Dear all,
Hope this email finds you well! The Content Partnerships Hub is bringing an
in-person Helpdesk to Wikimania this year and we’d love for you to stop by.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub
The Helpdesk is designed to support any member of the Wikimedia community
to make a content partnership successful. This could be uploading content,
creating meta data structures, drafting a project plan together, or
supporting a new partner with their uncertainties with Wiki-tools and
platforms or even copyright clearance.
This is your opportunity to talk to an expert directly and get your
questions answered. Book an appointment now, or stop by the Helpdesk in
Foyer S2 during Thursday, 23 July.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Best,
Connor

Hello,
Over the last few months the Global GLAM Calls
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_GLAM_calls> have grown
significantly! This month in April there were more than 100 registrations,
and 50 attendees on the call. This is incredible!
All this is thanks to your contribution, curiosity, and continued
engagement with culture, heritage, and Wikimedia projects.
In case you missed the call the recording is already available
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Global_GLAM_call_2026-04-28> on
Commons. The topics, presenters, and documents, are also neatly organized
in Metabase <https://metabase.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q43731> for easy
search and reference.
But now’s the time to build out the agendas for the coming months. Do you
have a topic you’d like to present on or have a request for? Send it to the
organizers via the request form
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_GLAM_Calls/Topic_Requests> on
Meta-wiki.
In 2026 there’s special focus on topics from the Strategic Pillars (Small
GLAMs, Minority Languages, Robust Technical Infrastructure, and Community
(mental) Health, and GLAM Recognition) but all kinds of presentations and
discussions are welcome.
Registration for the May call
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Global_GLAM_call_2026-05-26> is
already open, though the agenda is not 100% ready. See you online!
All the best,
