Hey folks!
Forwarding the guide that the #VisibleWikiWomen campaign of "Whose
Knowledge?" did for GLAM institutions that want to upload more pictures of
women into Wikimedia Commons:
Guide for Cultural and Memory Institutions to Make Women Visible on
Wikipedia today:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OITjCzq098SVC6luFPgBdXmBES5-fTnIgF5JoCX…
The guide is only available in English right now but apparently there's a
Spanish version coming up!
Hope you find it useful and that everyone is staying safe!
cheers,

Hello folks!
We know these are challenging times for everyone, and especially for the
cultural sector. Several people are getting laid off or dramatically having
to change their roles, scope of work, or methodologies. Institutions are
dealing with a lot of uncertainty and very dramatic budget reductions.
There's also an unnecessary pressure for "being productive" in times were
folks might be struggling with isolation or illness -- all in all, a very
challenging scenario.
So we acknowledge these are hard times to think about the future and the
opportunities for openness in the cultural sector, but we still want to
touch base and see how everyone is doing and provide some updates of where
we are with the Open GLAM Declaration.
That's why we are keeping our community call for Thursday April 9
(tomorrow), at 10 AM EST - 3 PM CET - 11 AM UTC-3 on Uberconference:
https://www.uberconference.com/openglam
We'll be sharing some updates about the current status of the Declaration,
check in with people, and also comment on some activities & methodologies
we're planning for keeping people engaged with the conversation during
these times.
See you tomorrow!
