Also thank you Bishakha for your earlier introduction. As described, I have been invited to speak at a conference in Delhi and thought it would be a good opportunity to visit also Mumbai and Bangalore and see if there was anything I could do to help the local Wikimedia communities in these cities to generate some prodictive relationships with local cultural organisations. For Mumbai and Bangalore I think it would be best to have (potentially) a couple of meetings - one with just wikimedians (with dinner?) where we can plan and talk about what you can/would like to achieve. And then a second meeting which includes any GLAM representatives wo would like to meet us so we can all talk together. If there is time/interest afterwards, it might also be possible to visit some specific institutions directly. For Delhi, I have a bit less time because I will be speaking at the ICLAM conference on both the 15th and 16th. Therefore, possibly the best time to do things in Delhi would be dinner on the 16th(?) and maybe a meeting on the 17th? In any case, you do not need me to be present, of course, to start making collaboration projects with local cultural organisations but I hope that I can be a catalyst! So, if you are interested in being involved in GLAM outreach and can come to some event At any of these cities, please add your name at the relevant place and help organise a meetup. I look forward to meeting you all next month, Sincerely, -Liam Wittylama.com/blog Peace, love & metadata On 26/01/2011, at 6:49, Arun Ramarathnam &lt;arunram25(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Dear Wikimedians, It's a pleasure to inform you all that Liam Wyatt<http://www.wittylama.com/>will be visiting India between 12th and 19th Feb to focus on GLAM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_(industry_sector)>related initiatives here. Liam's visit to India is intended to support wikimedia communities to explore the possibilities of collaborating with Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) in strengthening articles on wikipedia of mutual interest. Liam recently became a Wikimedia Fellow - <http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/19/announcing-our-glam-fellow-liam-wyatt/> http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/19/announcing-our-glam-fellow-liam-w… Liam was the wikipedian in residence<http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/07/10/the-royal-cup-bridge… at the British Museum last year. Liam has been focussed on GLAM and was the convener of the GLAM-WIKI <http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/GLAM-WIKI>event held in Australia in August 2009. It is great to have Liam visiting us. He will be visiting Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. We hope to make the most of Liam's visit to create more awareness for GLAM amongst wikipedians and connect with GLAM stakeholders wherever possible. Liam will also be speaking at the ICLAM<http://www.nift.ac.in/ICLAM_2011/index.htm>conference on the 15th. For coordinating events during his visit, I have create a GLAM project page on the India wiki, to help us all get started: <http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Projects:GLAM_2011> http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Projects:GLAM_2011 There are city specific pages, each of which has a planning page. We look forward to all your support and active participation to organize events and meeting in various cities. Wikipedians are requested to join the discussions in the planning pages for each city. . regards Arun Bangalore, India <http://www.twitter.com/arunram>www.twitter.com/arunram ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: wikimedia-in-blr-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org To: Date: Subject: confirm c3f9c8e77ae1218ae4b1506776b4600f0acb0115 If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message.
