Rémy Gerbet
(WM-France)
