Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the Journée Wikimédia Culture et numérique organized by Wikimédia France. This professional meeting benefits from the partnerships of the Archives Nationales, Clic France, and the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art.

This edition is remarkable because it will be the opportunity to present the very first report on open content practices by the GLAMs in France.
We have been working on this project for many months and we are proud to present it to many cultural institutions and representatives of the Ministry of Culture.

This report offers an overview and analysis of the accomplished and on-going open content projects. It allows us to understand the stakes, the obstacles, the constraints and the benefits of the implementation of such policies within GLAM. The methodology based on qualitative and quantitative analysis also allows us to identify future perspectives, a subject that will be discussed during round tables in the morning.

The morning tracks around the report will lead to interactive exchanges on the afternoon between cultural professionals about the main phases of setting up an open content project. We have not translated yet the event page but I can propose it in French at first: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Journée_Wikimedia_Culture_et_Numérique_2022
The event, which takes place IRL, will be recorded and broadcasted on our networks by the end of May.

I am available if you have any questions about this project. I will soon tell you about 2 other projects related to open content and collaborative practices that we will launch in October.

Cheers,

Xavier
