Dear all,

*Deadline extension* The program committee is looking to create a diverse GLAM conference that truly serves the global community. To achieve this goal, we would like to accept submissions not only from established GLAM projects and communities, but also from emerging communities / developing countries / groups just starting out their GLAM endeavors.

Looking at the submissions so far https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GLAM_TLV_2018_open_submissions, we have decided to extend the content submission https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMTLV2018/Program deadline *till next Monday, May 7th, at midnight *(wherever you are in the world). We are hoping this extension will encourage more submission from developing countries, emerging community and allow for a more diverse program.

*Tips* In the past week I've been asked repeatedly if I have tips for good submissions. The best tip I can offer is -- no matter if your GLAM partnership / project is well established or you are just starting out, make sure your submissions offers an added value beyond "this is what we did in our project", i.e. focus on what you leaned and how it could be of use by others in the GLAM community.

GLAM on, Shani.
