The GLAM-Wiki Revolution

by Joe Sutherland

Hey guys, Myself and another WMUK-affiliated filmmaker recently shot a documentary about the GLAM programme in the UK. We showed it at Wikimania and the reception was fantastic. Today, we're uploading it to Commons/YouTube and it'd be great to have it shared through the official channels as well. I'm proposing the following: - *t:* The GLAM-Wiki Revolution: An insight into the GLAM programme in the United Kingdom, featuring several Wikipedians in Residence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlNT16gqHyo - *f/g:* Want to know how Wikimedia works with galleries, libraries, archives and museums? The GLAM-Wiki Revolution investigates how the movement has impacted the United Kingdom's cultural sector. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlNT16gqHyo The video isn't uploaded fully yet, but should be by tomorrow (it's a pretty large file!). So I'm proposing tomorrow. *Link to Social Media Calendar:* Let me know what you think! best, Joe -- Joe Sutherland Communications Volunteer m: +45 50 28 40 84 | t: @jrbsu | w: jsutherland <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:JSutherland_(WMF)>
