Dear friend
Welcome to Hack4OpenGLAM
<https://summit.creativecommons.org/hack4openglam-2021/>, a co-creation
event for working towards *Open Access to cultural heritage*. The event
brings together content communities, GLAM professionals, advocates of open
cultural heritage, digital creators, and tools or platform developers
– from newcomers to experts – to learn, work, and create with one another.
It is part of the CC Global Summit <https://summit.creativecommons.org/>
20–24 September 2021.
The event focuses on knowledge equity: Highlighting knowledge of
individuals, communities, and cultures who have been left out of the
spotlight of history, decolonizing cultural historical collections, and
acknowledging responsible ways of sharing information online openly.
We are looking for
-
Projects. A project can be as sketchy as an idea or a topic, or as
detailed as an existing project. It can be a call-to-action around a task
or a challenge to solve a problem.
-
Open collections at GLAM institutions or community archives and their
enthusiastic maintainers to participate in co-creation.
-
Digital creators from artists to developers, working with open platforms
and technologies.
-
Tools & platforms that enable this work, and their developers.
The registration is now open <https://okf.fi/hack4openglam2021-register>. In
the weeks and months leading to the event, we arrange weekly meetups on
Thursdays at 1pm <https://dateful.com/eventlink/3350245692> where project
ideas can be shared and discussed, and we will further promote them in
newsletters and tweets. You can read in more detail how the event is
arranged by checking out the webpage
<https://summit.creativecommons.org/hack4openglam-2021/>, or in the latest This
Month in GLAM
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/June_2021/Contents/Spec…>.
Last year’s contributions can be viewed on the Hack4OpenGLAM 2020 Dashboard
<https://summit.creativecommons.org/hack4openglam-dashboard/>.
Opportunities
1. We are looking for two energetic *facilitators* to join the organizing
team during August–September. The facilitators participate in hosting the
live program, facilitating collaboration, and guiding volunteers.
2. To better realize global equity, we are also looking for *regional
ambassadors* to reach out to GLAMs and contributors in their area and
domain.
Read more about the opportunities on the web page
<https://summit.creativecommons.org/hack4openglam-2021/> and apply before
18 July at http://okf.fi/h4og21-jobs.

Hi everyone,
If you or someone you know is interested in taking the online CC GLAM [Beta
Test] Certificate <https://certificates.creativecommons.org/> course in
September 2021, we still have a few spaces remaining.
You can register here
<https://certificates.creativecommons.org/about/packages/> (direct link
<https://www.classy.org/event/cc-certificate-course-registration/e303524>).
The CC GLAM Certificate provides an in-depth study of Creative Commons
licenses and open practices in the GLAM sector, uniquely developing
participants’ open licensing proficiency and understanding of the broader
context for open advocacy. The curriculum targets copyright law, CC legal
tools, how GLAM institutions open their cultural works, as well as the
values and good practices of working in a global, shared commons. The CC
Certificate is offered as a 10-week online course for GLAM community
members, educators, and academic librarians.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best wishes,
Brigitte
