Hello everyone,
On the cusp of GLAMcamp Amsterdam, we’re excited to announce that
GLAMcamp DC will be hosted by the National Archives and Records
Administration from February 10-12, 2012.
As with past GLAMcamps, GLAMcamp DC will be a meeting/workshop for
Wikimedians active in outreach within cultural institutions (as well as
for those interested in becoming more active.) The event will target a
small group of community-focused and technology-focused Wikimedians in
the United States who will continue and solidify the key elements of the
GLAM-Wiki project.
What makes this GLAMcamp different is its focus on the US. This event
will essentially serve as the kicking off of US GLAM-Wiki organization,
and will help to fine tune the scope and goals of the US Cultural
Partnerships Coordinator and associated projects. One of the primary
goals of GLAM-Wiki in the US is to establish a formal listing of
volunteers that can be called upon to assist GLAMs, and this event will
do much to galvanize such a group.
GLAMcamp DC will of course continue the good work that comes out of
GLAMcamp Amsterdam and will work to further improve the tools and
documentation associated with the wider GLAM-Wiki community.
While all are welcome to apply to attend, there are a limited number of
spots available. Please go here to apply:
