Hi:
Just wanted to share with you that LaOficina, the NGO where I work at, has
applied for a WMF's rapid grant in the GLAM domain, We are a very small
cultural association and are creating our own digital archive, so we need
a set of required resources that in a conventional manner we can't afford.
Our approach, we called SMALL GLAM SLAM, is a set of practices in term of
cheap hardware acquisition, free software tools (the main one is Wikibase),
a set of essential data models/vocabularies and modelled methodologies to
reduce all the entry barriers for very small organisations like us. I know
there are a lot of commonalities with other initiatives in the Wikimedia
Movement but we don't pretend to reinvent nothing but to bundle the
essential infrastructure for any little organization starting their own
GLAM project. If the application is successful, we expect it to be the
first of many others until the Movement gets a bundle advanced enough.
You'll find the details at

We'll be very happy for any feedback.
Thanks.
